What We Automate

We don't know every problem in your operation. You do. These are the types of work we engineer AI for. You tell us where it hurts most.

Data Entry Automation

→

Your team re-types data from one system to another. We eliminate that.

takeoff quantities bid tabulations spec data

Report & Document Drafting

→

Proposals and bid packages assembled from estimates and project data automatically.

bid proposals scope letters qualification packages

Incoming Request Processing

→

Sub bids come in from dozens of trades in different formats. We normalize and compare them.

sub bids bid invitations addenda tracking

Risk & Anomaly Detection

→

Scope gaps and bid anomalies caught before they become costly change orders.

scope gaps bid outliers spec conflicts

Report & Dashboard Consolidation

→

Bid comparison and pipeline tracking across all active pursuits in one view.

bid comparisons pursuit pipeline win rate tracking

Quote & Proposal Generation

→

Conceptual estimates and budget proposals generated from historical cost data.

Common Questions About AI for Preconstruction

How do we start?
We start with a 2-week AI Roadmap. Our engineers spend time inside your preconstruction operation — watching your team level bids, mapping your estimating flows, measuring your volumes. The output is a ranked list of workflows by ROI, with implementation timelines and expected savings. No commitment to build beyond the roadmap.
What does my team do differently on day 1?
Almost nothing. The first workflow runs alongside your existing process — AI extracts bid data in parallel while your team works normally. Once accuracy is validated (typically 2-3 weeks), we switch over. Your estimators start reviewing AI-extracted quantities instead of doing every takeoff manually. The transition is gradual, not a big bang.
How does this work with our estimating software?
We build on top of your existing systems. We integrate with PlanSwift, Bluebeam, HCSS, and every major estimating platform. The AI layer connects systems that don't talk to each other today. Your IT team keeps managing infrastructure. We build the automation that sits between your systems.
What about plan revisions and scope changes?
Every workflow we build handles the reality of changing plans. For takeoffs, the AI detects changes between plan revisions and highlights differences — your estimators review and validate. We maintain audit trails for every automated extraction. The AI doesn't make scope decisions; it eliminates the manual work of comparing plan sets.
How do we measure success?
We define success metrics with you before building anything. Typical metrics: bid leveling time, takeoff accuracy, scope gap detection rate, and proposal turnaround speed. We set up dashboards that show before/after in real-time. If the numbers don't improve within 90 days, we fix it on our dime.
What's the total cost for year 1?
Two options. Per Workflow: $25K-$75K per workflow, best for starting with one high-impact process like bid leveling or quantity takeoffs. Dedicated Team: ~$22K/month for 2+ AI engineers embedded in your operation, building multiple workflows continuously. Most preconstruction teams start with one workflow, prove the ROI, then move to a dedicated team.
