Practical AI for preconstruction. Built by an estimator, not a software vendor.
For owners, chief estimators and precon directors at commercial GCs and trade subcontractors. We serve GCs and subs nationwide, and we work remote-first.
What it looks like in practice
25+ years
In commercial construction: journeyman carpenter to contractor owner to estimator.
Omissions
Costly omissions caught before bid day, saving five figures or more each time.
Scope gaps
Understated revisions and unassigned scope surfaced across a full GMP bid tab.
In-House Toolkits
Custom tools built to fit your team's daily workflow, then used every day.
Services
Three ways to work with us
Start here
Bid-Day Risk Audit
Send a bid package, get a report of scope gaps, takeoff-vs-estimate variances, formula errors, unassigned exclusions and double-carried scope.
You get: a 1-page findings memo (PDF) and a line-by-line Excel audit.
Bid Leveling Service
Sub proposals leveled against the bid tab into an apples-to-apples scope matrix, with targeted clarification questions for low-detail bidders.
You get: a leveled Excel bid matrix and clarification questions ready to send to subs.
Estimating Scorecard
Built from your own bid log and job-cost data: win rate by bid size, sector and client, margin fade, change-order growth.
Build
Custom Tools & Private AI
Tools and pipelines built around how your office works, yours to keep and run, plus AI use policy and cloud-vs-local data rules, with optional on-premises models.
If your team does it twice by hand, we can probably build it.
Grow
Historical Data Mining
Years of job files turned into answers on sub schedule slippage, labor drift vs. estimate, winning PM/super pairings and repeat scope blind spots.
Fractional Precon-Tech Advisor
Monthly hours for tool upkeep, new pipelines and a standing call.
Your data stays yours
Remote
Files arrive over an encrypted connection and are processed on our own secured hardware. Raw files never touch public AI.
On-premises
Everything runs on your infrastructure and never leaves your building. We spec the hardware to run the models.
Either way
About 90% of the work is deterministic code. Sensitive text stays on local models, and cloud models see only scrubbed data.
How it works
From your files to a ranked list of what matters
- 1
Send files over an encrypted link
Estimate, takeoff, bid tab, sub proposals, drawings. Whatever you'd hand a second set of eyes.
- 2
Automated checks, estimator-verified
Automated checks catch what people miss, and an estimator verifies each one. Nothing goes out on the strength of a script alone.
- 3
Findings ranked by what they'd cost you
The big misses are at the top, so you know where to spend the last hours before the bid goes in.
- 4
Keep it going
Set up recurring audits, or have us build tools your team owns and runs.
Bid day is no time to find out what you missed
Send us your next package. We'll tell you what's missing, what's carried twice, and what it would cost you, before the number goes in.
The estimator still makes every call. We just make sure nothing goes unread.
