CONSTRUCTION

Read the drawings before the bid, and again when the revision lands.

Quantities, scope gaps and change orders stay tied to the sheet, clause or quote they came from. Estimators review the exceptions. Nothing reaches a bid without a person signing it.

A commercial subcontract lives in bid invites, plan sets and a specification that disagrees with the drawings in a few expensive places.

Who it is for

Trade contractors

One trade at a time: painting, drywall, fire protection, flooring, low-voltage. Incoming invites are sorted, quantities are taken off the drawings, and a proposal goes back in one or two days.

General contractors

Tender sets, subcontractor quotes and late revisions are read together. Scope, exclusions and quantity changes sit side by side before the number goes out.

Estimating desks

The in-house estimator stays on judgment. Measurement, revision comparison and quote leveling are prepared for review instead of started from a blank sheet.

Start with one workflow.

PRECONSTRUCTION

Quantity takeoff

Plan sets are measured against your trade and cost codes. Each quantity keeps the sheet, detail and revision it was read from.

Bid invite triage

Invites are sorted by trade, due date and fit. The desk works the bids that are worth pricing and declines the rest with a reason.

Quote leveling

Subcontractor quotes arrive in whatever format they arrive in. Scope, quantities, exclusions and price differences are lined up before anyone compares them by eye.

REVISIONS AND COMMERCIAL CONTROL

Drawing comparison

Two revisions are compared for what was added, removed or moved, and what that does to the quantities already priced.

Specification conflicts

Clauses are checked against the sheets. A conflict points at both the clause and the drawing that disagree.

Change orders

Each change is traced to the drawing, the contract scope and the quantity that created it, before it is priced.

Every result can be checked.

Quantity

Sheet, element and revision it was measured on.

Conflict

The clause and the drawing that disagree.

Revision

What changed between the two sets, and what it does to price.

Sign-off

The estimator who accepted it before it reached a bid.

Questions

No. Takeoff lands in the schedule and cost codes you already use. The agent reads drawings and writes a draft. Your estimator accepts or corrects each line.
