Bids priced the way your own estimators price them, from your own cost records and rules, including the ones nobody wrote down, with every judgment call left with an estimator.

Our engineers sit with your estimators and record how a bid is actually priced: the cost records they trust, the rates they adjust, and the rules held only by the person who has done the work longest. Before anything is built, that becomes a written blueprint your team reviews and signs off.
Example request
Price the east wing package from the drawings and our cost history. Use last year's steel rates adjusted for this quarter, and flag every line where our usual allowance does not apply.
The system prepares the estimate from your records and rules, with the working attached to every line. Estimators can question any figure, change an allowance or reprice a package before anything leaves the desk. This is where the judgment stays: with the people who sign the bid.
Example request
Why is the concrete allowance higher than on the riverside job? Use our own rate for the formwork instead, and keep the contingency at the level the director approved for this client.
Once the approach is agreed, the system prices each package in parallel: one on structure, one on services, one on finishes. Your estimators stay on the decisions that need them while the rest of the work moves, and every package is checked against the blueprint before it joins the bid.
Example request
Looks right. Price the remaining packages the same way and flag anything outside our usual range.
When the estimate is complete, the director reviews the whole bid in one place. The system sets it against the blueprint and earlier bids, flags anything that drifted from the agreed approach, and nothing is submitted until a person signs it.
