AI for Estimation & Scope Development
Estimating complex jobs is error-prone. Underbidding destroys margins; overbidding loses jobs to competitors.
How AI Helps
Upload RFQs and historical pricing to generate accurate estimates and comprehensive scope outlines.
- Requirement analysis: Reads project requirements to identify all necessary tasks
- Historical benchmarking: Compares to similar past projects to predict realistic costs and timelines
- Risk identification: Flags potential complications that could blow the budget
Pain Points This Solves
Different pains, tailored solutions.
Money leaking
Stop underbidding jobs that destroy your margins
Estimation errors and unclear requirements mean you either lose money on jobs or lose bids to competitors. Scope creep and missing inclusions surface after you're committed turning profitable work into margin-destroying lessons.
Can't keep up
Respond to RFPs faster without sacrificing accuracy
Creating comprehensive estimates takes days. By the time you respond opportunities have moved on.
Inconsistent quality
Estimate with the consistency of your best estimator
Estimate quality depends entirely on who does it. Some people always nail it while others leave money on the table.
Implementation Tiers
Choose the level that matches your readiness and ambition.
Upload RFQ and project requirements to AI Chatbot (ChatGPT, Claude) or analyze in Excel with Copilot. Generate initial cost estimates and scope outlines based on your historical pricing inputs.
Deploy Estimation Software integrated with vendor pricing databases, or Power BI/Excel with automated data connections. Auto-generates detailed quotes from standardized templates.
Train an estimation engine on your actual job history—your subcontractors, your materials costs, your scope creep patterns. No competitor can buy this level of accuracy off the shelf.
