Stop Reading Plans. Start Winning Bids with Construction Estimating Automation
Your estimators are wasting half their day manually reading RFPs and counting specs.
Pivotly uses AI for preconstruction to automate data extraction from Blueprints, Addendums, and Bid Invites so your team can focus on pricing the job and winning the work.
The Problem:
You’re Paying Your Best Estimators to be Data Clerks
Good estimators are hard to find and expensive to keep. So why are they spending 40% of their time acting as "Human Middleware"?
Every new Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation to Bid (ITB) triggers hours of manual drudgery: reading through hundreds of pages of specs, copying line items into spreadsheets, and hunting for hidden requirements.
- The Volume Cap: You can’t bid on more projects because your team is buried in paperwork.
- The "Missed Scope" Risk: A missed spec or a transposed number loses bids and wipes profit margins
- The "Addendum" Chaos: When changes arrive 2 hours before the deadline, manual updates are impossible.
The Fix:
Turn RFPs into Estimates. Automatically.
#1 Ingest and Audit:
Pivotly monitors your bid inbox or portal. We act as your intelligent RFP parsing software, ingesting the full bid package, RFPs, Blueprints (PDF), Spec Books, and Addendums, instantly
#2 Humans Review and Approve:
Our blueprint takeoff automation engine extracts the critical data that matters to your trade. Instead of manual counting, the AI instantly pulls material counts and linear footage, identifies specific material grades or certifications within the specs, and captures essential project details.
#3 Human Estimator Verification:
Your Senior Estimator reviews the extracted data in a simple dashboard. They validate the scope, spot-check the AI’s work, and apply their judgment. The AI does the grunt work; the Estimator provides the expertise.
#4 Sync to Bid:
The verified data is pushed directly into your Estimating Software, ERP, or Excel bid sheet. You are ready to apply pricing and hit send.
Construction-Grade AI
Built for the Chaos of Construction
We Read "Messy"
Construction documents are messy. Scanned blueprints, handwritten notes, and massive 500-page PDFs. Generic AI chokes on this. Pivotly provides true construction estimating automation engineered to handle heavy, complex construction files.
Operational Foundation
A bid isn’t just a document; it’s the start of a project. Pivotly creates a Governed Record of the bid. If you win, this data flows seamlessly into Project Management, creating a single source of truth from day one.
Version Control Built-In
When “Revised Plans” or Addendums arrive mid-bid, Pivotly compares the new set against the old set instantly. We flag exactly what changed so you never accidentally bid on outdated info or miss a critical scope adjustment that could hurt your margin.
