Scope Summary

Trade-specific checklist across plans, specs, and bid instructions.

RFI Candidates

Draft questions for missing, conflicting, or ambiguous requirements.

Risk Flags

Late addenda, bid-form issues, exclusions, alternates, and document gaps.

Narrow Wedge

Commercial subs bidding recurring PDF-heavy packages.

Human Reviewed

AI-assisted drafts stay behind estimator judgment and QA.

Fast Validation

Built to sell paid pilots before heavy product investment.

Pilot Intake

Submit a bid package for review.

This MVP simulates the concierge workflow. In production, the same intake would notify the operator, store files, run extraction, and queue the bid package for human QA.

Scope Summary
  • Primary review path set for Electrical scope across plans, specs, addenda, and bid instructions.
  • lighting controls and switchgear should be checked against schedules, details, and spec sections before pricing is locked.
  • Bid form was not detected in uploaded file names; request or locate it before finalizing the proposal.
  • No estimator notes provided yet; add known assumptions, vendor dependencies, and open questions before review.
Bid-Day Checklist
  • Confirm bid form, alternates, allowances, unit prices, and addenda acknowledgment.
  • Review relevant spec divisions against drawing schedules and notes.
  • Send RFI candidates before the GC cutoff.
  • Collect vendor quotes and qualify lead times.
  • Run final exclusions/clarifications review with estimator before submission.
RFI Candidates
  • Clarify whether temporary power is included in base bid or carried as an alternate.
  • Confirm responsibility boundaries for low-voltage exclusions where plans and specifications do not align.
  • Ask whether any addenda have been issued since the bid package was received.
  • Request clarification for any scope shown on drawings but missing from the relevant spec section.

  • Exclude permit fees, utility company charges, premium time, and design/engineering unless documents require inclusion.
  • Clarify assumptions around lighting controls, temporary power, and field coordination with adjacent trades.
