Problem
General contractors in preconstruction rely on manual, time-consuming processes for bid management, including chasing subcontractors via email, tracking responses in spreadsheets, and leveling bids by hand. This fragmented coordination consumes estimator hours that should be spent on actual estimating, and manual follow-ups lead to lower subcontractor engagement and missed deadlines.
Solution
Palcode builds AI Workers that automate preconstruction workflows for general contractors, starting with bid management. The platform deploys four specialized AI Workers—SolicitationPal, BidPackagePal, BidLevelingPal, and VendorOnboardingPal—to run the full bid management lifecycle, from subcontractor ITB outreach and scope sheet generation to bid leveling and post-award vendor onboarding. These AI Workers replace email threads, spreadsheets, and phone calls with governed, automated workflows that scale across projects. Palcode connects to existing construction tech stacks including Procore, Google Drive, and Docusign, automating approvals, RFIs, and document workflows without requiring replacement of current tools. The platform enables estimators to focus on estimating rather than coordination, with automated follow-ups and approvals keeping projects moving.
Target Audience
Primary customers are general contractors and preconstruction leaders who need to automate bid management workflows, including senior estimators and preconstruction teams managing multiple projects and subcontractor relationships.
