Problem
Commercial construction estimators spend excessive time manually retyping line items, quantities, and spec callouts from large bid document sets into spreadsheets. This manual process is error-prone, forces estimators to rebuild leveling sheets for every pursuit, and often results in last-minute schedule of values rework that risks bid accuracy and timeliness.
Solution
Pivotly PreCon is an AI-powered preconstruction platform that reads bid documents—including RFPs, plans, and sub bids—and automatically extracts clean, verified data for estimators. The system builds takeoffs, levels subcontractor bids side by side, and surfaces scope gaps before they become costly issues. Every extracted value links back to the exact page and coordinate in the source document, allowing estimators to verify any number with a single click rather than trusting a black box. For broader business needs, Pivotly PreCon Plus connects the estimating workflow to existing ERP, project management, CRM, and document storage systems, creating a unified picture across projects and enabling leadership to answer strategic questions about hit rates, margins, and pipeline performance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial general contractors and construction firms with estimating teams who handle large bid document sets and need to streamline preconstruction workflows while maintaining data accuracy.
