AI Bid & Estimation
An estimating assistant that reads drawings and specs, produces grounded takeoffs and cost estimates, and flags risk before you commit a bid.
Estimating is labor-intensive and inconsistent, and a missed scope item turns a winning bid into a loss. arosplatforms builds a bid and estimation assistant grounded in your drawings, specs, historical costs, and subcontractor data, deployed in your cloud and owned by you. It extracts quantities, builds line-item estimates from your cost database, and flags scope gaps and risk items for an estimator to confirm. Because a bid is a binding commitment, every quantity and price traces to its source, and an estimator signs off before anything goes out the door.
We ingest drawings, specifications, and your historical cost and productivity data into a structured estimating knowledge base.
The assistant performs quantity takeoffs from the documents and builds line-item estimates priced from your cost database.
It flags scope gaps, ambiguous specs, and high-risk items, each linked to the source drawing or spec section.
Estimators review, adjust, and approve every figure before the bid is finalized, with a full trail retained.
What it does
Document Takeoff
The assistant extracts quantities directly from drawings and specs with traceable references. Estimators stop counting by hand across hundreds of sheets.
Cost Database Pricing
Line items are priced from your own historical costs and productivity rates, not generic benchmarks. Estimates reflect how your firm actually builds.
Scope Gap Detection
The system flags missing scope, conflicting specs, and ambiguous requirements before submission. Costly omissions surface during estimating, not during the project.
Estimator Sign-Off
Every quantity and price is reviewed and approved by an estimator before the bid goes out. Binding commitments stay under human control.
Owned And Traceable
Runs in your cloud on your proprietary cost data with each figure traced to source. Your competitive cost intelligence never leaves your environment.
Estimating teams cut takeoff and pricing time by 40 to 60 percent and catch more scope gaps before submission, protecting bid margins.
Questions, answered
Quantities are extracted with references back to the source drawings, and pricing comes from your own historical cost data. Every figure is reviewed and approved by an estimator before a bid is submitted, so accuracy stays under your control.
Yes. The assistant runs in your own cloud and is owned by you. Your cost database, productivity rates, and bid history never leave your environment.
No. It builds the takeoff and estimate and flags risks, but an estimator reviews and approves every line before the bid is finalized. A binding commitment always has a human behind it.
