Curated stack
The Preconstruction Stack for a Mid-Size GC
General contractors bidding $5M-100M projects
Precon is where a GC's year is won or lost, and it's the most AI-mature corner of construction. This stack automates the mechanical work (takeoff), catches document risk before it prices in (drawing review), organizes the bid, and stress-tests the schedule before commitment.
Takeoff & estimating
Computer-vision takeoff cuts days of measurement to hours of verification.
Drawing risk review
A third of RFIs are preventable document issues — find them before bid day, not in the field.
Bid management
AI agents on the bid-leveling and sub-coverage busywork.
Schedule confidence
Grade schedule quality, explore sequences, and forecast delay risk before the schedule becomes a contract exhibit.
SmartPM
Turns raw CPM schedules into automated analytics: delay analysis, compression, quality scores and executive dashboards.

nPlan
Machine learning trained on hundreds of thousands of historical schedules forecasts delay risk on your programme and shows where to act.
Field notes
- Pilot takeoff and drawing review on a project you already bid — comparing against a known answer key is the fastest honest evaluation.
- Run your RFI exposure through our free calculator to size the drawing-review ROI.
