The platform and the team behind your precon

Run it yourself on our AI platform, or hand it to our preconstruction team. Same speed, same accuracy — your choice on every project.

Self-serve

Platform

Self-serve AI — upload your specs and plans, get takeoffs and bids in minutes.

Input

Specification Parsing

Every CSI section, extracted automatically

Upload spec PDFs and PreCal-IQ reads every section — identifying manufacturers, materials, finishes, fire ratings, hardware sets, and CSI codes automatically.

  • Supports 200+ page specification documents
  • Extracts data from all CSI divisions

Plan & Schedule Analysis

Plans and schedules, classified by AI

Upload plans and PreCal-IQ classifies sheets (door schedules, finish schedules, floor plans), extracts schedules, and combines plan data with specs.

  • AI vision reads complex tables and ditto marks
  • Multi-page schedule extraction
Processing

Automated Takeoffs

Detailed takeoffs across 45 CSI categories

Generate detailed takeoffs across 45 CSI categories — from doors, millwork, and flooring to masonry, structural steel, MEP rough-ins, plumbing fixtures, HVAC, fire protection, elevators, food service equipment, and medical equipment.

  • Each category has dedicated AI prompts tuned for construction accuracy
  • Covers ground-up sitework, MEP separation, finishes, specialties, and niche scopes
  • Unmapped CSI codes auto-classify via LLM fallback — no manual mapping needed

Multi-Option Bid Variants

Standard, Premium, and Budget — instantly

Automatically generate Standard, Premium, and Budget options for any takeoff. AI swaps materials and manufacturers while preserving quantities and locations.

  • Compare options side-by-side with instant cost deltas
Collaboration

Vendor Pricing Portal

Collect quotes without the phone tag

Request quotes on any takeoff and route them to multiple vendors at once. Each vendor gets a secure, tokenized link — no account required — to download the Excel, add pricing, and upload back.

  • AI parses vendor pricing and matches it to your takeoff items automatically
  • Accept the winning quote and its pricing flows straight into your bid total

Collaborative Bid Builder

Assemble your bid, track every change

Create bid sessions, select variant options per category, and watch totals update in real-time. Every selection change is logged.

  • Track user, timestamp, and cost impact for every bid modification
Output

Bid Document Generation

Professional proposals, one click

Generate professional PDF bid proposals and Excel workbooks with company branding, scope of work, cost breakdowns, terms, and signature lines.

  • Bid versioning tracks V1, V2, V3 — send directly to clients from PreCal-IQ
  • Every takeoff, variant, and bid package exports to formatted Excel workbooks

Change Order Detection

Spot revisions before they cost you

Upload a revised spec and PreCal-IQ compares it against the original — flagging additions, removals, and modifications with estimated cost impact.

  • Surfaces every takeoff affected by the change with one-click regenerate
  • Choose to keep your manual edits or overwrite from the revised spec
