Use AI to draft a structured pre-bid walkthrough summary for subs before they quote your job.
Before subs can give you accurate pricing, they need clear info about the site and scope. Instead of writing the same walkthrough details from scratch each time, let AI organize your observations into a clean summary document that answers their questions upfront. This cuts down on follow-up calls, reduces bid surprises, and helps you get more accurate quotes. Just tell AI what you saw on the walkthrough — access issues, existing conditions, utilities, any surprises — and it'll format it into a professional summary you can email to everyone bidding. You'll walk into bid reviews with fewer surprises and more confidence that subs actually understood the job.

“I need to write a pre-bid walkthrough summary for subcontractors quoting a commercial interior renovation. The site has limited parking (street only), no loading dock, existing HVAC system is 15 years old and may need retrofitting, drywall has some water damage in northwest corner, electrical panel is at capacity, and there's an active tenant on the second floor. Write a clear summary document I can send to subs so they understand site conditions before quoting.”
