Use AI to create a detailed pre-bid walkthrough guide that helps you catch site issues before pricing.

Before pricing a new project or inviting subcontractor bids, you need to walk the site with sharp eyes. But it's easy to miss critical details that later become costly surprises — existing conditions, access constraints, utility conflicts, or demolition scope that wasn't obvious in the drawings. An AI-powered walkthrough guide gives you a comprehensive, organized checklist tailored to your specific project type and site conditions, so you spot problems early and price accurately. Feed AI your project basics — building type, scope summary, site address or conditions, and any concerns from the drawings — and ask it to generate a detailed walkthrough observation guide. It'll create categories like site access, existing utilities, demolition needs, material staging areas, neighbor considerations, and hidden conditions to document. You can print it, load it on your phone, and methodically work through it on-site, taking photos and notes for each item. This prep prevents the classic scenario where you price a job based on drawings, then discover during construction that there's no crane access, the existing slab is cracked, or there's an unmarked gas line exactly where you planned to dig. Walking in with a structured guide means better bids, fewer surprises, and stronger relationships with owners and subs who see you caught what others missed.
