Document QA for Construction Bids
A tool that checks bid packets, scopes, and subcontractor docs for missing items before proposals are submitted.
The problem
Bid packages are error-prone, and teams lose time chasing missing documents, spec sheets, and compliance attachments before submission.
Proposed solution
Create a bid checklist engine that extracts required documents from a packet, compares them to a submission folder, and flags missing or inconsistent items.
Target audience
Construction estimators, project coordinators, and small GC offices
