What it doesPreconstruction workspace for general contractors combining CRM, estimating, bidding, forecasting and workforce planning, with an AI preconstruction agent called Kit. Vendor says the bidding module manages invitations, coverage and leveling in one place so scope gaps and exclusions get caught, and that approved budget lines can be turned into bid packages and bids compared for gaps, risks and alternates. Kit is described as reading an RFP and creating contacts, searching past estimates (e.g., what you priced healthcare work at per square foot), turning budgets and spreadsheets into a structured estimate, assembling proposals, and checking staffing capacity. Customer quote about 3-4x monthly pursuits is vendor-published.Subcontractor and trade-package procurement software for main contractors: procurement schedule, scope-of-works library, tenders and price breakdowns, compare-and-recommend vendor selection, contracts with eSignature, vendor management, lessons learnt and analytics. AI modules listed are BidLevel (AI bid leveling that reads supplier quotes in PDF or Excel, builds a breakdown, and pulls out pricing, inclusions and exclusions with each value traceable to the source PDF; vendor says in as fast as 3 minutes), AI Pricing Library (AI search across historical quotes and trade packages for rate benchmarks), AI Pulse (procurement assistant) and AI Estimating Handover. BidLevel now also has its own site (bidlevel.ai), which lists a four-step flow (set breakdown, extract automatically, review & adjust with tracked changes, compare and export to Excel) and counters of 200,377 scope line items extracted and 4,360 bids made comparable (vendor claims, Oct 16, 2026). BidLevel's FAQ says it is a first-pass tool that requires human judgement and that customer data is not used to train public AI models. Integrations listed include Procore, Aconex, DocuSign, Microsoft Entra, Power BI, Viewpoint Jobpac and Cheops. Vendor says it is trusted by contractors on $100+ billion in projects (vendor claim).
