Describe the project
What you’re seeing: Choose one of 27 guided templates.
Why it matters: Start with a structure contractors recognize.
Record the scope
What you’re seeing: Enter manual measurements, choices, assumptions, and confidence.
Why it matters: Make the basis of the planning range visible.
Review readiness
What you’re seeing: Check five readiness items and the low/typical/high reference range.
Why it matters: Know what still needs verification before requesting bids.
Ask Copilot
What you’re seeing: Improve scope or prepare consistent bid-request language.
Why it matters: Catch gaps without changing the deterministic price.
Prepare the packet
What you’re seeing: Build the bid request and track outreach manually.
Why it matters: Give each contractor the same scope and questions; Bid Ready does not send messages.
Compare and decide
What you’re seeing: Normalize quote details, record a selection, export, and back up.
Why it matters: Compare inclusions, timing, warranty, and unanswered questions consistently.
Product proof
What the product looks like in use.
Real current or clearly labeled release-candidate states, using synthetic data.
Define a clearer scope
Turn an early idea into consistent project details.
Separate estimate from bid
Keep the broad reference range distinct from contractor proposals.
Ask every contractor the same questions
Reduce uneven scope and missing details.
Keep the decision record
Print, export CSV, and back up the browser-local project.
AI interface
AI that improves the bid conversation—not the price.
Bid Ready Copilot is optional, review-first, and bounded to four implemented modes.
Improve scope
Clarify wording and flag inconsistent inputs.
The deterministic estimator remains the pricing source of truth. Copilot cannot calculate or change prices, select a contractor, or apply anything without your choice. Address, contact fields, and file contents are excluded; relevant descriptions, notes, bid context, contractor names, totals, and quote details may be sent when Copilot is used.
A better bid conversation starts with a clear estimate boundary.
Browser-local project records
Current beta projects, addresses, contact information, measurements, notes, quotes, and decision state are stored in the browser. Supporting-document contents are not uploaded; only checklist metadata is stored.
Reference range—not a contractor bid
Ranges are broad U.S. beta planning references, not live local prices, quotes, appraisals, inspections, engineering, code or permit determinations, or guarantees. Customers must verify measurements, contractors, insurance, permits, and contract terms.
Questions worth answering before access.
Current behavior and boundaries.
01Is Bid Ready a contractor quote?
No. It provides broad reference planning ranges and scope tools. Contractors determine actual bids.
02Does it contact contractors?
No. It prepares and tracks bid-request information; customers send requests through their preferred channel.
03What does Copilot receive?
Relevant project and quote context only after a request. Address and contact fields are excluded, and supporting-file contents are not uploaded.
04Can I use it on several devices or with a team?
Not currently. The beta is browser-local; account sync and team workspaces are future work.
