Why BidNotes
Built for the way estimators actually review a bid.
Clarity
Make complex documents easier to act on. Notes are short, plain and grouped by what they affect.
Traceability
Source-backed notes you can review. Each one points to the document and page it came from.
Control
Your estimator decides. Nothing reaches the export until someone on your team approves it.
Efficiency
Find requirements before they become surprises, without reading every page twice.
Estimator in the loop
AI that reads ahead. People who decide.
BidNotes does the first pass through the package so your estimators can spend their judgment where it counts. It suggests; your team reviews, verifies and owns the result.
- Every note cites its source document and page.
- Edit, approve or set aside each note before export.
- Only approved notes go into the Word document.

Who it’s for
For the people who carry the bid.
BidNotes was first tuned alongside a structural steel erector’s bid workflow, and is built to extend to other trades.

Preconstruction teams
Share one reviewed set of notes across the bid, so handoffs to project management start from the same facts.
