BidEyes acts as a second set of eyes for estimators. It reviews ITBs, drawings, specifications, addenda, and alternates to surface bid risks, contradictions, and missing requirements before a bid goes out.
Built for commercial electrical estimators and preconstruction teams.
Commercial electrical estimators work under real pressure. Thorough document review competes with takeoff and pricing time — and review almost always loses.
A single commercial bid can span hundreds of pages across drawings, specs, addenda, alternates, and supplemental documents. Reading everything is not a realistic option.
Specs say one thing. Drawings say another. Addenda change something that wasn't updated elsewhere. These contradictions surface as disputes — or worse, unbilled work — after award.
Vague interface language, undefined responsibilities between divisions, and unlisted equipment leave estimators guessing — and often underbidding work they'll be held to.
Addenda arrive after most of the estimate is built. A missed panel schedule revision or scope clarification can shift the job significantly and go unpriced.
Estimators are managing several active bids simultaneously. There's no slack in the schedule for a second, methodical pass through every document in a package.
A single missed requirement — a fire alarm interface, a temporary power obligation, an undefined commissioning scope — can cost more to address post-award than it would have cost to price correctly.
Reads across your full document set — not one file at a time — to surface inconsistencies that a single-document read would miss.
Understands Division 26 language, NEC requirements, switchgear, panel schedules, conduit systems, and bid document conventions.
Findings organized by type and severity — not buried in a wall of text. Each entry tells you what was found, where, and why it matters.
Designed for estimators who are already short on time. Integrates naturally without requiring a new, complex workflow.
BidEyes is purpose-built for commercial electrical contractors. Before a bid goes out, it works through your document package and surfaces the things that matter — the risks you didn't have time to find, the spec-drawing conflict buried on page 47, the addendum change that just shifted your scope.
Six categories of issues that most often create bid risk, scope disputes, or unbilled work on commercial electrical projects.
Liquidated damages, broad indemnification, undefined scope ownership, or one-sided responsibility transfer — conditions that create financial exposure before you've even started the job.
Conflicts between specifications, drawings, addenda, and the ITB — wire sizes, equipment ratings, installation methods, or scope boundaries that don't agree across documents.
Referenced work that isn't fully specified: commissioning, spare parts, submittals, testing and inspection, temporary power, startup services — scope that exists in the documents but not in the spec.
Interface work between divisions, unassigned coordination responsibilities, and equipment furnished by others with no installation scope defined — the grey areas estimators have to guess at.
Ambiguities, major addenda changes, complex notes, or unusual material requirements that warrant an estimator's direct attention, judgment, and manual review.
Design gaps, unresolved coordination issues, and ambiguities where a clarification before submission reduces your risk — identified and ready to issue before the bid goes out.
Four steps. Fits into your existing bid process without adding a new tool to learn or a new workflow to manage.
Send your full bid package — ITB, drawings, specs, addenda, alternates — directly to BidEyes.
BidEyes reads across your complete document set, cross-referencing every document against every other.
You receive a structured findings report organized by risk type — bid risks, contradictions, gaps, items to investigate, potential RFIs.
Issue RFIs, adjust pricing, clarify exclusions, or walk with confidence. Better information, better decisions.
BidEyes is purpose-built for the people who live in bid documents. If you're estimating commercial electrical work — ground-up, tenant improvement, healthcare, industrial, or design-build — this is built for your risk and your workflow.
Managing multiple active bids, responsible for accuracy and completeness on every package that goes out.
Overseeing bid quality and risk exposure across the full project pipeline, not just individual bids.
Commercial, industrial, and specialty contractors bidding competitively where a missed item is a real problem.
Send us a real bid document set and we'll run a sample review — no commitment, no sales call required. Just a clearer picture of what's in the documents before you submit.
