The preconstruction problem
Every GC knows these pain points. Most accept them as the cost of doing business. They don't have to be.
Spreadsheet Chaos
Bids scattered across email, shared drives, and spreadsheets. No single source of truth. Estimators waste hours hunting for the latest numbers.
Scope Gaps at Award
Inclusions and exclusions buried in PDF footnotes. Scope gaps surface as change orders months after the contract is signed.
Procore Data Sits Idle
Commitment data, change orders, and actual costs live in Procore but never feed back to inform future estimates.
4+ Hours per Estimate
Manual data entry, re-keying bid amounts, and side-by-side PDF comparison eat into time that should be spent on strategy.
Everything an estimating team needs
From bid intake to award, PreconIntel replaces spreadsheets, SmartBidNet, and manual processes with AI-powered intelligence.
AI-powered bid parsing
Drop a PDF, spreadsheet, or email attachment. PreconIntel’s AI extracts subcontractor name, bid amount, CSI division, inclusions, exclusions, alternates, and clarifications — in seconds, not hours.
- Multi-format support (PDF, XLS, DOC, email)
- CSI auto-classification to 3-digit divisions
- Side-by-side bid comparison
- Revision tracking with diff highlighting
Benchmarks that compound over time
Every bid you process makes your next estimate smarter. Unit costs normalize across projects, divisions, and time periods to build institutional knowledge your competitors don’t have.
- Division-level cost benchmarks ($/SF, $/LF, $/EA)
- Variance detection against historical data
- Trend analysis across project types
- Regional market intelligence
Your estimate meets reality
Sync projects, vendors, and cost codes from Procore. Pull commitment and change order data to see how estimates compare to actual costs — the feedback loop that closes the gap.
- Bi-directional project & vendor sync
- CSI cost code mapping
- CO data feeds back to benchmarks
- Real-time webhook updates
Know your subs before you award
Build performance profiles from bid history, win rates, CO frequency, and prequalification data. Stop awarding based on lowest price alone.
- Bid history & win/loss tracking per sub
- CO-risk profiling
- Prequalification & insurance tracking
- AI-powered sub discovery from permits
Catch scope gaps before they become change orders
Normalize inclusions and exclusions across bids. Submission gates flag coverage gaps, outliers, and missing divisions before the estimate leaves your desk.
- Scope template library by CSI division
- Automated gap detection
- Submission confidence scoring
- Escalation workflows for exceptions
Dashboards built for estimators, not accountants
See project status, estimator workload, bid coverage, and cost trends in real time. Export to CSV or PDF. Enterprise gets predictive modeling and portfolio analytics.
- Project & estimator dashboards
- Bid volume & coverage analytics
- Estimate accuracy tracking
- Custom report builder
How it works
From Procore connection to data-driven award in three steps.
Connect
Link your Procore account and invite your estimating team. PreconIntel syncs projects, vendors, and cost codes automatically. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
Parse
Forward bid emails or upload documents directly. AI extracts amounts, scope, inclusions, exclusions, and CSI divisions. Review and approve in seconds.
Decide
Compare bids side-by-side with historical benchmarks. Submission gates flag gaps and outliers. Award with confidence backed by data, not gut feel.
“We were spending 4+ hours per estimate just on data entry and bid comparison. PreconIntel cut that to under 30 minutes and caught scope gaps we would have missed.”
