Before & after

Hours back on every bid package.

Bridgeline replaces manual data entry with a single source of truth. Scope comes straight from your drawings, every sub is leveled side by side, and every number traces back to the document it came from. Nothing gets rebuilt, and nothing slips between award and buyout.

Up to 3 hrs per trade

  • Proposals hand-keyed into leveling sheets
  • Numbers trusted with no way to check the source
  • Leveling quality varies by estimator
  • Scope gaps surface after the contract is signed
  • Project managers inherit scattered files at handover

The workflow

From plans and specs to award-ready contract documents.

One pipeline from owner documents to leveled bids and exportable contract docs, so estimators spend time on analysis, not copy-paste.

01 · Upload plans

Start with the plan set, not a blank scope sheet.

Drop in your drawings and Bridgeline reads the plan set so scope generation starts from what the project actually shows, not a template someone copied three jobs ago.

02 · Upload specs

Specs parsed and tied to the work.

Upload the spec book alongside your plans. Bridgeline pulls division requirements, alternates, and scope language so your bid package reflects the full contract documents.

03 · Scope of work

Upload plans. Get a scope of work, automatically.

Bridgeline reads your drawings and generates a trade-by-trade scope of work, no blank sheets, no retyping line items by hand. Review it next to the plans, edit in the grid, then export to Excel or drop it straight into your bid package.

04 · Bid leveling

Level every sub against the scope you built.

Upload subcontractor proposals in any format. Bridgeline extracts pricing, inclusions, exclusions, and scope notes, then compares every bidder apples-to-apples against your scope of work. Track every package from setup through award in one project dashboard.

05 · Contract export

Award-ready documents, not another rebuild.

Export an editable Word document your team can drop into the trade-specific contract, plus scope summaries and award-ready packages. Everything your team validated flows straight into the docs you need at award.
