The Product

From plans and specs to award decision.

Upload your plan set and spec book, generate a trade-by-trade scope of work, level every sub against it, and export contract-ready documents, all in one AI-powered workflow built for general contractors.

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.

Inside bid leveling

Once your scope is set and subs are in, Bridgeline handles the full leveling workflow:

Pricing leveling

Every line item, every sub, side by side.

Bridgeline normalizes base bids and alternates across every proposal so you can compare apples to apples. Accepted alternates with adjusted quantities are highlighted in green; plug values awaiting estimator confirmation show in blue. So nothing gets awarded on a number nobody owns.

Inclusions & exclusions

See exactly what's in (and what isn't).

Bridgeline maps every inclusion, exclusion, and scope note across subs in a clean comparison matrix. Spot the gaps before they become change orders.

AI action items

Scope gaps and follow-ups, surfaced automatically.

Bridgeline reads every proposal side by side and calls out the differences. Who's including BIM, who's excluding water softeners, who's silent on sales tax. Each gap comes with a suggested follow-up question, so estimators walk into scoping calls knowing exactly what to confirm.

05 · Contract export

Award-ready documents, not another rebuild.

  • Editable Word docs for trade-specific contracts
  • Scope-of-work summaries by trade
  • Award-ready contract document packages
