The AI-native Construction Platform
From pursuit to closeout — one platform. Built for GCs who want to win more and deliver with less friction.
Pursuit, preconstruction, job cost, and schedule in one place. Accurate estimates and workflows customized to how your team bids — not a one-size-fits-all formula. Built by construction professionals who've managed $1B+ in capital programs.

What Folio does for your precon team
One platform. Every step from drawings to bid — tailored to your process.
Scope Extraction
AI reads your drawing sets and extracts quantities, specs, and scope items automatically. No manual takeoff.
Cost Estimation
Generate detailed cost estimates using your historical project data and regional cost databases. Not a black box — fully transparent math.
Bid / No-Bid Analysis
Score opportunities against your win criteria — capacity, margins, geography, client history — before you invest precon hours.
Historical Comparables
Pull cost data from your past projects to benchmark estimates. The more you bid, the smarter Folio gets.
Custom Workflows
Folio adapts to YOUR estimation process, YOUR markup rules, YOUR approval chain. Not the other way around.
Team Collaboration
Estimators, PMs, and BD work from one source of truth. No more spreadsheet versions flying around.
