Our Approach

From drawings to estimate in minutes, not weeks

Upload your drawing set. folio extracts scope, quantities, and specs automatically — then generates a cost estimate built on your historical data and markup rules. Your process, accelerated.

Intelligence

Every number traceable back to its source

No black boxes. folio's AI shows its work — every cost line traces back to your historical projects, regional benchmarks, or contract terms. Fully auditable, fully yours.

The Problem

70% of GC capacity wasted on bids they won't win

Precon teams spend 3–4 weeks getting from drawings to a number. By then, they've passed on other work they could have won. The bottleneck isn't capacity to build — it's capacity to bid.
