Complete Scope of Work for Commercial Construction, From Your Drawings
Folio reads office, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use drawing sets and generates a trade-organized scope of work — so subs price faster and you win more bids.
Commercial deals move fast and drawing sets are dense. Don't lose bid windows to weeks of manual scope extraction and tenant-improvement coordination.
Why scope clarity matters for commercial real estate
Projects in commercial real estate carry drawing sets and specs that are hard to turn into a biddable scope of work fast enough to keep pace with the bid window.
GMP contracts hide scope complexity
Guaranteed Maximum Price contracts with allowances and cost-plus provisions add detail that is easy to miss when writing scope by hand.
Tight bid windows put pressure on the estimate
Commercial deals move fast — every week spent hand-writing scope is a week not spent pricing the job.
Tenant coordination adds complexity
Mixed-use projects involve complex scope allocation between base building and tenant improvements.
Missed scope items create bid risk
A gap in the scope of work means a change order later — or a bid that comes in too low to win the award.

Frequently asked questions
What makes commercial drawing sets hard to scope?
Commercial construction involves multiple stakeholders and delivery methods. GMP contracts with allowances and complex tenant-improvement splits make manual scope extraction slow.

Folio reads your drawing set and writes the scope of work organized by trade — so subs can price faster and you can hit tighter bid windows across office, retail, hospitality, and multifamily projects.
Can I ask Folio questions about a commercial drawing set?
Yes. Drawing Intelligence lets you ask plain-language questions about spec sections, dimensions, or scope by trade and get an answer with a citation to the page it came from.
Does Folio handle base building and tenant improvement scope separately?
