Complete Scope of Work for Infrastructure Projects, From Your Drawings

Folio reads DOT, transit, and public works drawing sets and generates a trade-organized scope of work — so you can bid more of the $1T IIJA pipeline.

With $1 trillion in federal infrastructure investment out to bid, capacity to bid is the bottleneck. Don't lose it to weeks of manual scope extraction.

Why scope clarity matters for infrastructure & public works

Projects in infrastructure & public works 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.

Federal funding compliance adds scope detail

IIJA and other federal funds demand detailed documentation that has to be reflected accurately in the scope of work.

Unit price contracts are tedious to extract

Infrastructure projects often use unit pricing. Building an accurate scope against hundreds of line items by hand is slow.

Multi-year projects compound scope complexity

Long project durations mean the scope has to account for phasing and escalation from the start.

Prevailing wage adds scope requirements

Public works projects require prevailing wage compliance to be reflected across every trade in the scope.

How Folio helps infrastructure & public works teams

Infrastructure projects funded by IIJA mean more public works opportunities than most GC precon teams have capacity to bid.

Folio reads infrastructure and public works drawing sets and writes the scope of work by trade — organized by unit price item and phase, ready for subs to price. Ask Folio about the set with Drawing Intelligence and get an answer with a citation to the page it came from.

Built by a team with deep project controls experience across transportation and public infrastructure capital programs.

Frequently asked questions

How does IIJA funding affect infrastructure bid preparation?

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is deploying over $1 trillion in federal funding, and more projects out to bid means more competition for GC precon teams to keep up with — a faster path from drawings to scope helps you bid more of it.

What makes infrastructure drawing sets hard to scope?

Infrastructure projects involve unit price contracts, prevailing wage requirements, and extensive multi-year scope that spans several phases — all of which is slow to extract by hand.

How does Folio help GCs bidding DOT and public works projects?

Folio reads your drawing set and writes the scope of work organized by unit price item and phase, so your team can price the job faster and bid more public works opportunities.

Can I ask Folio questions about a public works drawing set?

Yes. Drawing Intelligence lets you ask plain-language questions about spec sections, unit price items, or scope by phase and get an answer with a citation to the page it came from.
