Solutions / General Contractors
Drawings to a number takes weeks. Most of it is data entry.
The set arrives, someone reads it by hand, the scope gets written from memory, the quantities go in one file and the prices in another, and the sub proposals get retyped into a leveling sheet. The judgment that wins the bid gets whatever time is left. Folio does the reading, writing and retyping so the team spends its time on the number.
Preconstruction and estimating teams at general contractors.
The workflow
From the set to the number, in order.
- 01Drawing Intelligence
Drawing Intelligence
Upload the set. Folio indexes it by sheet, discipline and CSI division, pulls the notes into one library, and answers questions with a citation to the page.
- 02Scope Breakdown
Scope Breakdown
Folio writes the scope of work by trade and CSI division from the indexed set, so subs can price it and the estimate can be built on it.
- 03Takeoff
TakeoffComing soon
Coming soon. Quantities from the drawings, tied to the scope lines they belong to.
- 04Estimate
Estimate
The scope priced with your own unit prices. Web price lookup fills the gaps until your prices are in.
- 05Bid Leveling
Bid Leveling
Build packages from the scope, invite subs to a portal, let Folio parse their proposals, level them on one grid, and flow the award into the estimate.
- 06Risk Review
Risk Review
A risk register built from the drawings, each item linked to its source sheet, reviewed before the number goes out.
- 07Pipeline
Pipeline
Every pursuit by stage. Stages update as the drawings, scope and bid packages progress.
