Custom Company AI Agent

We map your workflow, configure your company knowledge, templates, controls, and approval logic, then deploy an agent your team can use for defined business processes. Lead intelligence and estimating capabilities can be integrated when required.

Final implementation and recurring pricing depend on integrations, users, data sources, security, and workflow scope.

Each offer produces usable construction work product—not a dashboard your team has to interpret alone.

years of field, electrical, mission-critical, commissioning, and preconstruction perspective behind the operating model.

Built from construction operations

Field-informed AI—not generic software wearing a hard hat.

BidForge is shaped by real estimating, electrical, mission-critical, OFCI, commissioning, energization, and operations-handoff experience. The goal is practical leverage: better-fit pursuits, more controlled pricing, and clearer transfer of risk and scope into execution.

Commercial FAQ

Clear terms before commitment.

Is BidForge software or a managed service?

It can be either. Lead Intelligence is a recurring subscription. Estimating and takeoffs are managed, project-scoped services. The Custom Company AI Agent is a configured implementation for your organization.

What makes the custom agent specific to our company?

Its instructions, workflows, knowledge sources, templates, approval gates, user roles, and outputs are configured around your organization. Scope and access are established during discovery and validation.

Does AI make the final estimating decision?

No. BidForge accelerates research, document analysis, estimate structure, and workflow steps. Qualified people retain authority for quantities, pricing, commercial risk, and bid submission.

How does the 2% success fee work?

It applies only to qualifying estimating work that is awarded, subject to the signed customer agreement. The agreement defines attribution, reporting, exclusions, invoicing, and payment timing.

Can you work with our existing tools?

Yes, when included in scope. The custom-agent discovery process identifies required systems, supported integration methods, data permissions, and the safest deployment path.

Can we start with one service and expand?

Yes. Many contractors can begin with lead intelligence or one estimating engagement, then add a company-specific agent after the workflow and ROI are proven.

Ready for your next project?

Start with qualified leads, add estimating capacity, or deploy an AI agent designed exclusively around your company's knowledge and workflow.
