Struggles with Public Works Scale
The firm had no consistent way to track or govern bidder pricing across multiple projects, which created margin risk and made it difficult to stay competitive without undercutting profitability. Estimators operated in silos, relying on past experience instead of data and centralized pricing intelligence. On top of that, public works submissions demanded flawless compliance with strict contract language, scope definitions, and documentation. The team often discovered errors late in the process, forcing rework or leading to disqualified bids. Without AI to review contract terms and validate every requirement, they lacked confidence that proposals were complete and fully compliant, holding them back from pursuing the most valuable municipal projects.
