Construction estimators spend more time reading bid packages than pricing them. That seemed wrong to me. Not inefficient in a vague business sense — just actually wrong. Someone has to read 400 pages of specs and drawings before they can price a single thing, and if they miss something buried in Division 00 or catch an addendum a day late, it costs them real money. The answer to that was pretty obvious. Read the documents for them.
NIX reads the complete bid package — plans, specs, addenda, everything — and gives back twelve cited outputs in about an hour. Every finding linked to the exact page it came from. The estimator still makes every decision. We just did the reading.
We built it, we tested it on real packages, and we put the actual output on the website so you can see exactly what it produces before committing to anything. That felt more honest than a demo that only shows you the good parts.
Demo is at nix.natex.ai. Happy to answer questions about how it works.
Have you considered adding a takeoff quantity check that flags scope items mentioned in the specs but missing from the drawings? Would save my estimators from catching those gaps the hard way during review.
Honestly the addenda delta and exclusions pieces are huge for electrical subs who get buried in spec changes last minute. One thing that would be a lifesaver is a takeoff quantity check, basically cross referencing the material callouts in the specs against what your scope summary pulls so you catch anything that got missed before you submit. Would save a lot of callbacks.
Would love to see a takeoff tie-in where NIX can pull quantities directly from the plan set and flag scope gaps against the spec. Right now the outputs are great for understanding what to bid, but a rough material count per CSI division would make the proposal draft way more grounded before my estimators get to it.
