How Many Costly Bid Errors Are Killing Your Margins Right Now?
During our workshop, a construction CEO discovered he could analyze his past bids against competitors who won—using public DOT records. In 5 minutes, he found $500K-$600K in errors explaining exactly why he'd lost. His reaction: "I could run this competitive analysis on every bid we submit." The question isn't IF you're missing errors. It's HOW MUCH they're costing you.
Every month, your business is hemorrhaging profit through errors you can't see.
The hidden cost most construction companies don't realize:
- Bid mistakes that kill margins before you win the project — specification conflicts, material miscalculations, labor estimate errors
- Process inefficiencies costing 15-20 hours per week per estimator — manual document review, duplicate data entry, proposal assembly
- Change order disputes from unclear scope documentation — ambiguous specifications that turn profitable projects into legal battles
- Missed opportunities because proposal turnaround takes too long — losing bids to competitors who respond faster
Real Breakthrough from Our Workshop:
An hour into the AI Force Multiplier Workshop, a CEO asked: "Could I compare our past bids to competitors who won?"
Using publicly available Department of Transportation bid records, he analyzed a closed project in 5-10 minutes.
What the AI revealed:
- 8 discrepancies flagged between his bid and winning competitors
- 6 verified as errors in his pricing and scope interpretation
- $500K-$600K in line items that made him uncompetitive
- Exact reasons why he lost that specific project
His reaction: "This is why we didn't win. I can see exactly where we went wrong."
The bigger insight: He realized the strategic potential—run this analysis on EVERY bid: Before submission to catch errors. After award to understand why you won or lost. Competitive intelligence that used to require days of manual analysis—demonstrated in 5 minutes.
This isn't a one-time problem. These same error patterns repeat across every project your team bids. How many projects did you quote last year? How much did these invisible errors cost you?
What we identify
Construction-specific errors that are invisible to even experienced estimators: Specification conflicts between drawings and written specs, material cost miscalculations from outdated pricing, labor hour estimates that don't match crew requirements, scope gaps that create change order exposure, and bid assembly errors that put wrong numbers in the final proposal.
What we deliver
Over 25+ AI implementations across construction, professional services, and healthcare, I've identified the exact error patterns that kill project profitability. I don't just show you the errors—I build the AI tools that catch them automatically on every future bid, implement the systems that prevent them, and train your team to use these tools immediately.
Who this is for
Construction companies ($10M-$100M revenue) who are: Bidding multiple projects monthly and can't afford margin-killing errors. Experiencing proposal bottlenecks from manual estimating processes. Facing change order disputes from unclear specifications. Losing bids because turnaround time is too slow.
Start with a Free 30-Minute Bid Error Audit
See exactly what you're missing. No charge, no obligation.
Here's How It Works:
- Bring one recent bid, proposal, or estimate (PDF format preferred)
- We'll analyze it together in real-time (30-minute video call)
- I'll show you exactly what errors exist and what they're costing you
- You'll see which AI tools would catch these automatically on every future project
After seeing what you're missing, you'll know whether the AI Force Multiplier Workshop ($5K-$20K depending on team size) or full implementation engagement makes sense for your business. No pressure, no sales pitch—just clarity on what's actually costing you money.
What you'll discover during your free audit:
- Specific errors in your current bids that are impacting profitability (specification conflicts, cost miscalculations, scope gaps)
- Process inefficiencies your team can't see from inside the operation (manual review bottlenecks, data entry duplication, proposal assembly delays)
- Which AI tools would actually solve YOUR problems (not generic recommendations—tools configured for your specific workflows)
- Estimated ROI of fixing these issues systematically (time savings, error reduction, competitive advantage from faster turnaround)
Most construction companies find $25K-$100K+ in hidden exposure in their first audit.
How This Works: From Free Audit to Systematic Error Prevention
Three pathways depending on what you need.
Path 1: Free Bid Error Audit (30 minutes)
Best for: Construction companies who want to see what they're missing before making any investment.
You get: Real-time analysis of one recent bid, identification of specific errors and cost exposure, overview of which AI tools would prevent these errors, estimated ROI of systematic implementation.
Investment: Free. No obligation.
Path 2: AI Force Multiplier Workshop (4.5 hours)
Best for: Teams of 4-20 people (estimators, project managers, operations leaders) who want working AI tools configured for your workflows.
You get: Hands-on workshop where your team builds custom AI assistants using your actual bid documents, specifications, and project data. Walk away with tools that catch errors automatically, speed up estimating 40%+, and reduce proposal turnaround time by 60-70%.
Investment: Custom pricing based on team size and delivery format. Learn more about the workshop →
Path 3: Full Diagnostic & Implementation (4-8 weeks)
Best for: Companies ready for comprehensive AI implementation across estimating, project management, and operations.
You get: Complete operational diagnostic, AI strategy and technology roadmap, custom tool development and integration, team training and change management, ongoing support and optimization. I map your systems, design the AI architecture, and coordinate specialist teams to implement it.
Investment: Custom scope based on company size and implementation complexity. View full service details →

Track Record: 25+ AI Implementations Across Industries
Proven pattern recognition from Fortune 500 to mid-market construction.
Over 30 years, I've worked with organizations across industries to identify what's broken and design the systems to fix it. In 2024 alone, I completed 25+ AI implementations for construction companies, professional services firms, healthcare operations, and financial advisory practices.

I understand systems, incentives, and how misaligned decisions compound into expensive problems. The pattern is always the same: capable teams working hard on processes that contain invisible errors or inefficiencies. Once we identify what's actually costing you money and implement the tools to fix it, performance becomes natural instead of forced.
Ready to See What You're Missing?
Free 30-minute bid error audit. No charge, no obligation.
Bring one recent bid or estimate. I'll show you exactly what errors exist, what they're costing you, and which AI tools would catch them automatically on every future project.
After your audit, you'll know exactly what's costing you money and what fixing it looks like.
Most construction companies find $200K-$500K+ in hidden exposure in their first review.
Why This Matters Now
Your competitors are already finding these errors. Are you?
The construction companies implementing AI-powered bid review are catching errors their competitors miss, winning more profitable projects because they can respond faster, and building systematic advantages that compound over time.
The question isn't whether to implement AI. The question is: How much longer can you afford to bid projects with error patterns you can't see?
Every project you quote without systematic error detection is a roll of the dice. Sometimes you win despite the errors. Sometimes those errors kill your margins. Sometimes they trigger change order disputes that turn profitable work into legal battles.
The free bid error audit shows you exactly what you're missing—and what fixing it looks like.
