Find the errors killing your margins. Then fix them systematically.
Most construction companies are hemorrhaging profit through bid errors they can't see: specification conflicts, material miscalculations, labor estimate errors, and scope gaps that trigger change orders.
During our workshop, a CEO discovered he could analyze his bids against competitors using public DOT records. In 5 minutes, he found $500K-$600K in errors explaining why he'd lost projects. His reaction: "I could run this competitive analysis on every bid we submit."
I help construction companies discover these capabilities—build AI tools that catch errors before submission and analyze why you win or lose after award. Competitive intelligence that used to take days now takes minutes.
Free 30-Minute Bid Error Audit
See exactly what you're missing. No charge, no obligation.
Before you invest in any AI tools or consulting services, see the actual errors in your current bids. Bring one recent proposal or estimate. I'll analyze it in real-time and show you exactly what's costing you money.
What You Get
- Real-time error analysis of one recent bid, proposal, or estimate (30-minute video call)
- Specific identification of specification conflicts, cost miscalculations, labor estimate errors, and scope gaps
- Cost exposure quantification — exactly how much these errors could impact project profitability
- AI tool recommendations configured for YOUR workflows (not generic software suggestions)
- ROI estimation of implementing systematic error detection across all future bids
- Clear next steps — whether the workshop, full implementation, or doing nothing makes sense for your business
How It Works
Step 1: Book a 30-minute video call using the contact form
Step 2: Send me one recent bid or estimate (PDF format, any project size)
Step 3: We'll review it together in real-time—I'll show you exactly what errors exist
Step 4: You'll see which AI tools would catch these automatically on every future project
After your audit, you'll know exactly what's costing you money and what fixing it looks like. No pressure, no sales pitch—just clarity on whether AI implementation makes sense for your operation.
Who This Is For
Construction companies ($10M-$100M revenue) who:
- Quote multiple projects per month and can't afford margin-killing errors
- Want to see proof AI can catch real errors in THEIR bids (not theoretical examples)
- Are considering AI implementation but need to validate ROI first
- Want clarity on which tools would actually solve their specific problems
Real Results from Our Workshops
US-Based General Contractor (DOT Projects):
During our workshop, the CEO had a breakthrough: "Could I compare our bid to the competitors who won?"
Using public DOT bid records, we analyzed a closed project in 5-10 minutes:
- ✗ 8 discrepancies flagged between his bid and winning competitors
- ✓ 6 verified as significant errors in his pricing/scope
- 💰 $500K-$600K in line items priced out of competitive range
- 🎯 Clear understanding of exactly why they lost
"This changed how we approach every bid. I can see why we win and why we lose."
"Most construction companies discover $200K-$500K+ in strategic insights during workshops—not just error detection, but understanding competitive positioning and win/loss patterns."
What Happens After Your Audit
After seeing what you're missing, most companies either:
- Book the AI Force Multiplier Workshop (if they want their team to build working error-detection tools immediately)
- Engage for full diagnostic and implementation (if they want comprehensive AI deployment across estimating and operations)
- Do nothing yet (and that's completely fine—the audit gives you the information to decide when timing is right)

Real Workshop Results
US-Based Construction Company (DOT Bidding):
An hour into the workshop, the CEO stopped mid-exercise: "Wait—could I pull down our past DOT bids and compare them to winners?"
What happened next:
- Downloaded closed bid records (public information)
- Built AI agent to analyze his bid vs. competitors
- 5-10 minutes to complete analysis
- Found 6 verified errors totaling $500K-$600K
- Understood exactly why they lost that specific project
His immediate reaction: "I could run every bid through this before we submit."
The strategic value discovered: Not just error detection—competitive intelligence. See exactly where you're high/low vs. winners. Understand what makes your bids competitive. Know precisely why you get awards or lose projects. What used to take days of manual spreadsheet analysis now takes 5 minutes with AI.

Full Diagnostic & AI Implementation
4-8 week comprehensive engagement: From error identification to systematic prevention
When you need complete AI implementation across estimating, project management, and operations—this is the engagement that maps your entire system, identifies highest-value opportunities, builds custom tools, and deploys them with full training and support.
What You Get
- Complete operational diagnostic — mapping your estimating workflows, bid processes, project documentation, and quality control procedures
- Error pattern analysis — identifying where costly mistakes are occurring systematically across your bids
- AI strategy and technology roadmap — which tools to deploy in which sequence for fastest ROI
- Custom AI assistant development — tools configured specifically for your workflows, document templates, and business rules
- Integration architecture — connecting AI tools to your existing estimating software, project management systems, and document repositories
- Team training and change management — ensuring your estimators and project managers actually use these tools effectively
- Implementation support — I coordinate specialist teams (automation engineers, integration developers) so you don't have to manage technical execution
- Ongoing optimization — 90-day post-implementation support to refine tools based on real-world usage
How It Works
Weeks 1-2: Discovery and diagnostic — interviews with estimators, project managers, operations leaders; analysis of recent bids and error patterns; workflow mapping and bottleneck identification
Weeks 3-4: Strategy and architecture design — AI tool selection and configuration; integration planning; ROI modeling and prioritization
Weeks 5-6: Tool development and testing — building custom AI assistants; testing on real bid documents; refining prompts and workflows
Weeks 7-8: Deployment and training — rolling out tools to estimating team; hands-on training sessions; documentation and support systems
You own all tools, prompts, and documentation. Can operate independently after implementation or retain me for ongoing optimization and strategic guidance.
Who This Is For
Construction companies ($20M-$100M revenue) who are ready for comprehensive AI deployment and need:
- Systematic error detection across ALL bids (not just occasional spot-checks)
- Estimating process acceleration to win more bids through faster turnaround
- Change order risk reduction through better specification analysis
- Competitive advantage from AI capabilities competitors don't have
- Someone to orchestrate the entire implementation (strategy + specialists + training) so internal team can stay focused on bidding work
Typical ROI
Construction companies implementing AI-powered bid review typically see:
- Error reduction: 60-80% decrease in specification conflicts and cost miscalculations that trigger change orders or margin erosion
- Time savings: 40-50% reduction in estimating hours per bid (from 40 hours to 20-24 hours for similar scope)
- Proposal velocity: 60-70% faster turnaround from RFP receipt to submitted bid
- Win rate improvement: 15-25% increase in awards from ability to respond to more opportunities and submit higher-quality bids faster
- Margin protection: $50K-$200K+ in avoided change order disputes and error-related profit erosion annually
Most implementations pay for themselves in 3-6 months through combination of error elimination and estimating efficiency gains.
What Makes This Different
I'm not a software vendor trying to sell you tools. I'm not a training company teaching you about AI in theory. I'm the architect who designs your AI system and the general contractor who coordinates specialists to build it.
You get strategy (which tools solve which problems), execution (specialists who implement the technical components), and training (your team can use these tools immediately). You don't have to figure out who does what or manage multiple vendors.
After 25+ AI implementations across construction, professional services, and healthcare, I know which tools actually work, which integrations create value vs. complexity, and how to deploy AI so teams actually use it instead of abandoning it after 90 days.

Experience That Matters for Construction AI Implementation
I've completed 25+ AI implementations in 2024 across construction, professional services, and healthcare. I've guided strategic decisions at Fortune 500 companies (AIG, PepsiCo, Shell), government agencies (US Air Force, US Fish & Wildlife), and scaled 37 Microsoft partner organizations from $20M to $120M collective revenue over 4 years.
For construction specifically: I understand estimating workflows, bid document structures, specification conflicts, change order dynamics, and the operational realities of running profitable projects. I know which AI tools actually work for construction vs. which ones are impressive demos that fail in production.
I've worked across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, applying diagnostic methodology to organizational dysfunction, technology investments, and operational transformation. I understand systems, incentives, and how misaligned decisions compound into expensive problems.
