The opening read on every project

Find the gaps
before they find you.

Callout reads every drawing and spec in your bid set, flags what's missing, unclear, or off-code, and turns the result into trade-by-trade bid forms. So what you send out reflects what the architect actually drew — not what your sub assumed.

The Problem

Estimating at this level is
breaking your business.

01 / PROBLEM

Bid forms built from scratch every time

Your PM spends 40+ hours building trade-specific bid forms for every new project. That's time not spent managing construction — and scope gets missed every time.

02 / PROBLEM

Code issues found during inspection, not bidding

A garbage disposal on a septic system. Missing AFCI coverage. An undersized septic tank. These get caught by inspectors — not your PM — and become expensive change orders.

03 / PROBLEM

Architect's drawings leave scope gaps

Missing plumbing risers, undefined scope boundaries, no spec book. Your subs are pricing different things and you don't know it until the bids come back wildly inconsistent.

04 / PROBLEM

Bid comparison is a spreadsheet nightmare

Three bids on the same trade, three different scope assumptions. Normalizing them into an apples-to-apples comparison takes hours and still leaves room for expensive mistakes at award.

How It Works

Four steps.
A complete bid package.

Callout replaces the most labor-intensive parts of your pre-construction workflow — without replacing your judgment.

01
📐

Set Up Your Project

Add your project details — architect, address, scope notes, sub list. Callout organizes everything by trade and builds your bid package structure from your scope, not a generic template.

02
📋

Review the Scope Breakdown

Callout generates a full cost-code scope breakdown organized by trade, with drawing sheet references on every line item. You review and confirm before anything goes to subs.

03
🏗️

Issue Trade Bid Forms

One polished, branded bid form per trade — masonry, framing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and more — with your disclaimer language, submittal requirements, and exclusion lists built in.

04
⚖️

Compare and Award

When bids come back, log them in the bid board. Callout tracks every sub's number, exclusions, and status side by side — so you can level, compare, and award with confidence. No spreadsheet required.

What You Get

Every document
your project
actually needs.

Not generic templates. Real documents built from your specific drawing set, branded with your company standards, ready to send the day the architect delivers drawings.

📄

Cost Code Scope Breakdown

Every scope item organized by cost code, with the exact drawing sheet and date that drives it. Your PM knows what's on every project within hours of receiving drawings.

📝

Trade-Specific Bid Forms

One form per trade, generated from the drawings. Your disclaimer language, scaffolding and cleanup requirements, submittal checklists, and signature blocks — every time, without rebuilding from scratch.

🔍

GC Drawing Review

Callout flags what your PM would catch — missing drawings, local code issues, structural observations, scope ambiguities, and inspection hold points. Before you bid, not during construction.

📊

Bid Leveling & Comparison

Upload the incoming bids. Callout compares them against the scope — line by line — and surfaces what's missing, what's mismatched, and what needs resolution before award.

📋

Bid Board & Sub Tracking

Every sub tracked in real time. Who was sent what, who opened it, who submitted, what they bid, and what they excluded. Your entire bid list organized in one live view — no more chasing email threads.

🗂️

Drawing Log & Revision Tracker

Every sheet logged. Every revision documented. Delta notes when a new issue comes in. RFI log, transmittal log, and open items — one document that keeps your whole team current.
