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 egress path. 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 takes hours and still leaves room for expensive mistakes at award.

Four steps.
A complete bid package.

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

01
📐

Upload Your Drawing Set

Drop in the architectural and structural PDFs. Callout reads every sheet — plans, sections, details, schedules — and builds a complete understanding of the project scope.

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, upload them. Callout produces a leveled bid comparison — confirmed scope, gaps, mismatches, and recommended action before award. 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.

🔍

GC Drawing Review

Callout flags what your PM would catch — missing drawings, 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.

📚

Homeowner Closeout Book

A professional closeout package built around your project — HVAC specs, paint colors, warranty documentation, appliance manuals, maintenance schedules. Handed to the owner at move-in.

🗂️

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.

What lands in your
inbox after upload.

From The Field

Built by a GC,
for GCs.

"We sent out a bid package for a complex renovation three days after receiving drawings. It used to take two weeks and a full PM's time. The forms caught a scope gap the architect had missed entirely."
Managing Director Luxury Residential GC — Northeast · Callout Early Access
"The code review flagged a garbage disposal on a septic system property before we bid it. That's the kind of thing that shows up as a change order during construction. It paid for itself on the first project."
