Using AI to understand construction plans faster.
Our product helps GCs automatically identify scopes of work, find qualified local subcontractors, and send personalized bid invites.
Downtobid is an AI-powered construction bidding platform that helps general contractors create clean scopes, draft personalized ITBs, and manage bid invites and communications with subs from a single dashboard.
For general contractors: upload plan sets; AI reads sheets, identifies trade packages, drafts scope notes, and creates bid packages. It sends personalized ITBs from the contractor’s email, tracks who opened invites, and monitors bidding progress. For subcontractors: a unified bid board to see invites, deadlines, and RFIs, with a calendar view, and the ability to reply and manage bid progress. The system supports migration from other platforms and offers planroom access and bid tracking features. Pricing is per organization or per user/sub-discipline with a clear distinction between contractor and subcontractor access.
Who it’s for: General contractors (GCs) and subcontractors in commercial construction bidding
