Sheet G-000 Cover · Project Delivery System

The bid
becomes
the build.

Plumbline reads the plan set, prices the work, and turns the winning estimate into the live project — budget, buyout, and schedule — without a single number re-keyed between preconstruction and the field.

Sheet G-001 General notes

G.N. 1 15–20 hrs

Reclaimed per estimator, per week, once the measuring is machine work and the judgment stays human.

G.N. 2 3× bids

Bid capacity with the same headcount. Takeoffs return in minutes to hours, not days.

G.N. 3 ±1%

Quantity variance target, human-QA-checked on request, before a bid ever leaves the door.

G.N. 4 1 record

One database from estimate line to closeout actual. No exports, no re-keying, no drift.

Sheets A · D · S One continuous set

Win the work. Bridge it. Build it.

Today those are three tools and two rounds of re-keying. Plumbline runs them as one drawing set — the quantities extracted at bid time are the same records the field runs on.

A-101Precon

Win the work

Upload the plan set. AI extracts quantities by trade — concrete, steel, mechanical, electrical — with a human QA pass on request. Price against your own cost history and get the proposal out while the competition is still counting doors.

  • AI quantity takeoff, full plan sets
  • Estimate builder on live cost data
  • ITB capture & bid leveling
  • Proposal in hours, not weeks
D-201Detail · The Bridge

One click: estimate → project

The part neither half of the industry has alone. The moment you win, the numbers you bid with become the project you run — nothing re-keyed, nothing lost in the handoff between precon and operations.

S-301Execution

Build the work

Run the job on the same numbers. Every invoice, change order, and cost code traces back to the original takeoff line — so budget-vs-actual is an answer, not an investigation.

  • RFIs, submittals, daily logs, punch
  • Cost management & pay apps
  • Crews, equipment, safety
  • Owner & sub collaboration

Rev Δ2 Revision intelligence

Drawings change. Your numbers keep up.

A revision lands and, today, somebody eyeballs two plan sets and hopes. Plumbline treats every rev like a new bid:

  • Re-takeoff, automatically. The AI re-reads the revised sheets the moment they land.
  • Diff against contract. Every quantity delta is flagged against what you bid and bought.
  • Change order, pre-drafted. Priced from your own unit costs, ready before the OAC meeting.

Sheet AB-601 As-built feedback loop

Every job teaches the next bid.

Most estimating databases are frozen guesses. Plumbline’s is alive: installed quantities, labor hours, and unit costs flow back from the field into the estimating engine — so the gap between what you bid and what it cost narrows on every project.

  • Production rates by crew, not from a 20-year-old reference book.
  • Unit costs by trade and region, refreshed by your own closed jobs.
  • Variance flags at bid time, when a line sits far off your history.

Sheet AN-901 Portfolio analytics

The whole portfolio on one datum.

Because precon and execution share one data model, questions that used to take a quarter to answer are a filter:

  • Bid hit rate by client, trade, and project size.
  • Estimate-vs-actual variance down to the cost code.
  • Margin erosion flags while there is still time to act.
  • Backlog vs. capacity across crews and calendars.

Sheet PD-001 Project directory

Every seat at the table, same numbers.

General contractors

Bid more. Keep the fee.

Chase more work without adding estimators, and defend margin with numbers that trace from proposal to pay app.

Specialty contractors

Trade-deep, field-ready.

Takeoffs that speak your trade — mechanical, electrical, concrete, steel — feeding the crews that install it.

Suppliers & distributors

Quantities into orders.

Material counts flow straight from the takeoff into quotes and orders, with rev deltas updating them automatically.

Owners

One truth, start to finish.

Visibility from the first conceptual budget through closeout — on the same records the builder runs.
