CHAPTER 01 · THE MATH OF HIT-RATE

Five bids. One win. That's the trade.

Today · without Preqonn

spent. One job booked.

5 bids × 20-60 hours each. The four losses still cost you the same week your team didn't ship. Capacity is the binding constraint on revenue.

With Preqonn AI

Bid more in the same hours.

Same team. Same week. 25 bids in. 5 booked. Hit-rate math finally works in your favor, without adding a single estimator.

Chapter 02 · The work

What every bid actually costs you.

Four bottlenecks. Same four every job. Preqonn handles each one before your senior estimator opens the file.

Pain · 01 20–60h / BID

Reading 200 pages to find the 30 that price the job.

Spec sections in Division 08, 09, 10 hide the line items that drive cost. Most are buried in dense paragraphs an estimator has read 50 times before.

Preqonn 4 MIN

Every line item, surfaced. Cited to the page.

The AI reads the whole spec, extracts the 30 cost-driving items, and links each one back to its exact section and paragraph. Your senior estimator audits, not hunts.

Pain · 02 ~1 / BID

One missed line item kills the margin on three good ones.

A skipped electrified-hardware riser, a missed firestop assembly, a substituted finish - lump-sum bids absorb the loss. One bad takeoff erases three good wins.

Preqonn 0 MISS

Every spec-driven requirement, flagged. Nothing skipped.

The AI checks against the full spec tree: hardware sets, ratings, finishes, codes (NFPA 80, ADA §404). If it's in the spec, it's in your bid. With the citation to prove it.

Pain · 03 ~3 TOOLS

Bouncing across Bluebeam, Excel, and three vendor sites.

You measure in one tool, schedule in another, then chase pricing across 120+ manufacturer books. Half the job is moving data between windows.

Preqonn 1 FLOW

One platform. Takeoff, schedule, pricing, BOM. End to end.

Plans, specs, schedules, vendor books - all in one operator. Live distributor pricing baked in. Substitution alternates ranked when something is discontinued or long-lead.

Pain · 04 5–10× / WIN

Bidding 5–10 jobs to win one. The other 4–9 are just gone.

Every bid costs you days. Most don't book. The math forces a choice: bid fewer and shrink, or burn out the team chasing hit-rate.

Preqonn 3–5× THRUPUT

Bid 3–5× more jobs at the same headcount.

Hours-per-bid collapses. Capacity expands. Your hit-rate stays where it is - but the denominator triples. More wins, same team, same week.

CHAPTER 03 · INSIDE THE EXTRACTION

From 217 pages to a bid-ready package. Watch it happen.

Four stages, choreographed. The same spec PDF, traced through every step Preqonn runs in under five minutes.

STEP 01 · INGEST

The raw spec lands. 217 pages. Untouched.

Drop the PDF. The spec section, the door schedule, the hardware sets, the addenda - all of it. Preqonn reads the whole stack the way an estimator does, but without skimming.

  • Sheet A-8.01 · Door scheduleDWG
  • Addendum 03 · revised HWPDF
STEP 02 · EXTRACT

The 30 line items that actually drive cost.

Every locked, every hinge, every closer, every electrified strike - surfaced with the citation to the section and paragraph. Nothing inferred. Nothing missed.

  • Locksets, closers, exit devices11
  • Hinges & pivots6
  • Electrified hardware5
  • Finishes & accessories8
STEP 03 · PRICE

Priced against 120+ live distributor books.

Each SKU is matched to current pricing, lead-time, and finish code. When something is discontinued or long-lead, alternates are ranked and flagged inline.

STEP 04 · DELIVER

Bid-ready package. Signed by a senior estimator.

A client-facing PDF with scope, exclusions, code compliance, and the bid total. Code-checked (NFPA 80, ADA §404.2, IBC §1010). Verified before delivery.

FAQ

The questions every sub asks first.

Real concerns from real estimators. No marketing answers.

Yes. Preqonn ingests CSI MasterFormat, custom spec books, and addenda. The AI is trained on 200+ document formats, including the ones that aren't standard. If your spec is a PDF, we read it. If it's a Word doc, we read that too. The output is the same client-ready package regardless of input format.
Drop the addendum. The platform diffs it against the original spec, flags every changed line item, and updates the bid automatically. You see what changed and why - no rebuild, no manual reconciliation.
Every line item is cited back to the exact section and paragraph in the spec. A senior estimator signs off before delivery. If something was extracted, you can prove where it came from. If something wasn't extracted, the AI flags the gap explicitly - it doesn't silently skip.
120+ manufacturer books, live: Schlage, LCN, Von Duprin, Sargent, Hager, Stanley, McKinney, ABH, Rixson, Norton, dormakaba, ASSA ABLOY, and the long tail. If a distributor publishes pricing, we ingest it. Substitution alternates rank automatically when something is discontinued or long-lead.
It stays yours. We don't train on your data, we don't share it across customers, and you can pull a full export any time. Your bid library is your competitive moat - we help you use it, not give it away.
