HOW IT WORKS

From drawings to bid
in three steps.

bidyou.ai doesn't replace your estimator — it removes the manual lookup, the template wrestling, and the discrepancy hunting. The expert stays in control. The drudgery goes away.

01 INGEST

Drop in what you have

Excel bills of quantities, PDF specs, DXF/DWG drawings. We read your existing format — no re-keying, no template lock-in.

  • Excel: any layout, any column order, headers detected automatically
  • PDF: text-extraction first, OCR (PaddleOCR) for scans
  • DWG/DXF: block detection via YOLOv11 — we count luminaires, sockets, equipment from the drawing itself
02 MATCH

AI matches against your history

Our model — fine-tuned on your past bids — assigns codes, compositions, and labour coefficients. Multilingual (EN/PT/ES/FR) so item descriptions in any language map to the right historical code.

  • Vector search across hundreds of thousands of historical lines (ChromaDB)
  • Semantic embeddings with multilingual sentence-transformers (768-d, mpnet)
  • Local LLM (Ollama qwen3) for structured extraction — your data never leaves the perimeter
  • A 300-line BoQ moves from upload to validated draft in minutes, not days
03 VALIDATE

You stay in control

Review, adjust, and ship. Every AI suggestion shows its sources — which historical line it matched, which drawing block it counted, why this price. No black box. Your expertise refines the model for next time.

  • Inline diff: AI draft vs your edits
  • Provenance tracking: every number has a "why"
  • Export back to Excel, PDF, or your ERP (PHC integration available)
  • Your edits feed back into the model — gets sharper with every closed bid
