Prepare Full-Project BOQs Without Drowning in Documents
Large tenders don't come with one drawing set. They come with hundreds of sheets, specs, and schedules across every trade. AedisPro's AI reviews that volume with you, so your team spends its time pricing and strategizing instead of scrolling through PDFs.
Full-Project Document Review, Cross-Referenced in One Pass
A single tender package for a mid-size contractor can mean 300+ pages across architectural, structural, and MEP sets, plus specs and addenda. Reviewing all of it manually, sheet by sheet, is the single biggest time sink before pricing even starts.
AedisPro's AI reviews the entire document set together, cross-referencing drawings, specs, and schedules so your estimator isn't manually flipping between forty sheets to catch every mention of a wall type or fixture. It surfaces where something is called out, changed, or inconsistent across the set. The AI can also assist with taking off some measurable quantities directly, but on large multi-trade projects that's one part of the picture alongside the manual review and judgment your estimators still do.
What this changes for a contractor specifically: the time saved scales with project size. In real testing with a group of quantity surveyors, AedisPro's AI assistance cut document review time by 70%. A small job might save you an afternoon, while a 400-sheet tender can save days, which is exactly when tender deadlines are tightest.
Split the BOQ, Not the Project
Large projects don't have to be estimated by one person working sequentially. In AedisPro, multiple estimators can work inside the same project at the same time. One on substructure, another on finishes, another on MEP, each building their section of the BOQ in parallel instead of waiting their turn.
Compress Timelines
Large projects compress from days to hours of estimator time, not just per person but in total elapsed time.
One Live Project
No more merging separate spreadsheets from different people at the end. It's one live project throughout.
Clear Ownership
Section ownership stays clear: everyone can see who's responsible for what, with full audit tracking on every change.
This is a genuinely different approach from traditional collaboration. It's specifically about parallelizing large BOQs by section, which is a contractor-scale problem. One project split into multiple BOQ sections being worked simultaneously, rather than sequentially.
Bring in Remote or Freelance Estimators Without the Security Risk
Tender demand isn't steady. When volume spikes, hiring freelance or remote estimators is often the fastest way to keep up, but it usually means sending out confidential drawings and project data to people outside your company, with no real control over where that data ends up.
Browser-Based Access
Remote estimators work directly inside your project. They can view, measure, and price, but nothing is ever downloaded to their device.
Granular Control
You control exactly what each person can see and do, with full permission management.
Full Audit Trail
Every action is tracked and logged, so you always know who did what and when.
In practice: You can scale your estimating capacity up for a busy tender period using outside help, without the usual trade-off of losing control over sensitive project documents.
Role-Based Pricing Visibility
Bringing in extra estimators, especially temporary or freelance ones, usually means a choice between two bad options: give them full access including your rates, or lock them out of the project entirely.
Estimator Role
- ✓Measure quantities across all trades
- ✓Build out complete BOQ structures
- ✓Add items and descriptions
- ✗No access to unit prices
- ✗No access to margins or totals
Cost Manager Role
- ✓All estimator permissions
- ✓View and edit unit prices
- ✓See cost breakdowns and margins
- ✓Access to project totals
- ✓Full commercial control
In practice: You can staff up quickly for a tender deadline without worrying about your pricing strategy leaking out with a freelancer who's only with you for two weeks.
Licensing That Scales With Your Pipeline, Not Against It
Tender pipelines are lumpy. Quiet months, then three tenders due in the same week. Most estimating software locks you into a fixed seat count regardless of what your pipeline actually looks like.
Traditional Licensing
- •Fixed seat count for the entire year
- •Pay for capacity you don't use in quiet periods
- •Sized for your busiest month, every month
- •No flexibility for temporary team expansion
AedisPro Licensing
- •Add users when a big tender period hits
- •Scale back down when things quiet down
- •Pay for the capacity you're actually using
- •Perfect for bringing on freelance help temporarily
AedisPro's licensing flexes with you: match your subscription to your actual workload, not a forecast you made twelve months ago.
Built for the Way Contractors Actually Estimate Large Projects
Big tenders mean big document sets, tight deadlines, and teams that need to flex up and down. AedisPro is built around those specific realities. Not just takeoff measurement, but reviewing at scale, working in parallel, hiring securely, keeping pricing confidential by role, and licensing that matches your pipeline.
