Critical Stage in Construction Bidding

Tender preparation is a critical stage in the construction bidding process. Contractors and estimating teams must analyse project drawings, review specifications, prepare Bills of Quantities, and organise tender submissions within strict deadlines.

For many projects, the tender documentation is divided into multiple work packages such as structural works, finishes, services, or specialist trades. Each package must be organised carefully to ensure that scope, quantities, and specifications are clearly defined.

AI-Assisted Tools

Preparing these packages manually can be time-consuming. Estimators often need to extract information from drawings, interpret specification documents, and organise quantities across several BOQ sections.

AedisPro introduces AI-assisted tools that help estimating teams organise tender packages more efficiently. By combining collections for organising tender packages, prompt-based BOQ generation, and AI-assisted specification analysis, AedisPro helps teams prepare structured tender documentation faster.

The Complexity of Construction Tender Preparation

Tender preparation requires careful coordination of multiple sources of project information

Estimating teams typically need to work with:

Architectural drawings
Engineering drawings
Project specifications
Scope documents
BOQ structures for multiple work packages

Large projects may include several tender packages, each covering a different portion of the project scope.

Each package must be prepared with clear quantities, structured BOQ sections, and relevant specification notes.

Examples of tender packages include:

Structural works
Architectural finishes
Interior fit-out
Mechanical systems
Electrical systems
Specialist trades

Because this information is spread across multiple documents, tender preparation can take significant time to organise

Organise Tender Packages Using Collections

AedisPro introduces Collections, a system that allows estimating teams to organise project information into separate work packages

Each collection can represent a specific tender package, trade, or scope area within the project.

This structure allows estimators to organise BOQ sections and quantities clearly according to the tender package being prepared.

Example collections:

Structural Works
Interior Finishes
Mechanical Services
Electrical Works
Specialist Installations

Collections help estimating teams:

1

Organise quantities by work package

2

Maintain clear separation between trade scopes

3

Prepare tender documentation in a structured way

4

Manage complex projects more efficiently

Generate BOQ Structures for Tender Packages

Once tender packages are organised, estimators must prepare BOQ structures for each package

Traditionally, this process requires manually creating BOQ sections and line items based on drawings and specifications.

With AedisPro, estimators can generate BOQ structures using prompts.

The AI agent can assist by:

Generating BOQ sections for the selected tender package
Organising work items within each section
Suggesting relevant notes where necessary
Helping structure the BOQ according to the project scope

This allows estimating teams to establish an organised BOQ framework quickly before populating it with quantities

Extract Specification Context with AI Assistance

Tender preparation often requires reviewing specification documents to understand how work items should be defined within the BOQ.

Estimators frequently need to search through long specification documents to identify material requirements, installation methods, scope descriptions, and compliance requirements.

✓ AI tools extract relevant specification context automatically

AedisPro includes AI-assisted tools that help extract relevant context from specification documents:

Extract relevant scope descriptions from specifications
Add notes that clarify installation requirements
Assist with structuring BOQ items based on specification context

Collaborative Tender Preparation

Tender preparation often requires multiple estimators working together across different parts of the project

For example:

One estimator may prepare structural quantities

Another may focus on interior finishes

Another may review services packages

AedisPro supports collaborative workflows where team members can work on different collections or BOQ sections simultaneously.

Collaboration helps teams prepare complex tender submissions more efficiently.

This allows estimating teams to:

1

Divide tender preparation across multiple team members

2

Work on separate work packages simultaneously

3

Maintain a clear structure across the entire tender

Key Capabilities for Tender Preparation

Collections for Work Packages

Organise tender scopes into collections representing different trade packages or work areas.

Prompt-Based BOQ Generation

Generate BOQ structures quickly using prompts, allowing teams to establish organised tender documentation faster.

Specification Context Extraction

AI-assisted tools analyse specification documents and help extract relevant information that can be added to BOQ items.

Collaborative Estimating Workflows

Multiple team members can work on different tender packages simultaneously while maintaining an organised project structure.

Benefits of Using AedisPro for Tender Preparation

Faster Tender Package Preparation

Collections and prompt-based BOQ generation help teams organise tender documentation quickly

Reduced Time Searching Specifications

AI-assisted tools help extract relevant specification context more efficiently

Better Organisation of Work Packages

Collections help maintain clear separation between different trade scopes within the tender

Improved Team Collaboration

Multiple estimators can work together across different packages of the same project

Prepare Tender Submissions with Greater Efficiency

Tender preparation requires careful organisation of quantities, specifications, and project scope across multiple packages.

AedisPro introduces AI-assisted workflows that help estimating teams organise tender packages using collections, generate structured BOQ frameworks with prompts, and extract specification context from project documentation.

By combining these capabilities, AedisPro helps teams prepare tender submissions more efficiently while maintaining clear and structured project information.
