A1.01 / The BuildScope loop
One pass from plan set to signed subcontract.
02
Decompose the scope
Vision models detect walls, openings, fixtures, and panels, then quantify them into MasterFormat Scope Packages with source coordinates.
03
Match, bid, award
Post a package. Verified subs receive a takeoff-ready invite. Sealed bids open into a leveling table. Award writes the subcontract.
B1.01 / Marketplace
A closed-loop market for quantified scopes.
BuildScope is not a bid board. AI-generated Scope Packages are matched to subcontractors who are licensed, insured, and rated for the work— then every award feeds performance data back into the next match.
Pre-extracted bid package · takeoff already done
Confirm the package
Review the AI-quantified Scope Package, adjust quantities, add notes, set a bid deadline.
Post to marketplace
One click invites ranked, pre-vetted subs. They receive the takeoff-ready package—not a 100-page blast.
Sealed bidding
Amounts stay hidden until the deadline. You see who was invited and who viewed the package.
Level and award
Side-by-side bids with ratings and history. Award generates the subcontract with the scope as an exhibit.
B1.02 / Matching
How a sub gets invited.
License match
Verified trade license in the project jurisdiction. Expired or invalid credentials suspend marketplace access automatically.
Bonding & insurance
Bonding capacity checked against estimated scope value. COIs are parsed for limits and dates, with 30-day expiry flags.
Work radius
Only subcontractors whose declared service area covers the jobsite receive the invitation.
Performance graph
Composite rating from safety, schedule, quality, and communication on prior platform work. Capacity signals weight the rank.
B1.03 / Bid leveling
Competitive bids. Verified names.
After the deadline, compare sealed bids side by side—rating, prior platform work, amount, and notes—then award without leaving the record.
| Subcontractor | Rating | Prior | Sealed bid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terraline Concrete | 4.4 | 3 jobs | $0 |
| Cordero Structural | 4.8 | 11 jobs | $0 |
| Halvorsen Brothers | 4.6 | 7 jobs | $0 |

On award
4.5% · capped $2,000
Success fee on awarded subcontract value, paid by the subcontractor at signing. Compliance ledger activates the same moment.
A2.01 / Scope decomposition
Every quantity points back to a line on the drawing.
The takeoff is not a summary paragraph. Each detection is a structured object—type, coordinates, confidence—so a quantity can always be traced to the geometry that produced it.

C1.01 / Compliance ledger
Every permit has a name on it.
When a subcontract executes, that trade's permits enter the project ledger with the sub as responsible party. Status changes are timestamped and immutable.

Generative models never write the final permit list. A deterministic rule graph maps scope tags to adopted code sections—versioned, logged, and source-linked.

T1.01 / Trust
What the output is, and what it is not.
Rules engine
Deterministic, not generated
Permit requirements execute against a versioned rule graph. Generative models are confined to interpreting unstructured plan notes.
Citations
Linked to adopted code
Every requirement carries its issuing authority, the scope tag that triggered it, and a link to the municipal section in force.
Audit log
Immutable and versioned
Every user action, contract event, and rule version used is recorded and cannot be rewritten after the fact.
Isolation
Walled between tenants
Bids, contract values, and pricing never cross between competing organizations. Enterprise adds dedicated schema isolation.
Encryption
AES-256 and TLS 1.3
Data encrypted at rest and in transit. SOC 2 Type II certification targeted within twelve months of launch.
Standing
A draft for validation
Output is an advisory draft for professional review. BuildScope is not a licensed design, engineering, or legal service.
