Most contractors price jobs from memory, gut feel, and last year's spreadsheet. BidPilot replaces that with a structured, AI-assisted process that builds the same proposal in minutes — with the line-item detail that holds up when a customer asks questions.
No spreadsheet required
BidPilot builds the itemized breakdown for you. Labor, materials, markup — each line is calculated, not guessed.
Photo-to-estimate in minutes
Upload job site photos and BidPilot reads them — detecting roof pitch, square footage, and scope without manual measurement entry.
Proposals customers sign on site
The output is a polished, branded proposal — not a Word doc or email chain. Customers can review and sign before you leave the driveway.

Step 1 — Job Information
From job site photos to a full scope in under two minutes
Select your trade, name the job, and upload photos from your phone. BidPilot reads the images for dimensions, pitch, material type, and complexity — filling in the measurements you would have spent an hour verifying manually.
- Trade-specific photo analysis — roofing, painting, flooring, and more
- Detects square footage, pitch, obstructions, and access conditions
- Works from drone footage, ground-level photos, or Google Street View screenshots
Step 2 — Measurements & Line Items
Every line item, every cost, every margin — on one screen
BidPilot generates a full itemized cost breakdown from the job scope — labor and materials separated, each line editable. Move the profit margin slider and watch the total reprice in real time. No formulas, no broken cells.
- Labor and material costs broken out per line item
- Real-time total as you adjust quantities or margin
- Override any AI-generated figure with your own numbers
- Trade-specific material databases — current regional pricing
How it works
Assessment to signed proposal.
One session.
Assess the job on site
Open BidPilot on your phone. Choose your trade, name the job, and upload photos. BidPilot reads the images and pulls dimensions, materials, and scope without you typing a single measurement.
Review and price the breakdown
BidPilot generates a full itemized cost breakdown — labor and materials separate, by line. Adjust quantities, override any number, and move the profit margin slider until the total reflects exactly what the job is worth to you.
Send a proposal your customer can sign
One tap exports a polished, branded proposal. Your customer reviews it on their phone or tablet and signs it on the spot. The signed proposal lands in your account immediately — no follow-up email required.

AI pitch and area detection saves the measurement step — no satellite tool subscription required.
If you run a painting crew
Room-by-room square footage, prep work, and material quantities — all itemized from a walkthrough photo set.
If you do kitchen or bath remodels
Fixture lists, labor hours by task, and subcontractor allowances — structured and repeatable every time.
The estimate your accountant would trust. On site, in minutes.
Stop losing jobs to slow follow-up and unprofessional proposals. BidPilot puts a credible, itemized estimate in your customer's hands before you leave the property.
Common questions
Do I need to be on the job site to use BidPilot?
No. You can upload photos you took on a site visit, or use photos from a previous inspection. The AI analysis works from any clear photo set.
Can I edit the numbers BidPilot generates?
Yes — every figure is editable. BidPilot generates the starting point; you have full control over quantities, unit costs, and markup before anything goes to the customer.
What trades does BidPilot support?
Roofing, painting, flooring, kitchen and bath remodeling, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, concrete, masonry, and landscaping. More trades are added on a rolling basis.
Is BidPilot built for large general contractors?
No. BidPilot is purpose-built for independent contractors and small crews — 1 to 10 people, pricing 5 to 30 jobs a month. Large GC platforms have their own tools.
