No account, no call. Paste what you have, get a clean result back. Five tools for the paperwork that quietly costs you money.
| Sub | Base bid | Apparent gap |
|---|---|---|
| Apex Mechanical | $284,500 | Excludes winter heat |
| Northgate HVAC | $311,200 | Full scope |
| Vantage Air | $268,900 | Dewatering unclear |
The low bid hides a winter-heat exclusion worth more than the gap to second place. Datumel flags it before you award.
A 10–14 page analysis of how your operation runs — estimating, change orders, sub coordination, and software stack — delivered as a PDF within 48 hours.
What it names: a 1% margin lift on a $5M operation is $50,000. Subs on public threads have described losing $4,000 a month to unbilled T&M work alone.
The intake asks how you run the firm — bidding volume, software, where the friction shows up. It does not ask for project names, sub rates, client information, or financials. No upsell at the end.

An audit names where margin leaks. A Build installs the fix in your own tools; the partnership keeps it running. Any audit fee you've paid credits toward a Build.

Anchored to the T&M leakage it recovers.
A configured job-costing workbook in your own Sheets or Airtable: cost codes, estimate-versus-actual, WIP, and over/under billing — with training to run it.
One job caught going over usually covers the build.
An estimating and buyout system in your own tools: a scope-gap check, a bid-leveling workbook, and tuned assistants that catch missed scope before it costs you.

The systems only pay off if they keep running.
