BidRFI · Industrial & data center construction

Find the gaps before the bid does.

BidRFI reads the full bid package, specs and drawings together, and hands your team a prioritized list of RFIs to submit before the clarification window closes.

The problem

RFIs are due before anyone has read the package.

Large bid packages, especially for data centers, are routinely incomplete: thousands of pages of specs alongside drawing sets missing critical information. Pre-bid RFIs are how a bidder quantifies those gaps, but they are typically due in the first weeks of a month-long cycle, before estimators have done a deep review.

Review happens too late

Industry analysis shows document review most often happens after bidding, not before. The clarification window closes first.

Text-only tools miss it

The tools meant to help read text only. They cannot cross-reference the actual drawings, where the gaps live.

Blind pricing

Missing scope gets priced in blind, and any missing scope on the bid drawings becomes a cost problem downstream.

How it works

Specs and drawings, read together, early.

01

Review

The full bid package: technical specifications and drawing sets.

02

Cross-reference

Specs analyzed against drawings simultaneously to detect missing information, inconsistencies, and risks.

03

Prioritize

A ranked list of suggested RFIs, gaps and unquantified risks first.

04

Validate

Your team reviews, refines, and submits. Nothing goes out on its own.

Why BidRFI

Risk surfaced while the cost is still controllable.

Specs and drawings together

Cross-references written specifications against drawing sets, the comparison text-only tools cannot make.

Ahead of the deadline

Documentation gaps surfaced before the RFI window closes, against an industry pattern of reviewing after the bid.

Risk before it is priced in

Unquantified risks flagged early, so they do not land in the bid price blind. Fewer surprises downstream.

Security & deployment

Your bid documents never leave your environment.

On-prem or in a customer-controlled environment. Open-weight models on Apolo’s private GPUs, no third-party AI provider. A forward-deployed engineer configures it to your bid-package structure and disciplines, live in weeks, not quarters. Works alongside BidTakeoff on the same packages.

FAQ

What preconstruction teams ask first.

Existing RFI tools didn’t help us. What is different?

They are text-only. BidRFI reads the drawings alongside the specs, the cross-reference those tools miss.

RFIs are due before we have even reviewed the package.

That is the point. Review usually happens after bidding; BidRFI surfaces gaps early, before the window closes.

Will it submit RFIs on its own?

No. It proposes a prioritized list. Your team validates, refines, and submits.

Where do our bid documents go?

Nowhere. On-prem or in an environment you control, with no third-party LLM in the loop.
