The AI Estimating Teardown
30 minutes with an AI estimating expert to find where AI can cut hours out of your bidding process.
You walk me through how you bid. I show you exactly where I'd plug AI in, with the actual prompts. You leave with a one-page action plan. This is not a software demo and not a sales call.
Who this is for
- Small GCs and builders doing their own estimates
- Owners spending nights and weekends on bids
- AI-curious but unsure where it actually fits in estimating: not theory, your process
Who this is not for
- Companies with a full precon team
- Anyone expecting a software demo (this is not one)
The 30 minutes
A real working session, minute by minute. No pitch at the end unless you ask for it.
What you build, and how you bid now
Your trades, your bid flow, and where the night and weekend hours go.
Walk your last bid step by step
Where the hours actually went, in your own words, from takeoff to sent bid.
The AI teardown
The 2 or 3 steps I'd automate first, with the actual prompts and tools for each, in priority order by hours saved.
Your AI action plan
The one-page plan (see below) and next steps, only if you want them.
What you leave with
A one-page AI action plan, sent after the call. The tangible takeaway and the reason to show up.
- The 3 automations ranked by hours saved (for example: AI takeoff on repeat scopes, spec summarization before bid day, RFI drafting from plan gaps)
- The exact prompts or tools for each, tailored to your project types
- What stays human: judgment calls, sub relationships, the final number

Capped at 3 to 4 a week
I run 3 to 4 of these a week. My time is the product, so it is capped. Expect 10 minutes of prep on my end, from your intake answers.

Weston Burnett, BYU student building Struvia, AI estimating software. I estimated full time before going back to school, so I know exactly where the hours go.
