From RFP to Proposal
AI That Does the Estimating Grind
Upload your spec book. Get WBS-classified scope packages, manage sub bids, and assemble your GC proposal — in hours, not weeks.
The Pre-Construction Problem
What Your Estimating Team Faces on Every Bid:
- Spec books: 500-2,000+ pages across multiple volumes
- Drawing sets: 50-500 sheets across 9+ disciplines
- Addenda, contracts, geotech reports: Hundreds more pages arriving throughout the bid period
- Manual decomposition: Reading every section, classifying by trade, building scope packages — by hand
- Sub bid management: Dozens of subcontractors across 29 trades, each needing the right scope
- Proposal assembly: Pulling it all together into a coherent GC response under deadline pressure
The result? Weeks of manual work per bid. Missed sections that become change orders. Sub bids that don’t cover the full scope. Proposals that leave money on the table — or leave scope uncovered.
What TeraContext.AI Does
Upload & Ingest
Drop in your spec PDFs, drawing sets, addenda, contracts, and geotech reports. The platform accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and images. Processing starts automatically.
AI Classification
A 7-phase AI pipeline extracts every spec section and classifies it against masterformat (546 codes) or any of 10 other industry-standard WBS taxonomies. Each classification comes with a confidence score so your team knows exactly where to focus their review.
Human Review
Your estimators stay in control. Confirm high-confidence classifications in bulk, flag edge cases for discussion, and correct anything the AI got wrong. The AI does the heavy lifting; your team makes the final call.
Scope Package Generation
Bundle classified sections into trade-specific packages for subcontractor bidding. Auto-generate packages by division, then customize until the scope breakdown matches how you actually bid. Export each package as CSV, PDF, Word, or Markdown.
Drawing Analysis
A vision LLM analyzes every drawing page — extracting sheet metadata, general notes, keynotes, schedules, and material callouts. Cross-references between drawings and spec sections are mapped automatically.
Bid Management
Build your subcontractor directory across 29 standard construction trades. Invite subs to bid on specific scope packages. When bids come back, the AI analyzes each response for coverage, exclusions, alternates, qualifications, and risk flags — catching the buried exclusions that manual review misses.
Natural Language Query
Ask questions directly against your uploaded specs and drawings. Get AI-generated answers with source citations — spec section codes, drawing numbers, and page references.
Proposal Assembly
Assemble accepted sub bids into a complete GC proposal response with coverage matrix, gap analysis, per-trade narratives, and executive summary. Run a compliance check against the original RFP. Export as PDF or Word.

Specialized AI Pipeline
Our 7-phase processing pipeline (PDF Extraction → Table Extraction → Section Splitting → Embedding → WBS Classification → Graph Building → Cross-Ref Validation) is purpose-built for construction documents — not adapted from a generic document tool.
Why TeraContext.AI?
Part of the Joshua8.AI Product Line
- Construction-specific WBS classification — not generic document tagging, but purpose-built for masterformat and construction specification structure
- Human-in-the-loop review — AI does the heavy lifting, but your estimators approve every classification before scope packages are built
- End-to-end workflow — from the moment the RFP lands to the moment your proposal ships, in one platform
- Bid response intelligence — AI-powered analysis of sub bid documents catches exclusions and gaps that manual review misses
Is TeraContext.AI Right For You?
We are a fit if…
- Your estimating team processes RFPs with 500+ page spec books
- Manual spec decomposition and scope packaging takes your team days or weeks
- You manage subcontractor bidding across many trades per project
- Missed scope and incomplete coverage are costing you on change orders
- You need to respond to multiple RFPs simultaneously
We may not be a fit if…
- You’re a small residential contractor without complex spec books
- Your projects don’t involve multi-trade subcontractor bidding
- You have fewer than 100 pages of specifications per project
Early Access Program
TeraContext.AI is currently available through our Early Access program. We’re working closely with a select group of general contractors to refine the platform.
