For main contractors

Procurement, end-to-end — in one workflow

Most procurement tools stop at "send the package." Blueprint Crusher takes you from bill to award, with everything in between.

1
Package & scope

Slice the bill into trade packages with drawings, specs, and inclusion/exclusion scope.

2
Invite to bid

Pick from your directory, find nearby subs by trade, or invite by email. Subs quote free.

3
Level & compare

Quotes lined up against your bill. Coverage, exclusions, and outliers flagged on every row.

4
Award & lock

Mix line items across subs to build best-of-breed. Award letter, scope lock, audit trail.

01 Invite to bid

Cast a wider net without the chasing

Send the same package to three subs or thirty. Invite from your saved directory, search nearby by trade, or paste in fresh emails. Documents and revisions sync to every invitee automatically.

  • My directory · Find nearby · Invite by email — three ways to recruit, one inbox to track.
  • Subcontractor portal — subs see only their package, with documents, scope and clarifications scoped to them.
  • Revisions on tap — issue Rev 2, addenda, or clarifications without losing the audit trail.
02 Bid leveling

Every bid on one screen. Outliers in seconds.

The leveler lines every quote up against your bill. Best price per row is highlighted; exclusions and outliers are flagged so you can ask the right question, fast.

  • Coverage scoring — what each sub covered, excluded, and where their per-item rates fall vs the median.
  • Per-item & lump sum — handle quote formats side by side without unraveling lump sums by hand.
  • Revision-aware — flip between Rev 1 / Rev 2 without losing decisions or notes.

For subcontractors

From tender PDF to priced bill — in one afternoon

Upload, parse, takeoff, rate, export. Same workflow whether you're pricing a fit-out or a civils package.

1
Upload & classify

PDFs, XLS, DWG, ZIP. Auto-classified and OCR'd in minutes.

2
Parse bill

Excel + PDF parsing with row-type classifier and AI post-processing.

3
Takeoff & rate

Calibrated drawing measurements; parametric assemblies build the rate.

4
Export priced bill

Excel in the exact format the MC sent. Same structure, your numbers.

The platform

Everything a QS or PM needs, in one tab

Seven core areas, fully wired together — so the rate library powers the build-up, the build-up powers the leveler, and the leveler powers the award.

Document workspace

PDF + Excel viewing with AI document analysis, annotations, and the drawing register.

Rate library

Every product carries its supplier price, UOM and A1–A3 carbon factor with a citation — source and version travel with the product, so every rate it lands in is defensible.

Rate builder

Parametric assemblies with variables and component decomposition. Non-destructive apply.

Imports

Vision-based price sheet & invoice import. As each line lands, products are auto-matched against the seed factor library (MPA FS18, CARES, BCSA, ÖKOBAUDAT 2024-I) — confidence-gated, citation attached.

Clients & subs

Client directory for MCs, subcontractor directory with trade, region and past performance.

AI assistant

Streaming chat over every project document. Confidence-gated, cites the exact clause, drawing or BoQ row — never invents a source.

Procurement (MC)

Packages, invitations, quotes (per-item + lump sum), leveling and awards. Subs return a priced bill in your format with kgCO₂e per category — the figures and citations travel with the quote, so you compare on price and carbon.

Spec intelligence

AI cross-checks the bill against the spec, flags discrepancies and missing items with cost impact — and surfaces BS 8500-permitted swaps (e.g. CEM I 0.912 → CEM III/B 0.260 kgCO₂e/kg, ~71% reduction).

Carbon (A1–A3)

kgCO₂e on every rate entry, rolled up by category and bill with coverage %. Seeded with MPA Fact Sheet 18, CARES UK, BCSA and ÖKOBAUDAT 2024-I — manufacturer EPDs override. Every figure exports with its source + version, RICS WLCA-tiered.

AI assistant

An estimator that's read every document

Streaming chat over project docs with confidence-gated agentic search, query decomposition, and cited sources. Not a chatbot bolt-on.

  • Cited sources. Every answer links to the exact spec clause, drawing or bill row.
  • Confidence-gated. The agent decomposes queries and only answers when it has the evidence.
  • Spec analysis. Discrepancies, missing items, and scope gaps surfaced with CSI MasterFormat awareness.
  • Brand & system canonicalisation. Manufacturer system codes resolved against the KB.
  • Carbon substitutions. Spots BS 8500-permitted swaps — CEM I 0.912 → CEM III/B 0.260 kgCO₂e/kg, ~71% reduction — pulled from the factor library with citations. Never invents a factor that isn't in your library.

What's the spec on Type A partition heads?
Type A is a deflection-head detail per NBS K10 · clause 5.1 — Gyproc head channel with 25 mm deflection allowance. The BoQ row (item 27) lists "fixed head" — likely a discrepancy worth €300–€1,200.

Why Blueprint Crusher

Built different

ML-first

Purpose-built around vector search, structured extraction and agentic loops — not bolted onto legacy software.

Zero integration

Upload documents — no ERP connectors, no IT project. Works out of the box for both MCs and subs.

EU-hosted & sustainable

Infrastructure on Scaleway in Paris — JWT auth, role-based access, per-company data wall, and a low-carbon footprint.

Sustainability

Hosted on one of Europe's greenest clouds

Estimating workloads are spiky — vector search, document OCR, agentic loops. We run them on Scaleway's PAR2 / DC5 in Paris, which is engineered for low energy and water use from the ground up.

Where Blueprint Crusher runs Scaleway · PAR2 / DC5 · Paris

A data center that uses 30–50% less energy than the industry average.

Compute, storage and AI workloads sit inside Scaleway's DC5 facility, which Scaleway designed without traditional water-based chillers. It cools racks using outside air and adiabatic cooling, draws power from wind and hydro under Guarantees of Origin, and reports its own footprint annually.

Paris, France · EU data residency 100% renewable (wind & hydro, GO-backed) ISO 27001 · SOC 2 · GDPR
  • No water-cooled chillers in DC5. Free cooling with outside air and adiabatic stages — using roughly an order of magnitude less water than a conventionally-cooled hyperscaler facility.
  • SBTi-aligned reduction path. Our host is committed to the Iliad Group's SBTi-validated target: a 90% cut to scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2050 vs. a 2022 baseline.
  • Hardware kept in service longer. Servers and drives are reconditioned and reissued — not landfilled. ~15,000 servers and 12,000+ drives were given a second life in 2024 alone.
  • Auditable footprint, on request. If your client or ESG team needs per-project kgCO₂e for the platform, we can pull it from Scaleway's Environmental Footprint Calculator.
