The control boundary
AI gets the draft moving. You own the decisions.
Trowelbird is built to shorten the distance between drawings and a job you can inspect—not to make unreviewed promises on your behalf.
Get a cited first-pass takeoff from the plan set and a starting draft for bid language: introduction, scope, exclusions, and payment terms.
Review and edit quantities and scope, set unit prices and markup, control company details and terms, and decide what gets approved or sent.
One clear sequence
Every handoff from takeoff to job margin.
Inspect the scope, set the price, send the bid, then keep the financial picture visible as the work changes.
AI-assisted concrete takeoff
Upload a plan set and get a cited, reviewable first pass of the concrete quantities and scope. Unclear dimensions and issues stay visible for inspection.
Editable concrete estimate
Review and correct quantities, descriptions, units, and line items, then manually move the lines you trust into the estimator.
Your unit prices and markup
Set the unit prices, markup, and totals that fit your materials, labor, overhead, and way of pricing the work. Trowelbird calculates; you decide.
An editable client bid
Use an AI-written draft for the introduction, scope, exclusions, and payment terms. Add your company details, edit the language, and create a printable bid.
Client approval and typed signature
Share the bid for a client decision. Approval or decline is recorded, and an approving client can provide a typed signature for the bid record.
Change orders that stay connected
Track additions and removals, approval status, and the price, schedule, and contract impact as the scope changes.
Billing milestones and invoice status
Set deposit, progress, and final milestones, then keep the job billing view current with the statuses you record: unpaid, invoiced, or paid.
Job-cost tracking
Record material, labor, equipment, subcontractor, and other costs against the job so the financial story keeps up with the work.
Profitability visibility
Compare revised contract value and recorded costs to see gross margin and margin percentage for the job as it stands.
The bid handoff
Client-ready does not mean locked away from you.
Start with an AI-written draft, then shape the document your client actually sees. Company details, scope, exclusions, payment terms, pricing, and the printable output remain part of your review.

After approval
Keep the job visible as the work changes.
A client decision is a handoff, not the end of the record. Trowelbird keeps the approved bid, change orders, milestone statuses, recorded costs, and profitability view close enough to compare.
Billing visibility
Record milestone status so you can see what is unpaid, invoiced, or paid. This is job visibility—not an automatic collection promise.
Margin visibility
Add job costs and compare them with revised contract value to understand the current gross margin view.
