Construction firms struggle with labor shortages, rising material costs, and lengthy estimating times that can delay bids and reduce profitability.

Chetu Develops Repeatable Agentic AI Platform That Cuts Pre-construction Bid Time By Up To 70%
To address these challenges, Chetu, a global leader in AI and digital transformation solutions, has developed a repeatable agentic AI-powered Preconstruction Automation Framework for a construction firm that dramatically accelerates estimating times while improving consistency and accuracy.

Many construction firms still rely on legacy methods, including manual CAD and BIM interpretations, spreadsheets for cost estimation, disparate software systems, and experienced human estimators to prepare bids.

"The old way leads to inconsistent pricing, long bid turnaround times, and difficulty scaling estimates," said Ranjeet Kumar, Technical Project Manager at Chetu who oversees construction projects. These obstacles reduce competitiveness and negatively impact profitability.

"This successful implementation has enabled us to create a repeatable AI framework that we can tailor for construction firms of all sizes and specialties," he added. "As a result, new clients can save countless hours while producing bids in a fraction of the time with greater accuracy, leading to more winning bids and higher profits."

Kumar said companies usually receive an ROI within 6-12 months because of the potential workflow savings, which include:

40–60% reduction in manual effort

50–70?ster bid turnaround

20–35?wer estimation errors

15–30% higher estimator productivity

10–15% increase in bid win rates

The framework uses agentic AI technology, which minimizes human oversight, to analyze engineering drawings, BIM models, historical estimating data, and project documents to automatically generate quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, and bid proposals.

"Our agentic-AI-based Preconstruction Automation Framework assists construction firms in transforming one of their most capital-consuming processes," he added. "By automating engineering drawing analysis, quantity take-offs, pricing estimation, and proposal generation, the platform enables contractors to respond to opportunities faster while ensuring estimate consistency and profitability."

Chetu's framework offers benefits to a wide variety of construction-related companies, such as residential construction, commercial construction, civil infrastructure, general contractors, masonry contractors, specialty contractors, design-build firms, and engineering procurement and construction sectors.

To achieve faster project delivery, more accurate bids, and increase profitability, Chetu delivers an end-to-end agentic AI platform that automates every stage of the preconstruction process, including:

Engineering drawing analysis

AI-powered quantity takeoffs

Labor and material estimation

Proposal generation

ERP and CRM integration

Kumar said future enhancements could include AI-powered bid management, contract intelligence, procurement optimization, schedule risk prediction, change order intelligence, and construction copilots that help project teams make faster, more informed decisions from planning through project completion.
