AI Workshop Series #2 – From Takeoff to Bid: Catch Missed Scope. Keep the Margin.

October 28 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

$99

Use AI to cross-check your takeoff quantities and protect your margin.

Your estimate is only as good as your takeoff. And your margin is only as good as your estimate.

As an estimator, you face ongoing pressure from tight deadlines, complex specs, and the constant risk of missing scope or pricing something wrong.

This workshop shows you how to use AI to support your estimating process without handing over control. You’ll learn to turn specs and drawings into structured scope lists, cross-check quantities with AI, and run price checks off your rate library. You’ll keep the margin and final numbers where they belong — with you.

Why this matters: A missed scope item or a rate outlier can cost you thousands. This workshop gives you a repeatable process to catch those issues before they hit your bottom line.

You will learn how to:

Turn specs and drawings into a structured scope list so nothing gets missed and every item is priced or excluded on purpose
Use AI to cross-check your takeoff quantities — devices, fixtures, homeruns, and panels — against your own count, rather than relying on it as the final number
Run an independent price check off your rate library to catch missing scope and rate outliers
Keep the margin and final numbers where they belong: with you

👥 Ideal Audience: Estimators and operations leads who have some familiarity with AI and want to use it to support — not replace — their estimating process. While it’s strongly recommended that you attend Session 1: Data That Actually Works, if you missed it, you can access the recording in ECAO’s Learning Centre.
