AI Workers for Preconstruction
Palcode builds AI Workers that automate preconstruction workflows for general contractors — starting with bid management. From subcontractor ITBs to bid leveling to vendor onboarding, your AI Workers handle the coordination so your estimators handle the estimating.

AI Workers for Construction Bid Management & Preconstruction Automation
Palcode builds AI Workers that automate preconstruction workflows for general contractors. Four AI Workers — SolicitationPal, BidPackagePal, BidLevelingPal, and VendorOnboardingPal — run the full bid management lifecycle: subcontractor ITB outreach, scope sheet generation, bid leveling, and post-award vendor onboarding. They replace the email threads, spreadsheets, and phone calls your team shouldn’t be spending time on.
Your estimators are leveling bids by hand, chasing subs by email, and tracking responses in spreadsheets. AI Workers take over that coordination.
From the first ITB to the final vendor qualification — one automated preconstruction workflow, not five disconnected tools.

Tools
- AI-POWERED
SolicitationPal™
AI-Powered Subcontractor ITB Outreach, Follow-Ups & Bid Coverage Optimization
SolicitationPal sends ITB invitations to qualified subcontractors across email, SMS, and voice — tracks every response, manages follow-ups on your schedule, and logs all vendor communication in one place. No more chasing subs through email threads or voicemails.
- Replaces: Manual ITB emails, phone follow-ups, Excel bid tracking, scattered inboxes.
- SCOPE GENERATION WORKER
BidPackagePal™
AI Worker for Scope Sheet & Bid Package Preparation
BidPackagePal reads your project drawings and specifications, then generates trade-specific scope sheets organized by CSI division with inclusions, exclusions, and special conditions pre-populated. Subs get clear bid packages. You get bids you can actually compare.
- Replaces: Copy-pasting scope language from past projects, inconsistent bid packages, the "I didn't see that in the scope" conversation after award.
- BID LEVELING WORKER
BidLevelingPal™
AI Worker for Bid Comparison & Scope Gap Detection
BidLevelingPal compares incoming subcontractor bids against your scope, line by line. It flags missing items, pricing anomalies, exclusions, and scope gaps — then produces a normalized leveling sheet. The AI Worker does the comparison in seconds. Your estimator makes the award decision.
- Replaces: Manual bid leveling spreadsheets, missed exclusions, scope gaps that become change orders after concrete is poured.
- ONBOARDING WORKER
VendorOnboardingPal™
AI Worker for Post-Award Vendor Qualification & Compliance
VendorOnboardingPal takes over after the bid is awarded. It collects COIs, W-9s, safety certs, and signed contracts from the winning sub — follows up automatically on missing documents and routes completed packages for approval. Awarded to qualified, without your team sending a single chase email.
- Replaces: Document collection over email, compliance tracking in spreadsheets, delayed project starts from incomplete vendor paperwork.
