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.

Founded by Mohit Mohan, Palcode works directly with preconstruction leaders to translate field-level bid management pain points into governed, AI-powered workflows that scale across projects.

CASE STUDY

Proven in High-Volume Commercial Construction

Before Palcode, my team spent hours chasing subs for responses and documents. Now, solicitation, follow-ups, and onboarding run on their own. We hit 24% vendor engagement across six projects — the industry norm is 8–12%. More trades responding means more competition on every bid.

Workflow Tools

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.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is palcode?

Palcode is an AI-powered preconstruction platform for general contractors. It deploys AI workers — SolicitationPal, BidPackagePal, BidLevelingPal, and VendorOnboardingPal — to automate the full bid management lifecycle from subcontractor ITB outreach through bid leveling and post-award vendor onboarding.

Who is Palcode built for?

Palcode is built for preconstruction teams at general contracting firms — specifically estimators, bid coordinators, and preconstruction managers who manage subcontractor bidding, scope preparation, and vendor qualification on commercial construction projects.

What construction tools does Palcode integrate with?

Palcode integrates with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Google Drive, and Egnyte. It syncs project data, documents, and vendor information without replacing your existing stack.

How is Palcode different from Procore or BuildingConnected?

Procore and BuildingConnected are broad project management platforms with bidding as one module. Palcode is purpose-built for preconstruction bid workflows — AI workers handle ITB outreach, bid leveling, scope gap detection, and vendor onboarding end-to-end, rather than providing a dashboard for manual coordination.

What results have construction teams seen with Palcode?

In active deployments, Palcode has achieved 24% subcontractor engagement rates (vs. 8–12% industry average), managed approximately 1,300 automated touchpoints per project, and saved GC teams 38–64 hours per month in bid coordination time.
