Yes. Corten Technologies is AI bid leveling software that reads the subcontractor proposals and vendor quotes you already receive, pulls out the numbers and scope, and loads them into trade worksheets that roll up to a single bid sheet. Every entry is queued for your review, so you compare bids apples-to-apples on canonical bid-total math instead of retyping quotes into a spreadsheet.
Bid leveling is the process of normalizing competing subcontractor bids to the same scope so they can be compared fairly; Corten does it by reading the actual quote documents, extracting the numbers and scope into per-trade worksheets, and rolling them into one bid sheet for human review.
Reads the bids you already get
Corten's AI reads subcontractor proposals and vendor quotes as documents and pulls out the pricing and scope. You stop retyping numbers from PDFs and emails into a spreadsheet.
Normalizes into trade worksheets
Extracted quotes flow into the right trade worksheet so competing bids line up by scope. You see each sub's number in context instead of comparing mismatched formats.
Rolls up to one bid sheet
Trade worksheets roll into a single bid sheet with canonical bid-total math, markups, and profit, so the total is consistent and you can level bids side by side.
Human review, not blind auto-fill
Every AI-read value is queued for your review before it lands. You confirm or correct each entry, so the comparison is accurate and you stay in control of the numbers.
The winning number carries forward
Once you pick a sub, Corten drafts the proposal from the winning numbers with scope written from that sub's quote, and the data flows on into budget, schedule, and invoicing. Enter once, use everywhere.
Frequently asked
Does Corten do drawing or quantity takeoff?
No. Corten does not read blueprints, count symbols, or measure plans. It works from the sub bids and vendor quotes you receive; treat takeoff as an upstream input, and see a dedicated takeoff tool's site for that capability.
How is this different from leveling bids in a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet still needs you to type every number out of each quote by hand. Corten's AI reads the quote documents and loads the numbers into trade worksheets for you, then rolls them up with consistent bid-total math.
Do I have to trust the AI's numbers?
No. Every value the AI reads is queued for your review before it counts. You approve or edit each entry, so you always control the numbers you compare and send.
How much does it cost, and is the AI extra?
AI is included in every plan at no add-on cost. Plans are flat: Solo $99/mo, Crew $229/mo, and General Contractor $449/mo, with a 14-day free trial. Enterprise (21+ users) is custom.
