5 AI tools that save contractors hours on bids

Hey —

Writing bids is where good crews lose evenings. Here are five tools from the Jobsite AI directory that cut that time without adding another full software stack.

  1. Handoff — Describe the remodel job; get a draft estimate and proposal to edit.
  2. Togal.AI — Upload plan PDFs and get automated area/quantity takeoffs in minutes.
  3. Roofr — Roof measurement reports + proposals (great if you're a roofer or GC bidding roofs).
  4. ChatGPT / Claude — Use our Bid & Proposal AI Kit prompts to turn site-walk notes into scope, exclusions and a cover letter.
  5. JobTread — Keep the estimate, schedule and job cost in one place so the bid doesn't die after you win it.
