For civil, earthworks & infrastructure contractors

Price the BOQ faster. Keep the margin in the rates.

airon agents draft schedule-of-rates estimates from your delivered jobs, flag latent risk and loose scope in the tender documents, and keep the evidence trail your government and principal clients expect — governed, human-signed, and private. No internal AI team required.

The maths every civil contractor is doing.

Five bids for every win

Civil hit ratios make every tender expensive — whether you pay a tender writer per bid or burn your own people's nights. Anything that cuts the cost per bid changes the economics of the whole pipeline.

Unit rates are the whole game

Schedule-of-rates work punishes stale numbers: plant rates, wet and dry hire, haulage, crew productivity. Price off last year's delivered costs and the margin is gone before the first cut.

Government clients want evidence

Prequalification, WHS systems, quality records, audit trails. Winning public work increasingly depends on showing the system behind the price — documented, current, and retrievable on demand.

Working example

The estimating agent, on film.

The recording shows Gauge, our estimating agent, working a building tender — the same pattern applies to a civil BOQ: read the documents, price from delivered-job history and current rates, flag latent-condition risk, ask the calls only an estimator should make, and draft with evidence attached. A civil pilot starts by teaching it your schedule of rates.

▸Documents to draft estimate with a source for every line
▸Latent risk and loose scope flagged before pricing
▸Human sign-off before anything is submitted

The pilot

Four to six weeks. One workflow. Your rates.

No platform rollout, no dependency on your (non-existent) IT department — a working agent on your bid desk, governed from day one, with a clean keep-or-stop decision at the end.

One workflow, end to end

BOQ intake to a draft schedule-of-rates estimate, priced from your delivered jobs, plant rates and subbie quotes — with provisional items flagged, not buried.

Your estimator stays in charge

The agent drafts and flags; your people question, adjust and sign. Nothing is submitted without human sign-off.

Metrics agreed before we build

Bids per month, cost per bid, estimate turnaround — measured against your current baseline, so the keep-or-stop call at the end is made on numbers.

Private by design

Deployable so unit rates, margins and job histories stay inside your environment — through to an on-premise appliance. Your rates book is the business.

Perth-based · working Australia-wide

Talk to someone who knows what a wet hire rate is.

We're in Perth and we turn up. The first step is a short audit of how your bid desk actually runs — where the cost per bid sits, where the rates book lives, and which single workflow a pilot should prove first.
