For commercial builders & fit-out contractors

Win more tenders with the estimating team you already have.

airon agents read the tender pack, price it against your delivered jobs and current rates, flag the margin risk, and hand your estimator an evidence-backed draft — so the tender desk stops being the bottleneck. Built and governed for you: no internal AI team required, and your pricing stays yours.

Three problems every mid-tier builder knows.

The tender desk caps your pipeline

Four-to-six-week tender windows, estimators stretched across live bids, and good tenders left unpriced. For most builders the constraint isn't the pipeline — it's estimating capacity.

Stale rates eat thin margins

Costs move faster than rate cards. A tender priced on last quarter's subbie quotes gives the margin back before the job starts — and on builder margins, one mispriced tender hurts for a year.

Paper trails decide disputes

Principal-contractor duties, SWMS evidence, variations, latent conditions. When it matters, you need who-knew-what-when from records — not from memory, six months later.

Working example

Meet Gauge, the estimating agent.

In the recording: Gauge reads an 84-page tender, indexes it against delivered projects, checks current rate cards, flags a latent-condition risk, asks the questions an estimator would — then drafts a priced estimate with every line traceable to a source.

The pilot

A pilot sized for a builder, not a bureaucracy.

Four to six weeks, one workflow, on your documents. No platform rollout, no eighteen-month program — a working agent on your tender desk with a clean keep-or-stop decision at the end.

One workflow, end to end

Tender intake to evidence-backed draft estimate, built on your delivered-job history, rate cards and subbie quotes — not generic data.

Your estimator stays in charge

The agent drafts and flags; your estimator questions, adjusts, and signs. Nothing goes out without human sign-off.

Metrics agreed before we build

Tenders per month, estimate turnaround, rework rate — measured against your current baseline, so the decision at the end is evidence, not vibes.

Private by design

Deployable so rate cards, margins and tender history stay inside your environment — through to an on-premise appliance. Your pricing IP is the business; it shouldn't train someone else's model.

Perth-based · working Australia-wide

Talk to someone who has read a tender.

We're in Perth — on your site, not on a video call — and we deploy Australia-wide. The first step is a short audit of how your tender desk actually runs: where the hours go, where the margin leaks, and which single workflow a pilot should prove first.
