The RFP Is Due Friday. Your Takeoff Is Still in a Spreadsheet.

Contractors across fire protection, HVAC, roofing, and construction are losing RFPs they should be winning — not because of price, but because of process. Something's changing.

For GCs managing multiple subcontractor scopes, the takeoff-to-RFP problem is multiplied. They're aggregating estimates from multiple trades, coordinating quantities, checking for scope gaps and overlaps, and producing a coordinated bid package — often while running 3 other jobs.


The manual work isn't just time-consuming. It's where mistakes get made that affect the project months later.

Something Is Changing

RenderDraw has been in the field with contractors in each of these trades. We've watched the spreadsheets. We've seen the late-night proposal pushes. We've heard the same sentence in every conversation: "There has to be a better way to get from the takeoff to the bid."


There is. And we're almost done building it.


We're not adding features to an old tool. We're building the missing layer — the one that reads your takeoff and produces a proposal-ready output, connected to your drawings, your pricing, and your brand.


The contractors who see it first will have an edge. The ones who keep copying numbers into templates will wonder where their pipeline went.

Be Among the First

We're opening early access to contractors who want to see what the new process looks like before everyone else does.


If you're in fire protection, HVAC, roofing, or general construction and you're tired of losing Friday nights to proposal formatting — this conversation is for you.
