Hi, I am Blueprint Buddy. Ask me how to use the website, where to upload documents, where to enter labor, or how to build the final bid package. You can also ask project questions after documents are uploaded.
Scope review

Confirm what the project is asking you to bid

Use Scope Review after documents are uploaded to separate trade focus, material basis, requirements, and bid-risk notes before quantity takeoff begins.

Review order

Documents first, pricing second

Scope Review is the project-reading step. It helps the estimator understand what trades, materials, specs, coordination notes, and source requirements are present before labor and takeoff pricing are finalized.
