How to review an estimate with AI

Using AI to review is a great way to start and gaps in an estimate are cheaper to find before you submit than after you've won the job and are building them at your own cost.

I gave Claude the bid folder, including the estimate and a register of all requirements in the documents. It came back with 26 items that weren't ready to go.

The four checks:

- Is everything priced?

- Is anything priced twice?

- Does the maths tie?

- Do the price and programme match the contract?

I don't blindly fix all 26 it's a starting point into what to look into more deeply into. There will be some that I know where sorted somehwre else but more than likely they'll be a couple of good catches.

If you want to grab the skill used you'll find it in our community ContractorOS.

I go through the whole thing in the video.
