Tender review for contractors

Never lose aconstruction bidto a missed line.

MESTRE turns a tender into one Bid Control Sheet, with the exact page behind every finding it can verify. Catch the missing addendum, the buried closing date, and the line that never made your pricing sheet—before it costs you the bid.

Anything it cannot verify stays flagged for your estimator to review.

3Decision

Your estimator makes the call.

A real tender check

Three risks the tender never contained.

On one real Ontario highway tender, a general-purpose AI flagged blasting, 24-hour operations, and a pipeline crossing. None appeared in the documents. MESTRE dropped all three because it would not state a requirement it could not tie to a page.

Limited supervised early access

Start with one real tender.

Early access is a guided product review—not a self-serve upload. We compare MESTRE’s first pass with how your estimator reads the same package.

Tell us about your company, your role, and the kind of tenders you estimate.

02

Choose one package

A closed or public tender with PDFs and an Excel pricing sheet works best.

03

Review it together

Your estimator checks MESTRE’s first pass against the real package and gives feedback.

Questions

Clear answers before you start.

01Does MESTRE replace an estimator?

No. MESTRE organizes the first tender review and shows the supporting evidence. Your estimator makes every final bid decision.

02What files can it read?

Early access supports multi-file PDF tender packages, addenda, and Excel pricing schedules. Quantity extraction means reading supplied pricing and quantity schedules—not automated takeoff from construction drawings.

03Does it guarantee a compliant bid?

No. MESTRE helps surface requirements, evidence, missing documents, and unresolved items. The contractor must still review the complete package and submission.

04Can I send a confidential tender package?

Contact MESTRE first. Document handling and privacy expectations are agreed before any non-public package is reviewed.
