How It Works

Three steps. No account needed.

Upload your tender document, pick your trade, and download a structured takeoff spreadsheet. The AI reads every page so you don't have to.

01

Upload Your Tender PDF

Drag and drop any Ontario tender package, municipal bid document, or OPSS-based spec. Up to 50MB. No signup required for your first scan.

02

Pick Your Trade

Filter by All Trades, Sewer & Drainage, Road & Paving, Structural/Concrete, or Electrical. The AI focuses on items relevant to your scope.

03

Download Your Spreadsheet

Get a formatted XLSX with every line item, quantity, unit, spec reference, provisional flags, and confidence scores. Ready for your pricing.

What You Get

More than raw extraction.
Construction intelligence.

MESTRE doesn't just pull numbers from a PDF. It understands OPSS specifications, flags what's missing, and tells you what to watch for.

Every Line Item Extracted

Item numbers, descriptions, quantities, units, and spec references pulled from schedule pages automatically. Structured by trade.

OPSS Compliance Notes

For every spec reference found, MESTRE shows what that OPSS requires — bedding classes, compaction standards, gradation specs. Context that ChatGPT can't provide.

Missing Item Warnings

Common items that should be in the tender but aren't. Erosion control, dewatering, traffic control — flagged before you miss them in your bid.

Provisional Item Flagging

Provisional and contingency items highlighted in yellow. Know which quantities may not be built so you price accordingly.

Confidence Scores

Every extracted item has a confidence rating. High confidence items are ready for pricing. Low confidence items need manual verification. No guessing.

Formatted Excel Output

Download a structured XLSX organized by trade. Columns: Item No, Spec Ref, Description, Qty, Unit, Provisional, Confidence. Ready for your estimating workflow.

Try It

Upload a tender. See the result.

Your first scan shows a free preview of 10 extracted items. Pay to download the full spreadsheet.

OPSS Intelligence

The layer that makes MESTRE
different from ChatGPT.

Powered by 280+ indexed Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications. Every extraction comes with compliance context and missing item analysis.

Compliance Notes (sample)

OPSS 206 Grading — earth excavation tolerances, compaction per OPSS 501
OPSS 410 Storm/sanitary sewers — pipe bedding classes, trench width requirements
OPSS 1010 Aggregates — Granular A/B gradation requirements
OPSS 501 Compacting — density requirements by material type and lift thickness
OPSS 904 Topsoil — depth requirements, seed mix, maintenance period

Missing Item Warnings (sample)

⚠ This tender does not include erosion control items — typical for this project type. Consider adding provisional allowance.
⚠ No dewatering item found — verify site conditions before pricing.
⚠ Traffic control plan referenced but no schedule item for traffic management — confirm with owner.
⚠ No restoration items for disturbed areas — common omission in municipal tenders.

FAQ

Common questions.

What documents can I upload?
Ontario tender packages, municipal bid documents, and any OPSS-based specification documents in PDF format. Max 50MB per file.
How accurate is it?
High accuracy on standard tender schedules with explicitly stated quantities. Always verify critical quantities — MESTRE is a first-pass tool that saves hours, not a replacement for your judgment.
What trades do you support?
All trades. Best results on sewer/drainage, road/paving, structural/concrete, and electrical. More trade-specific filters coming soon.
Can I try it free?
Yes. Your first scan shows a free preview of 10 extracted items with full OPSS compliance notes. Pay to download the complete spreadsheet.
Is my data secure?
Documents are processed and deleted within 24 hours. We never share, store, or train on your tender data.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can't read tender PDFs reliably, doesn't know OPSS specs, can't flag missing items, doesn't output formatted Excel spreadsheets, and hallucinates quantities. MESTRE is purpose-built for Canadian tender extraction with a hybrid AI+rules engine.
About MESTRE

Master craftsman.

MESTRE means "master craftsman" in Portuguese and Italian. It reflects the standard every output is held to: precision, clarity, and respect for the trade.

Built by a Canadian civil engineer who spent years reading 400-page tender specs, extracting quantities by hand, and watching hours disappear into manual takeoffs. The frustration wasn't unique — every contractor and estimator in the industry faces the same grind. The difference was the decision to fix it.

MESTRE combines real construction engineering knowledge with AI trained on 280+ Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications to deliver tools that actually understand how Canadian tenders work — because the person behind it does.
