A bid set lands. The clock starts. Most of it goes to markup, not estimating.
If your team estimates glazing and curtain wall work, bid doc prep is costing you speed, deadlines, and bids won — and it has nothing to do with how good your estimators are.
Most of the time goes to markup, not estimating
Before anyone can price a job, someone has to walk the elevations, cross-reference the Division 8 spec, build the door schedule, and match each door to its hardware set. That work consumes the estimator before the estimate even starts.
Basis-of-design substitutions get missed
Division 8 specs bury substitution restrictions, PE submittal requirements, warranty terms, and standards across hundreds of pages. Miss one and you're pricing a system the architect won't approve — or catching it after the bid is submitted.
Prep time caps how many jobs you can bid
Manual prep doesn't compress, no matter how experienced your estimators are. When three bid sets land the same week, one gets rushed or passed on. Those are invisible losses that compound over a quarter.
Your best estimators spend hours on the most routine part
The person who can catch a spec conflict and price a complex curtain wall system correctly is also the one building door schedules and cross-referencing hardware sets and product specs against the elevations. That's where the day goes, before the expertise even kicks in.
How it works
Send us the plans. Get a head start on the bid. Here's what happens.
We reply in 15 minutes
Marked-up plans ready for Bluebeam, plus a draft estimating workbook with your door schedule, hardware sets, and product requirements pulled from the spec. Start pricing immediately — not after a day of takeoffs.
Your plans, marked up and ready
Storefronts, curtain wall, and windows called out right on the drawings. Open in Bluebeam and verify at a glance — nothing goes out the door unchecked.
Review, price, send
Everything we found is already in your workbook. Check it against the drawings, drop in your numbers, and the bid's out — same judgment, a fraction of the hours.
Door Schedules
Every door: mark, room, type, size, material, finish, fire rating, and hardware set.
Hardware Sets
Each set itemized with model numbers and quantities, matched to the doors that use it.
Product Details

Where Streamline changes the work
The same bottleneck shows up at different points in the bid workflow. Here's what it looks like in practice.
Your estimators spend hours on markup before pricing starts
The situation
A plan set and Division 8 spec land. Before anyone can price, someone reads the elevations, cross-references the spec, builds the door schedule, and matches each door to its hardware set. On a 200-page bid set, bid prep can run six hours before pricing even begins.
What Streamline does
- Reads the full plan set and Division 8 spec, extracting what's relevant to your scope
- Builds your door schedule and matches every door to its hardware set, with model numbers and quantities
- Pre-populates your bid doc template with products, approved manufacturers, warranties, and standards, cited to the spec page
- Flags basis-of-design restrictions, approved-equal rules, and PE submittal requirements before your estimator opens the file
- Trained on your product line so it knows what applies and what doesn't
The result
Your estimator opens structured bid docs instead of a blank sheet. The prep is done. They review, price, and submit.
15 min
Average time from plan + spec to prepped bid docs — no manual markup.
Built for how glazing bids actually move
Streamline has been live with glazing estimators at GlassBuild 2026, reading the same plans and Division 8 specs your team works from every day.

Why glazing contractors choose Streamline
Implementation is handled by our team, not yours. We learn your systems, your bid doc templates, and how your architects write specs.
We do the work to get you live
You don't configure Streamline yourself. Our team learns how your estimators work, maps your spec formats, and builds the integration. No internal IT project, no months of setup.
Built around your systems, not a generic template
Streamline is trained on your product line, your bid doc templates, and the Division 8 formats your architects actually use. What's relevant to a curtain wall bid looks nothing like a storefront job — and it won't treat them the same.
Fits into how your team already works
Your estimators don't change their workflow. Plans still arrive the same way. Bids still go out the same way. Streamline handles the markup in between.
Your data stays in your environment
Deploy on your infrastructure — on-prem, private cloud, or your VPC. Your bid documents, your pricing, your customer data — none of it leaves your environment.
