Bid More Jobs, Same Team.
Plans and specs — prepped and reviewed in 15 minutes.
Streamline reads your plans and Division 8 spec, identifies products, manufacturers, and warranty terms, and pulls hardware schedules — so your estimators price faster and submit more bids.

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, and manually identify glass types, hardware schedules, and manufacturer specs. That work consumes the estimator before the estimate even starts.
Basis-of-design substitutions get missed
Division 8 specs bury substitution restrictions, warranty terms, and required symbols 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 cross-referencing hardware schedules and product specs against the elevations. That's where the day goes, before the expertise even kicks in.
Plans in. Bid docs out. Your estimator prices the job, not the drawings.
Streamline learns your product line and how architects write Division 8 specs. It handles the markup so your team can focus on the price.
Plans and spec come in
A plan set and Division 8 spec land by email or portal. Streamline picks them up and starts reading immediately.
Works with how your team already receives bid documents. No new inbox, no process change.
Division 8 requirements extracted
Streamline reads the spec and elevations and pulls out glass types, hardware schedules, basis-of-design, alternate manufacturers, warranty terms, and required symbols.
Trained on your systems and the spec formats your architects typically use.
Bid docs prepped for review
The extracted products, hardware schedules, and requirements are mapped into your bid doc template. Your estimator opens a draft that's already structured and applies judgment.
The AI handles the markup. Your estimator handles the price. Neither steps on the other.
Bid out the door
What used to take hours of markup now takes a fraction of it. Your estimator reviews and submits. More bids, same headcount.
Four weeks from kickoff to go-live. We integrate with your existing estimating and bid tools.
Average time from plan + spec to prepped bid docs.
The same documents your estimators already read, just without the manual markup.

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, and manually identifies glass types, hardware schedules, and manufacturer specs. On a 200-page bid set, that's two to three hours before pricing even begins.
What Streamline does
- Reads the full plan set and Division 8 spec, extracting what's relevant to your scope
- Pre-populates your bid doc template with glass types, hardware schedules, and manufacturer specs
- Flags basis-of-design restrictions and required substitutions 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.
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.
