The problem

Takeoff shows what's counted.
Corvello shows what's exposed.

Missed quantity is not the only way bids lose money. Unclear scope, buried spec requirements, vague ownership, and weak proposal language can survive review and damage margin after the bid is won.

Estimating software builds the number.
Corvello defends the bid.

Corvello Risk Intelligence

Find the risks your estimate doesn't show.

Corvello reviews every package across drawings, specifications, addenda, and proposal instructions to surface what matters. Findings are confidence-scored, source-cited, and filtered for action before submission.

01Step

Upload the bid package

Drawings, specs, addenda, alternates, proposal instructions, and estimator context stay connected in one review.

02Step

Corvello reviews the package

Drawings, specifications, addenda, and proposal instructions are reviewed together so the risk shows up before submission.

03Step

Review and harden the bid

Accept, reject, or edit source-cited findings before they become exclusions, clarifications, assumptions, or RFIs.

What it catches

Built for real bid risk, with source-cited findings your team can act on.

Corvello cross-references drawings, specifications, addenda, and proposal instructions to surface the exposure quantity counts miss.

01

Hidden scope risk

Cost exposure that is implied by the package but easy to miss when takeoff is focused on quantities.

Examples

Temporary power, firestopping, cutting and patching, core drilling.

02

Ownership ambiguity

Responsibility gaps where furnish, install, wire, program, commission, or pay is not nailed down.

Examples

Div 26 / 27 / 28 overlap, fire alarm, access control, lighting controls.

03

Buried spec requirements

Specification language that adds labor, coordination, warranty, testing, closeout, or procurement burden.

Examples

Commissioning, permits, arc flash labels, O&M manuals, owner training.

04

Proposal exposure

Weak proposal language that leaves someone else to define your scope after award.

Examples

Premium time, utility fees, shutdowns, AHJ costs, coordination allowances.

Structured output

Not a chat. Not a summary.
A structured bid-risk analysis.

Every finding cites the source, explains the exposure, and gives you proposal-ready support before submission.

Built for

Electrical contractors who carry the risk when a bid does not hold.

01

Chief Estimators

Too many bids in flight to review every risk line by line.

02

Senior Estimators

Complex packages, tight deadlines, and no second set of eyes.

03

Preconstruction Managers

Accountable when a winning bid does not hold up after award.

04

Owner-Estimators

Running the business and estimating, with no room for silent scope.

Security

Built for confidential bid work

Corvello is designed around private company workspaces, controlled document access, and reviewable outputs — so your team can analyze bid risk without treating sensitive bid packages like disposable chat prompts.

Corvello

Private workspaces

Each company works inside its own workspace. New users from the same company domain require approval before accessing prior analyses.

Corvello

Private document handling

Bid packages are stored in private project paths, with server-side checks around document access and upload promotion.

Corvello

Source-backed review

Findings include page references, source excerpts, and structured proposal-defense language so estimators can verify before using the output.

Corvello

Operational traceability

Important actions like member approvals, analysis events, finding decisions, and plan changes are recorded for auditability.

Pricing

Priced by the office, not the seat.

Every plan covers one company workspace with unlimited collaborators. Price scales with bid volume — how many packages your office runs through Corvello each month.
