AI bid intelligence for specialty contractors
TradeSkope connects project documents, takeoffs, field measurements, vendor RFQs, pricing logic and outcomes into one bidding system that gets smarter with every job.
Skilled estimators are expensive and difficult to replace. Critical knowledge lives in people, inboxes and disconnected files. Every bid begins with manual reconstruction—and small mistakes can erase a project's margin before work starts.
Manual document review slows bid capacity.
Trade knowledge disappears when people leave.
Disconnected tools never learn from outcomes.
THE PRODUCT
TradeSkope is being built as the intelligence layer across the complete specialty-contractor bid workflow—not another isolated point tool.
Turn plans, specifications and addenda into structured scope.
Organize quantities, assemblies, assumptions and exclusions.
Convert scope and field measurements into vendor-ready RFQs.
Bring pricing logic, risk and trade knowledge into one workflow.
Use history to strengthen the next estimate—not restart from zero.
The current MVP performs two high-friction tasks inside a live glazing operation.
Transforms plans and supporting documents into an organized takeoff package that an estimator can review and use.
Converts raw field measurements into a clear request for quotation—reducing rework, ambiguity and back-and-forth.
INTERNAL VALIDATION
Early validation is internal by design: test the workflows where the founder can inspect every output against real construction decisions.

The durable advantage is not a single AI feature. It is the data and decision trail created as scope, vendor pricing, estimator judgment and project outcomes stay connected over time.
FOUNDER
Oren Lang has spent more than 25 years working full-time in specialty construction. He grew up around Nathan's Glass and joined the business after graduating college in 1999, leading operations, estimating and project execution.
TradeSkope began as AI workflows built inside the operating glass company—not as software designed from the outside looking in.
