Your estimators are burning weekends on proposal mechanics, not winning bids.

An RFP lands. Your team spends 15 to 25 hours per response on technical writing, boilerplate assembly, and formatting. The hours that should go to pricing strategy and technical accuracy are lost to chasing past project details and fighting with Word.

Generic AI tools don't help. They don't know what ASME Section IX means. They don't know an outage window from a shutdown. They produce slop that has to be rewritten anyway.

From RFP receipt to polished draft in two days.

A structured workflow that pairs industrial PM expertise with AI-assisted drafting. Built specifically for the language, codes, and customer expectations of industrial contracting.

/01 INTAKE

Forward the RFP

Send the solicitation through a secure intake. We extract scope, deliverables, technical requirements, evaluation criteria, mandatory forms, and red flags.

Hour 0 — automatic
/02 DRAFT

We build the proposal

Executive summary, scope of work, technical approach, schedule narrative, safety plan, key personnel, Q&A questions. Drafted from your boilerplate library, formatted in your template.

Hours 1–24
/03 DELIVERY

You add pricing & submit

Your team receives the draft, reviews technical accuracy, adds pricing and commercial terms, and submits to the customer. We never touch pricing.

Hour 48 — yours

Clear ownership, clean handoff.

Heavy bidders, multi-division shops, dedicated boilerplate management. Quoted per scope.

One-time onboarding fee of $1,500 covers the structured intake of your boilerplate library — past projects, personnel bios, certifications, safety stats, voice and tone. Onboarding pays for itself within the first two proposals.

Built by a project professional, not a marketing agency.

Bidwerks is run by a certified project management professional with a decade of experience managing complex industrial projects — power generation, oil and gas, mechanical, electrical, and process work. We've sat on the contractor side of the table, written proposals at 11pm, and watched estimators lose weekends to formatting and boilerplate.

The service was built around a simple observation: the technical writing, RFP analysis, and document assembly that consumes most of the proposal effort can be handled by domain-trained AI plus a structured boilerplate library. Generic tools don't know industrial work. This one does.

Answers before you get on the call.

How does this work with our existing proposal process?

It plugs in. We handle the technical writing, RFP analysis, and document assembly that consume the most time. Your estimators handle pricing, your PMs handle technical sign-off, and your team submits to the customer. Nothing about your current workflow needs to change — you just spend less time on the parts that don't add value.

How do you protect our boilerplate library and bid information?

Mutual NDA signed before any RFP touches the system. Your boilerplate stays in a workspace shared with you, not stored or repurposed elsewhere. AI processing runs through enterprise-tier APIs with no model training on your data. Specifics are in the NDA — happy to walk through the data flow on the discovery call.

What if you don't know our specific trade or specialty?

The service is built around your boilerplate library, not generic templates. During onboarding we ingest your past projects, personnel bios, certifications, capabilities, and voice. The AI drafts from that material. If you're a refractory contractor, the proposal sounds like a refractory contractor. If you're an industrial electrician, it sounds like one.

What does the contractor's estimating team need to do?

Forward the RFP, complete a 30-minute intake call to walk through any project-specific notes, then review the draft when it arrives. Total time investment from your side: about 90 minutes per proposal. Your estimator adds pricing and any final technical adjustments before submission.

Why offer the first proposal free?

Industrial buyers don't trust new vendors on promises. The free pilot lets you see the actual draft quality on a real RFP before committing to anything. If the work isn't useful, you've lost a few hours of intake time. If it is, we talk pricing. No contract until you've seen the work.

What about RFPs with non-disclosure or government clearance requirements?

Standard commercial RFPs and most public utility solicitations are fine. ITAR, classified, or DoD CUI work is out of scope. If you're not sure whether a specific RFP fits, ask before forwarding — we'll review the cover requirements together.

Send your next RFP. First one's free.

15-minute discovery call to confirm fit, then a real pilot on a real proposal. No contract until you've seen the work.
