OUR VISION
One workspace for
the work before
the build.
Preconstruction takes judgment. Understanding a project, questioning a proposal, and knowing what a number leaves out all take experience.
We’re building Prestead to give that experience more room to work.
Your team’s judgment
01CONNECTED WORK
Your work should
carry forward.
Estimators spend too much time moving information between drawings, proposals, and spreadsheets. As a project changes, they have to reconcile that information again.
We see a future where the work stays connected. Quantities inform scope. Scope gives bids context. Revisions carry through the comparison. The reasoning behind a decision stays with the project.
Prestead is being built to become the workspace where preconstruction teams do that work.
02VISIBLE REASONING
AI should make the
work easier to check.
Speed matters. So does being able to explain the result.
We believe AI should handle the repetitive first pass, surface differences that need attention, and show the information behind its findings. Uncertainty should be visible. Corrections should remain part of the work.
Your team brings the project knowledge, owns the assumptions, and makes the decisions.
03WHERE WE START
A bigger vision.
A practical first step.
We’re starting with bid leveling and building toward a single workspace for preconstruction—from the first review of a project through the decisions that get it ready to build.
Bid Leveling
Compare subcontractor bid PDFs against your own scope sheet. Review quoted evidence, enter your adjustments, and export the comparison.

Next, we’re building tools to measure quantities from drawings. Another step toward keeping your preconstruction work connected.
