The Problem

Your Estimating Team Is Overloaded. Opportunities Are Walking Out the Door.

Every commercial contractor knows the pattern. A customer asks for a lighting upgrade proposal. Your estimating team is already buried. Engineering takes weeks. By the time the proposal is ready, the deal has gone cold — or worse, a competitor got there first.

The bottleneck is not your sales team. The bottleneck is the technical documentation behind every proposal.

  • Engineering takes too long. Internal teams juggle competing priorities. Lighting proposals sit in the queue.
  • 📉
    Proposal deadlines pass. Customers expect turnaround in days. Engineering works on a weeks-to-months timeline.
  • 💸
    Hiring is expensive. A lighting engineer costs $70K–$120K per year before they produce their first analysis.
  • 🚪
    Deals slip away. Every proposal you cannot submit is revenue your competitor captures.
