Tenderfly

Points schedules from tender documents, not from scratch.

Tenderfly reads your mechanical specifications, equipment schedules and control schematics. It extracts every tagged item, matches IO templates, and produces a full points list ready for your estimator to review.

What it does

Upload a tender pack. Get back a full equipment list with AI, DI, AO, DO and HL counts per item.

Metering integration is handled automatically. The pipeline reads narrative specifications for sub-meter counts and panel topology, not just individually tagged meters. Gateways, BACnet and Modbus points, panel counts and scope rules are all built in.

Your estimator reviews the result, corrects the items that need their judgement, and exports a priced proposal with a scope of works written from those decisions. Every point cites the page and sentence in the tender it came from, so checking the first draft is quick. The slog of reading every page, counting every sensor and building the schedule from scratch is done.

What it handles

  • Mechanical specifications: equipment lists, metering strategies, panel topology, BACnet/Modbus requirements
  • Equipment schedules: tagged items with quantities, models, and IO columns
  • Control schematics: sensor and actuator counts, integration architecture
  • Ventilation drawings: AHUs, VAVs, HRVs, extract systems
  • VRF schematics: outdoor units, indoor units, branch controllers, gateway integration
  • Heating schematics: boilers, ASHPs, pressurisation units, pumps

Who it's for

Commercial directors and estimating teams at BMS contractors who tender for anything from schools to large mixed-use developments. If your team builds estimates by hand from PDF tender documents, Tenderfly produces the first draft for them.

Results

96% point accuracy on a 908-point mixed-use commercial development with 80 tender documents, within a few percent of a professional estimator. Consistent, repeatable results across multiple runs of the same project.

Validated against an experienced BMS estimator’s manual estimate on live commercial tenders.
