Axiom Estimating LLC

Axiom Estimating is a "software-with-a-service" platform purpose-built to provide professional estimating and preconstruction solutions to the construction and engineering industries. Rather than functioning strictly as a standalone SaaS product, it operates as a comprehensive preconstruction command center that pairs an automated software engine with expert, outsourced estimating services. The platform is anchored in a "field-first" philosophy. It was engineered specifically to spot the qualifications, exclusions, and omissions that quietly kill project margins, prioritizing discipline and explicit risk management over simple convenience. The Software Platform Running on a robust Supabase database architecture, the Axiom platform provides heavy-duty tools for both trade contractors and General Contractors: Automated Takeoffs & AI Parsing: The system integrates 3D/BIM and IFC takeoff capabilities with AI-driven PDF parsing. This automatically standardizes drawing data into Imperial units and proactively flags scope gaps. Advanced Bid-Leveling: A comprehensive bid-leveling module allows for granular, side-by-side comparisons of subcontractor proposals, making it easy to identify hidden risks before numbers are finalized. Dynamic Costing & Pricing: Features full MasterFormat 2016 coverage, assembly-based pricing, and bulk CSI editing. The system also factors in location-based cost adjustments and sector-specific labor analysis. Workflow Management: Includes a dedicated Drawing Center, Assumption Builder, Trade Reassignment tools, and Vendor Management to keep the entire bidding process centralized and secure. Outsourced Preconstruction Services Beyond the digital infrastructure, Axiom provides professional preconstruction and project management support. This service branch operates as a scalable partner for construction firms—whether they are small trade contractors trying to grow or large GCs managing heavy backlogs. The outsourced team helps clear preconstruction bottlenecks, review bids for hidden liabilities, and finalize defensible estimates based on real-world field experience.

Bedrock Estimating

Bedrock Estimating is a cloud-native construction estimating platform designed to help contractors move from plan review to completed bids faster. It combines digital takeoff, cost estimating, assemblies, proposal generation, CRM, bid tracking, scheduling, and project collaboration in one browser-based system. Estimators can upload PDF plans and measure linear footage, area, volume, counts, and pier quantities directly on the drawings. Per-sheet scale calibration helps maintain accuracy across plan sets, while linked assemblies convert takeoff quantities into complete cost calculations for materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, production rates, crews, and man-hours. Bedrock includes a customizable cost database organized using CSI MasterFormat codes. Contractors can manage local labor rates, material pricing, equipment costs, subcontractor pricing, and composite crews based on how their company actually estimates work. Markups, overhead, profit, bonds, alternates, and pricing scenarios update in real time, giving teams a clear view of direct cost and final bid price. Once an estimate is complete, Bedrock can generate professional, branded proposals with customizable content, dynamic project information, and PDF export. Its built-in CRM and bid calendar help teams organize owners, general contractors, architects, contacts, due dates, follow-ups, and project opportunities without relying on separate spreadsheets or sales tools. Bedrock also supports visual scheduling, allowing estimate line items and assemblies to be converted into project tasks, milestones, crew assignments, durations, and timelines. Multi-user workspaces, role-based access, company-level data isolation, and real-time collaboration help estimating teams work together while keeping project and pricing information organized. Bedrock Estimating is built for concrete contractors, earthwork contractors, framing companies, MEP contractors, steel fabricators, drywall contractors, masonry contractors, roofing contractors, and self-performing general contractors. It is designed for construction businesses that want a modern alternative to disconnected PDF viewers, spreadsheets, legacy estimating software, and standalone proposal tools.
