Every finding traced to the governing clause
Reads the full document set and shows coverage
Built for construction standards: NS, AB, YSE, NEC, FIDIC
Connecting text, quantities, drawings, models and images
Trusted by leading construction teams for clearer commitments and a competitive edge
Most construction teams run one of four approaches to reading and pricing a tender, often without seeing what it costs them in missed obligations and eroded margin.
Approach 1
Manual review & spreadsheets
Reading PDFs by eye, Control-F, and Excel trackers. Thorough people, but slow, hard to repeat, and easy to miss an addendum or an override.
Approach 2
Generic AI
ChatGPT, Copilot or Claude. Fast for drafting and context, but it reads selectively, its citations are approximate, and it cannot answer for a review.
Approach 3
Project & CDE tools
Procore, Aconex and their peers. Built to govern projects after contract: documents, workflows, correspondence. Not built for the pre-award review.

Approach 4
Volve
AI tendering intelligence for construction. Reads the full set, traces every finding to the governing clause, and shows coverage before you price.
How the four approaches compare on the work that actually decides a bid.
Built for it
The six differences that decide whether a review holds up when it matters.
Traced to the clause, not an approximate citation
Every finding links to the exact clause it rests on, in the current governing version, aware of addenda and overrides.
The full set, not a selective read
Volve reads everything and shows coverage, surfacing the gaps and contradictions you did not think to ask about.
Construction-native, not general knowledge
Understands how scope, risk, quantities, schedule and contract terms relate, and supports NS, AB, YSE, NEC and FIDIC.
One baseline, not a personal chat
A single traceable record of findings, assumptions and risks that the whole tender team works from.
Portfolio memory, not a blank page
Every tender starts from what the last ten taught you: what was assumed, what it cost, and how you wrote it.
Your data, controlled per project
Enterprise-level access control, data residency and boundaries set per project. Confidential tender material stays yours.
