The problem
A renovation contractor in Rabat spends a full week pricing each tender: reading specs, listing work items, looking up unit prices. Slow quotes mean lost tenders.
The solution, step by step
- Maintain the unit price library in Airtable: work items, materials, labor rates, margins by project type.
- Upload the client spec (PDF) to a Make scenario that extracts the text.
- Claude reads the spec, breaks it into standard work items, and matches each to the Airtable price library with quantities.
- The output is a draft bill of quantities; the estimator reviews unmatched items and adjusts quantities.
- Make generates the final quote document with company branding, totals and payment terms.
- Quoting time cut from 5 days to less than one.
- The company answers 3x more tenders with the same team.
- Fewer forgotten line items, protecting 2 to 5% of margin per project.
