The Blue Claw Ecosystem · 2027

We built the system that runs our companies.
Now it can run yours.

One login, one set of numbers, and every tool a landscape or specialty contractor needs, from the first estimate to the final invoice. Built inside a real contracting company before it was ever sold to one.

05 · Meet AI Jamie

Jamie builds the estimate. You check it and send it.

Jamie is the AI estimator inside BidClaw. Nothing goes to a client until you approve it. Give him the job three ways:

1. Type the scopePlain words, like you would tell a foreman.
2. Drop in a planPDF or photo. He reads the dimensions and labels.
3. Walk the jobRecord it on your phone and talk it through.
What's in BidClaw now
Proposal Studio
Design the proposal: 4 styles, cover photo, letter, Good/Better/Best packages and a schedule. See which pages the client read.
Measure to scale
Set the scale on a plan, then measure areas, lengths and counts. Jamie suggests the takeoff and you confirm. Aerial map measuring in early access.
Renderings
Jamie paints the finished work onto a site photo, two versions in about a minute, ready for the proposal.
Jamie on every screen
Talk or type: "build me an estimate." He moves around BidClaw for you. Tuck him away anytime.
WIP journal entries
Each sold work area posts its journal entry to Construction WIP in QuickBooks. No hand-keyed entries.
Priced on your numbers
Every line uses your Know Your Numbers rates: your labor cost, overhead and margin.
