Changelog

We're serious about building the pre-construction platform that construction managers, developers, and owners actually want to use. Just 2.5 weeks after our initial beta launch, we are excited to push out Beta 0.2.0 with all new features to improve the platform.

Features included in Beta 0.2.0:

1. Alternates & Breakout Costs
Tired of being locked into rigid CSI cost codes? So were we. Now you can create custom line items—including proper formatting for alternates (add/deducts) and breakout costs. Heres the game changer: These items sit outside the base bid, giving you the granular details you need without cluttering the main numbers. Want to see how adding that upgraded HVAC system affects each contractor's total? Just toggle it on. Real-time calculations mean you can test different scenarios instantly, not after hours in a spreadsheet.

2. Bid Review Page Revamp
Our initial Beta bid review was functional. Beta 0.2.0's version is transformational. We didn't just improve it—we reimagined what bid comparison should look like:
Smart Color Coding: High and low line items are instantly visible. No more squinting at numbers to spot the patterns.
Automatic Variance Detection: Set your sensitivity (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%+) and watch outliers jump off the page. That electrical bid that's suspiciously low? You'll spot it immediately.
Dynamic Column Control: Hide contractors who aren't in the running. Focus on your top choices. Compare however makes sense for your decision-making process.The best part? Everything updates in real time. Change an alternate, adjust a line item, hide a column—the entire analysis adapts instantly.
Team Collaboration: Leave comments directly on specific line items on bid review page. No more "Hey, did you notice..." Team's messages or email chains about why contractor X's plumbing number seems off. Keep the conversation right where the data lives.
