# AI Preconstruction Survey for General Contractors

Ask the right questions on every project, and make the next one better

Piper applies company survey questions on every project, using project and company context to help complete preconstruction workflows.

It is not a generic form tool: it uses project and company context to help complete preconstruction workflows.

It is for general contractor preconstruction teams, especially estimators and preconstruction managers.

Answers stay with the project understanding, and findings carry through the workflows they affect.

## Turn your company's experience into a repeatable survey that captures what the team learns and improves over time.

### Today

The same questions on every job, answered differently each time. Fast projects skip the survey; slow ones bury answers in email threads.

### With Piper

Your company questions applied consistently. Answers organized with the project. Gaps flagged before they become bid-day surprises.

## How Survey works in Piper

Your company questions, on every project

### 01. Configure: Load your standard questions

Your company survey: the questions your best estimators always ask.

### 02. Apply: Run against project documents

Piper reads the document set and starts answering what it can from the source material.

### 03. Flag gaps: Surface unanswered and missing items

Questions with no answer yet, information not found in the documents, and open risks.

### 04. Preserve: Keep answers with the project record

Responses stay attached to the project, not scattered across inboxes and shared drives.

## What changes for your team

### Consistent questions on every project

The survey your senior estimators would run on a slow week gets applied on the fast ones too.

### Gaps visible early

Missing information and unanswered questions surface during the project, not at bid interview.

### Knowledge that stays with the project

Answers are part of the project record, so handoffs and re-bids do not start from zero.

> Piper has significantly streamlined how I review and organize project information. It helps turn scattered inputs into clear, structured outputs. Work that used to take nearly two hours is now much faster and more accurate, making the entire process easier and more consistent.

## What GC estimators ask

### Can we use our own survey questions?

Yes. You configure the questions your team already asks. Piper does not impose a generic checklist. Your standards, applied consistently.

### How is this different from final bid review?

Final Bid Review cross-checks your estimate against documents before submit. Survey applies your company questions to understand the project (risks, missing information, and recurring checks) throughout the work.

### Does Piper answer the questions automatically?

Piper answers what it can from the project documents and flags what still needs a human response. Your team fills in the rest, but they start with a structured list, not a blank page.

### Can multiple estimators contribute answers?

Yes. Answers are preserved with the project record so the whole team sees what is known and what is still open.

### Does this work on projects we are still deciding whether to bid?

That is often the highest-value moment. Running your survey early tells you whether the project is worth pursuing before you invest in a full estimate.
