How AI-Powered CRMs are Transforming Construction Bidding: Insights from the Jengai Team 

by Oliver Hayes

In the construction industry, we all know how painful bidding can be. From reviewing plans to estimating materials and managing follow-ups, it’s a time-consuming grind. After hearing this over and over from contractors, we knew something had to change. That's why we created Jengai, an AI-powered CRM built specifically to solve the everyday pain points of managing bids and, more importantly, to help you increase sales.

The Problem We Saw: Too Much Time, Not Enough Results

The traditional bidding process is a sales bottleneck. You spend hours on takeoffs, estimates, and proposals—only to lose the bid because of an overlooked detail or a lack of follow-up. Contractors have been stuck in this cycle for years, and it’s exhausting. We wanted to break this cycle and make it easier for contractors to increase their bidding volume without burning out.

But here’s the kicker: Jengai does more than just streamline the process. We don’t just make it faster—we help you decide upfront if the project is even worth your time. Before you invest any effort, Jengai tells you whether the bid is a good fit for your business based on project scope, materials, and past data. This means you’re not just bidding more—you’re bidding smarter.

Automate the Grind, Focus on Sales

At its core, Jengai is a CRM, and CRMs are sales tools designed to help you win more work. Jengai’s AI handles the manual, repetitive tasks: it analyzes architectural plans, identifies key materials, and pulls together estimates in minutes instead of hours. This allows your team to focus on building relationships and closing deals instead of being bogged down by paperwork.

Our system gives you a complete view of your sales pipeline—bids, follow-ups, client relationships—everything in one place. Jengai doesn’t just help you get more bids out the door; it ensures you stay organized, focused, and proactive.

Proposals That Speak Directly to Your Clients

Accuracy in estimates is critical, but it’s not enough. The real challenge comes when you need to turn that estimate into a proposal that catches your client’s attention. Jengai’s smart proposal feature generates professional, detailed bids that are tailored to each project and client, pulling from past pricing data and project history. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all system—each proposal can be customized to fit the unique needs of your GC or project, helping you stand out from the competition.

Qualify Bids Before You Invest Your Time

The biggest game-changer? Jengai helps you qualify projects before you invest any time in them. Our system uses AI to analyze the project data upfront, telling you whether it’s worth bidding on. By assessing materials, scope, and past performance, Jengai makes sure you’re only focusing on the projects that are likely to close. No more wasting time on low-quality leads.

Automated Follow-ups—No More Missed Opportunities

Following up is one of the simplest ways to win more work, but it’s also one of the most overlooked. Jengai automates this process, tracking every bid and sending follow-up reminders, so you never miss an opportunity. The system makes sure every potential client gets the attention they deserve, without adding more to your plate.

Why Contractors Are Choosing Jengai

Contractors who’ve adopted Jengai are seeing serious results. We’ve seen teams increase their bidding volume from 80 to 220 bids a month without expanding their staff. Jengai helps you bid more efficiently, but also more intelligently—only going after the projects that make sense for your business. This isn’t just about managing more bids—it’s about winning more projects.

The Future of Bidding is Here

We built Jengai because contractors like you deserve a smarter, faster way to handle bids. As a sales tool, Jengai helps you increase revenue by identifying the right opportunities and automating the grind. With AI handling the details, you can focus on building your business and closing deals. It’s time to stop wasting time on the wrong bids and start winning the ones that count.
