How AI can be used in construction bidding, negotiation
Aug. 6, 2025 · Authored by Brian J. Kassalen
Rising costs and labor shortages are squeezing margins across construction. Baker Tilly’s Brian Kassalen shared with CFO Dive that artificial intelligence is helping contractors protect profitability at the earliest stage — the bid.
AI can turn past bids, supply chain data and BIM models into faster, more accurate estimates, while predictive analytics flag risks like market volatility or scope gaps before they become costly surprises. With stronger data, contractors can negotiate more effectively and reduce disputes later.
