Messy
Your last project's scope template didn't survive to this one. The PM who built it left, and the format doesn't match anyway. So you open a blank sheet and start over.
Upload your bid docs. GravelBox extracts pay items, matches products, compares vendor quotes, and sources submittals. You review, revise, and approve.

The Problem
Your last project's scope template didn't survive to this one. The PM who built it left, and the format doesn't match anyway. So you open a blank sheet and start over.
The spec is in email. The product cut sheets are on a shared drive. The GC's addenda are in a PDF on someone's desktop. Your PM holds the full picture in their head - and they're out Friday.
You open a 200-page spec, Ctrl+F for your division, and start pulling line items into a spreadsheet one by one. Then you cross-reference product catalogs. Then you format the submittal package. None of this required your expertise.
Before & After
Drag the slider to compare your old spreadsheet workflow with GravelBox's scope extraction view.
BeforeA messy spreadsheet with manually entered scope items, scattered formatting, yellow highlights, and margin notes. Multiple browser tabs visible.
AfterGravelBox scope extraction view with clean pay-item structure, spec references, confidence scores, and Confirm, Revise, Flag controls.
Every output is a draft. Every decision needs your sign-off. The platform handles the extraction, matching, and formatting. You handle the judgment calls because your money is on the line.
We built GravelBox knowing AI should never make procurement decisions for you. It should make those decisions easier.
Every submittal is a draft until you say it is not.
