179 matched line items. Project-level risk analysis. Full cost breakdown. Schedule of values. Gantt timeline. A finished client proposal. All derived from a single blueprint upload — in about five minutes.
Bluprynt extracts each line item from the PDF and runs it through a three-layer matcher: your custom price list first, the 4,500-item validated material database second, AI estimate as the fallback. Every item surfaces which layer it came from.
Anything the AI isn't confident about — ambiguous size, spec book mismatch, unusual unit — gets a Needs review badge so you know exactly where to focus.
Beyond the drawings, Bluprynt parses the spec sections — code references, jurisdiction, engineer of record, specified systems — and flags conflicts between what the drawings show and what the specs require.
The risk flags below are generated from cross-referencing both sources. You'd normally spend half a day hunting these manually.
Material cost is drawn from the 4,500-item validated database (defaults) or your uploaded price list (preferred when loaded). Each line item's unit price is cross-checked against a per-size bounds table so a 3" wye can never accidentally price like a 6" wye.
The sections below are ranked by dollar weight so you see where the real money is.
Every line item carries labor hours derived from MCAA productivity rates — the industry-standard hours-per-unit tables that commercial plumbing estimators use manually. Bluprynt applies them automatically and multiplies by your blended burdened rate.
Crew mix is configurable per project; the demo uses a defensible commercial default. Burden multiplier (taxes, benefits, workers comp) is 1.35 for this example.
Hours come from MCAA-standard productivity rates per line-item type. Rates default to regional journeyman scales but override per-project from a company's own labor model.
Direct cost (material + labor) plus overhead, profit applied on top of that, and contingency applied last — the sequence every commercial estimator uses. You see every step so there's nothing hidden in the final number.
Each markup percentage is editable per estimate and is surfaced on the delivered proposal so the client sees a defensible math trail, not a black-box total.
The SOV splits the contract into construction phases — underground rough-in through closeout — with a defensible dollar amount per phase. You use this every billing cycle to submit G702/G703 payment applications.
Bluprynt derives the split from the actual labor-weighted cost of each phase, not a generic percentage template.
| Phase | % of contract | Billable amount |
|---|---|---|
| Mobilization & Underground Rough-In | 25.0% | $39,580 |
| Above-Grade Rough-In (DWV + Water + Gas) | 30.0% | $47,496 |
| Equipment Installation (Water Heaters, Interceptor) | 15.0% | $23,748 |
| Fixture Installation & Trim-Out | 15.0% | $23,748 |
| Testing, Inspection & Closeout | 10.0% | $15,832 |
| Retainage Release | 5.0% | $7,916 |
| Total | 100.0% | $158,318 |
Not a generic template. Every bar is sized by actual labor-hour totals per phase, divided by your crew size and skill mix. Phase dependencies follow how plumbing actually sequences — underground precedes above-grade, rough-in precedes trim-out, trim-out precedes testing.
The critical path is highlighted so you know which phases you can't compress without slipping the finish date.
Every line item, flagged system, code citation, and scope boundary feeds into a structured proposal document: cover letter, project overview, scope by section, bid summary, exclusions, and terms.
This is a real proposal for this estimate — nothing templated, nothing mad-libbed. Bluprynt composes it from the extracted project data in about three minutes.
To: Alex Morales, Riverbend Plaza Development LLC
Dear Mr. Morales,
Coastal Mechanical Contractors is pleased to submit this proposal for the plumbing scope of work at Sunrise QSR, located at 125 Plaza Court, Riverbend, Florida. This proposal has been prepared in accordance with the plans and specifications issued by Coastline Engineering and Harbor & Finch Architects, and reflects our understanding of the project requirements for this quick-service restaurant with dine-in and takeout service.
Coastal Mechanical Contractors is a licensed commercial plumbing contractor serving the South Florida region. We specialize in food service and commercial tenant improvement projects, and our team has extensive experience with municipal permitting, grease interceptor installations, and commercial kitchen equipment coordination. Our estimating and field supervision teams work closely with general contractors and owners to deliver quality installations on schedule and within budget.
The Sunrise QSR project is a new quick-service restaurant build-out in Riverbend, Florida, requiring complete plumbing systems installation including underground rough-in, domestic water distribution, sanitary waste and vent systems, natural gas piping to cooking equipment and water heaters, a 750-gallon concrete grease interceptor, tankless water heating with recirculation, plumbing fixtures, and all kitchen equipment connections. The work includes coordination with kitchen equipment contractors, fire suppression contractors, and the local authority having jurisdiction for grease waste management.
This section includes all below-slab plumbing rough-in work required prior to concrete slab restoration. Work includes concrete sawcutting for trench access, installation of Schedule 40 PVC sanitary and grease waste piping from interior fixtures and floor drains to the grease interceptor connection point, cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) cold water service piping below grade, trench drain rough-in boxes, and all associated fittings, cleanouts, and direction changes. Underground piping will be installed to proper grade and alignment, backfilled with controlled density fill, compacted to 95% Proctor, and the slab will be patched and restored to match existing conditions. Core drilling and sleeves for vertical penetrations through the slab are included.
This section includes furnishing and installing a 750-gallon HS-20 traffic-rated concrete grease interceptor per local environmental control district requirements. Work includes excavation to approximately five feet depth, setting the interceptor unit, connecting 4-inch PVC influent piping from the kitchen grease waste system and 4-inch PVC effluent piping to the existing sanitary connection, installation of exterior flush-mount grease cleanouts with scoriated bronze covers, a sampling port downstream of the interceptor, and a 2-inch PVC vent pipe routed up the exterior building wall. Excavation will be backfilled and compacted to 95% Proctor density. All work will be coordinated with the regional plumbing and environmental control district for final location approval.
