Upload your drawings, specs and addenda. HVAX flags potential scope gaps and conflicts before you bid, each with a citation to the exact page.
Built for commercial electrical estimators and preconstruction teams.
Commercial electrical estimators work under real pressure. Thorough document review competes with takeoff and pricing time — and review almost always loses.
A single commercial bid can span hundreds of pages across drawings, specs, addenda, alternates, and supplemental documents. Reading everything is not a realistic option.
Specs say one thing. Drawings say another. Addenda change something that wasn't updated elsewhere. These contradictions surface as disputes — or worse, unbilled work — after award.
Vague interface language, undefined responsibilities between divisions, and unlisted equipment leave estimators guessing — and often underbidding work they'll be held to.
Addenda arrive after most of the estimate is built. A missed panel schedule revision or scope clarification can shift the job significantly and go unpriced.
Estimators are managing several active bids simultaneously. There's no slack in the schedule for a second, methodical pass through every document in a package.
A single missed requirement — a fire alarm interface, a temporary power obligation, an undefined commissioning scope — can cost more to address post-award than it would have cost to price correctly.
Reads across your full document set — not one file at a time — to help surface inconsistencies.
Understands Division 26 language, NEC requirements, switchgear, panel schedules, conduit systems, and bid document conventions.
Findings organized by type and severity — not buried in a wall of text. Each entry tells you what was found, where, and why it matters.
Designed for estimators who are already short on time. Integrates naturally without requiring a new, complex workflow.
HVAX is purpose-built for commercial electrical contractors. Before a bid goes out, it works through your document package and surfaces the things that matter — the risks you didn't have time to find, the spec-drawing conflict buried on page 47, the addendum change that just shifted your scope.
Six categories of issues that most often create bid risk, scope disputes, or unbilled work on commercial electrical projects.
Liquidated damages, broad indemnification, undefined scope ownership, or one-sided responsibility transfer — conditions that create financial exposure before you've even started the job.
Conflicts between specifications, drawings, addenda, and the ITB — wire sizes, equipment ratings, installation methods, or scope boundaries that don't agree across documents.
Referenced work that isn't fully specified: commissioning, spare parts, submittals, testing and inspection, temporary power, startup services — scope that exists in the documents but not in the spec.
Interface work between divisions, unassigned coordination responsibilities, and equipment furnished by others with no installation scope defined — the grey areas estimators have to guess at.
Ambiguities, major addenda changes, complex notes, or unusual material requirements that warrant an estimator's direct attention, judgment, and manual review.
Design gaps, unresolved coordination issues, and ambiguities where a clarification before submission reduces your risk — identified and ready to issue before the bid goes out.
We ran the HVAX pipeline alongside a live estimating team to measure how many commercial and scope risks are missed during a standard manual review.
Founder, HVAX
I built HVAX after seeing how much risk commercial electrical estimators carry on every bid due to compressed timelines and massive document sets. HVAX is designed to act as a tireless second set of eyes, surfacing hidden scope gaps and contradictions before the bid goes out.
HVAX is currently operating in a curated Private Beta. If you are a commercial electrical estimator, request a pilot to reserve your spot.
