AI ESTIMATOR · GLAZING CONTRACTORS

Reads the
drawings.
Does the takeoff.

Shows its work.

Glazing contractors spend 4–12 hours per bid counting glass off a 200-sheet drawing set by hand. Vdrio does it in minutes. Every line item traces back to the source.

The bottleneck.
Why estimators are the choke point of every glazing contractor

A senior estimator opens a 200-sheet set, marks up each piece of glass by hand, cross-references the spec, and tallies it in Excel.

The legacy software is two decades old and still leaves the hard work to the human. Mid-size firms bid 5–20 jobs a week. There aren't enough senior estimators to make that math work.

Trust over magic.
Four principles · Why this works on real bids
01
You can see how confident it is.
Every item shows a confidence score. Focus on the 10% that needs a second look, not the 90% that's already clear.
02
Every number has a source.
Sheet, spec section, gridlines. Click any number to see exactly where it came from.
03
Bulk changes show a preview.
Reclassify 80 items with one command. You always see what will change before it happens.
04
The estimator stays in control.
Nothing changes without your approval. Vdrio is a tool, not a black box.
SHEET 06
Audit chat.
Ask anything. Get cited answers.

Two modes. Audit answers questions about your bid and cites the source for every answer. Commands let you make bulk changes in plain English, with a preview before anything is applied.

It only works from your data and always shows its work.
