Frequently asked questions
Starting a pilot is simple. We’ll set you up to use Nivel on a real project with your actual bid packages. No sandbox data, no demos-only experience. The pilot lets your team see how Nivel fits into your bid review process before moving forward.
No. Nivel is designed to work with your existing workflow. Upload bids as you receive them, review comparisons the way you already do, and export results in formats your team is used to. There’s no new process to adopt.
Yes. Estimators, preconstruction managers, and reviewers can all access the same bids, comparisons, and context. Everyone works from the same information, without passing spreadsheets back and forth.
That’s exactly what Nivel is built for. The system handles inconsistent formats, incomplete scope, and unclear inclusions or exclusions—then highlights gaps and differences so they’re easy to review.
Yes. Every comparison, callout, and scope item links back to the original bid line or plan reference. You can always see where the information came from and verify it directly.
