The plumbing estimating problem

Multi-system scopes (domestic water, sanitary, storm, gas, specialty) plus fixtures, valves, hangers, and insulation make plumbing bids slow and error-prone. Vendor quotes arrive in different formats and common allowances get missed. TIBR standardizes estimates so your team moves faster with fewer change orders.

Inconsistent vendor formats → hard to normalize and compare
Missed allowances (sleeves, firestopping, insulation, testing) → margin risk
Manual proposal formatting → slow responses in competitive cycles

How works for plumbing contractors

Capture scope fast. Speak or paste notes for domestic water, sanitary, storm, gas, vent, and specialty piping; fixtures and equipment.
AI builds the estimate. Standard sections for systems, risers/branches, fixtures, valves, equipment, hangers, insulation, and testing.
Gap-checking prompts. Sleeves/penetrations, firestopping, trap primers, cleanouts, carriers, seismic, condensate, backflow, permits.
Clarifications, exclusions, alternates. Auto-attach language to de-risk award and support VE decisions.
Export & share. PDF/Word/CSV or a branded proposal link with version history.
