Bidding is where jobs are won and lost — and it's the slowest part of your week
Counting fixtures off a plan, measuring rooms, pricing every line in a spreadsheet after dinner. Orchamind collapses that into minutes: the AI does the takeoff and the math, you keep the judgment and the markup. The result isn't a number in a chat window — it's a finished, branded estimate you can show a client on the spot.
📷 Plans → estimate
Snap a photo of the drawings or upload a PDF. The AI reads rooms, square footage and fixture counts and drafts itemized line items.
🧊 3D plan view
Every plan-based estimate renders a rotating 3D model with square footage and cost allocated per room — the moment that closes the sale.
✅ It asks, never guesses
Anything the plans don't specify comes back as a short question. Every assumption is listed in plain English on the draft.
💳 Bid to invoice
Review, apply your rates, send it branded. When it's accepted, convert to an invoice in a single click.

Frequently asked questions
You describe the job in plain words or upload the plans. Orchamind drafts itemized line items - labor and materials, with realistic regional pricing - and shows a live preview with headline numbers and, for plan uploads, a 3D model. You review every line, apply your own rates, and send. It does the counting and arithmetic; your judgment sets the final price.
ChatGPT gives you a number in a chat window that you still have to format, price to your market, and turn into something a client will sign. Orchamind gives you a branded, itemized estimate with a 3D plan view and per-room costs, then converts the accepted one into an invoice in one click. Same AI horsepower - a real product wrapped around it.
Yes. Snap up to four photos of the drawings on your phone, or upload a PDF. The AI performs the takeoff - rooms, square footage, fixture counts - and generates a 3D massing model alongside the line items. Anything the plans don't specify comes back as a short question instead of a silent guess.
It's a strong first draft, not a final bid. Every assumption is listed in plain English and the numbers land in an editor where you confirm quantities and apply your markup before sending. Sent documents state pricing is an estimate subject to a written contract.
