Scope gaps become change orders
Allowances, alternates and unit prices stay three separate things on the bid, so the GC can level it without guessing what you meant.

Bids written for a GC or a facility manager
Commercial is who you sell to, not what you do — you could be any trade, so nothing about your setup changes shape. What changes is who the quote is written for: the AI is told your buyer is a GC or a facility manager, so bids come out organized the way they get read, and general conditions go on as billable lines instead of getting eaten.

What a commercial buyer grades — and what changes
General conditions get smuggled or eaten
Supervision, temporary facilities, hoisting, safety and cleanup are priced as their own lines instead of absorbed into overhead.
Homeowner paper in front of a business buyer
When your customer signs, the contract carries no three-day cancellation right — that is homeowner law, and your buyer is a business.
Sections that follow the job
Commercial bids run 30 to 80 lines, organized the way a GC reads them:
- Division
- a CSI MasterFormat division — “03 30 00 — Cast-in-Place Concrete”
- Area
- a building area — “Level 2 — East Wing”
- Suite
- a tenant space — “Suite 210 — Tenant Improvement”
- Wage basis
- on public work, the bid states the wage basis it assumed instead of guessing

How your quotes come out
The AI here was taught how commercial bids get read, not just relabeled. Quote sections follow the job — “Suite 210 — Tenant Improvement” instead of a bedroom — allowances, alternates and unit prices stay three separate things, supervision and cleanup get priced as their own lines, and on public work the bid states the wage basis instead of guessing. When your customer signs, the contract carries no three-day cancellation right — that’s homeowner law, and your buyer is a business.

Questions from commercial contractors
Does picking Commercial change my trade setup?
No. Commercial is a buyer market, so your price book, job sections and schedule stay the standard setup for whatever trade you run. What changes is how the AI writes the bid and what the signed contract carries.
Does the contract include the three-day cancellation notice?
No. That notice is homeowner law. For a commercial company the signed contract leaves it out, and what the signer saw is stored with the signature.
Can a bid carry allowances and alternates?
Yes. Allowances, alternates and unit prices are kept as three distinct things on the bid, and general conditions are priced as their own lines.
