Nilo wasn’t built by a tech company that discovered construction. It was built by a heavy civil construction estimator who spent years living the problem firsthand — hundreds of vendor emails, scattered spreadsheets, pricing decisions made under pressure with incomplete information.

The construction industry moves billions of dollars through bidding workflows that haven’t meaningfully evolved in decades. Nilo is designed to change that — not by replacing the estimator’s judgment, but by giving them the intelligence layer they’ve never had.

The first version focuses on the RFQ-to-quote-ingestion workflow: sending requests, parsing vendor responses, structuring quote data, and tracking bid coverage in real time. What comes next is larger — a platform that learns from every bid, every vendor, and every project to make every future estimate smarter.
