The Engineering Firm Growth Paradox

Principals Run at 50% Utilization

Half their time goes to BD, proposals, and management—not billable project work

Marketing Coordinators Are Overwhelmed

58% of AEC proposal professionals feel overworked managing multiple pursuits

More Pursuits = More Revenue

At 44% win rates, the math is simple: submit more qualified proposals, win more projects

The Solution: AI That Handles First Drafts

Let AI generate technical content. Your team reviews and adds the engineering judgment that wins.

THE PROBLEM

Technical Proposals Are Crushing Your Capacity

Engineering RFPs demand technical approaches, project experience, team credentials, and detailed methodologies. That takes serious time your team doesn't have.

THE SOLUTION

From RFP to Technical Draft in 30 Minutes

Upload your past proposals and technical documentation once. The AI learns your engineering methodology and generates first drafts your team actually wants to review.

Step 1

Upload Your Technical Documentation

Upload 10-15 past proposals (especially winners), project descriptions, methodology documents, and team credentials. The AI learns your technical language, design approaches, and how you present qualifications—no manual tagging required.

Project experience extraction
PE credential recognition
Methodology learning
Document upload interface for engineering proposal software
Step 2

Generate Technical Proposals Instantly

Upload a new RFP. The AI generates a complete first draft—matching relevant project experience, applying your technical methodology language, and formatting team credentials—all in your firm's voice and using your engineering terminology.

30-minute first drafts
AI proposal generation for civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms
Step 3

Engineering Review, Not Engineering Writing

Your team reviews the AI-generated content, adds project-specific engineering judgment, and verifies technical accuracy. Total time: 6-8 hours instead of 32+ hours. Engineers focus on engineering, not proposal writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything engineering firms need to know about AI proposal software

Yes. The AI learns your specific technical terminology—how you describe seismic design methodologies, ASCE standards compliance, construction phasing, and project delivery methods. It extracts this from your past proposals and applies your exact engineering language to new proposals. If you describe structural analysis as 'performance-based design conforming to ASCE 7-22', it learns and maintains that terminology.
This is one of the biggest time-savers for engineering firms. Upload your past project descriptions, and the AI identifies which projects are most relevant for each new RFP—matching by project type, budget range, methodology, and geographic experience. What takes 6-8 hours manually becomes 30-45 minutes of review.
The AI helps you prepare content for SF330 submissions by organizing project experience, team qualifications, and technical approaches. While you'll still need to format the final SF330, having AI-generated content for Sections E, F, G, and H dramatically reduces preparation time. The personnel-to-project matrix (Section G) becomes much easier when your content is already organized.
Upload your team's credentials once, and the AI extracts and organizes PE licenses by state, professional certifications, LEED credentials, project management certifications, and specialized training. When generating proposals, it automatically formats team qualifications consistently and flags any missing credentials for the project requirements.
If your team spends 32 hours on a typical proposal and you save 75% of that time, you're reclaiming 24+ hours per proposal. At $150-200/hour loaded cost for senior staff, that's $3,600-4,800 saved per proposal. More importantly, you can pursue 3-4x more opportunities without adding staff—and with engineering firms averaging 44% win rates, that means significantly more projects won.
Yes. Bidara uses enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and secure cloud infrastructure. Your proposals, project details, and client information are never shared with other users or used to train public AI models.
