## The Problem

Luxury Residential Interior Design jobs in Studio Designer require bids from 20+ trades per project — chasing bids, comparing apples-to-apples, and onboarding new subs is hand-work that delays project starts.

## What We Build

AI assembles bid packages from Studio Designer scope, sends to subs, normalizes responses for comparison, and runs sub onboarding (insurance, W-9s, MSA) — start-to-construction time drops measurably.

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current subcontractor & bid management process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
