Cascade is an AI-powered bid intelligence platform for AEC firms. It scans thousands of RFPs in real time, matches them to your project history and capacity, and connects directly to your ERP to help teams pursue the right contracts faster and win more work.
Cascade is an AI-powered bid intelligence and decision platform purpose-built for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms. It helps teams identify the right opportunities earlier, qualify them faster, and make smarter go/no-go and bid decisions using their own operational data.
At its core, Cascade continuously scans thousands of public-sector and private-sector RFPs and bid opportunities in real time. Using advanced AI matching, each opportunity is evaluated against your firm’s historical projects, certifications, geographic presence, safety record, capacity, and financial constraints. Rather than forcing teams to manually search portals or review long documents, Cascade surfaces the most relevant opportunities first—before competitors—along with clear explanations of why each RFP is a strong fit and where potential risks exist.
Cascade connects directly to the systems AEC firms already use, including ERPs and project management tools such as Deltek Vantagepoint, Ajera, Costpoint, OpenAsset, Sage, and others. This deep integration allows Cascade to act as a true intelligence layer across your business. Teams can ask natural-language questions about their projects, finances, and performance—such as AR aging, unbilled WIP, margins by project type, or regional profitability—and receive instant, accurate answers powered by live data.
In addition to opportunity discovery, Cascade automates reporting and analytics workflows that traditionally take hours or days. With simple prompts, users can generate certified payroll reports, compliance documentation, executive dashboards, and financial summaries that automatically stay up to date. Dashboards can be created on demand to track KPIs like revenue, margins, backlog, utilization, and project performance by region or discipline.
Designed for speed and ease of adoption, Cascade can be integrated in minutes and fully onboarded in under 24 hours, with no disruption to existing workflows. Backed by a16z Speedrun, Cascade is trusted by leading architecture, engineering, and construction firms to reduce missed opportunities, improve bid win rates, and turn their operational data into a competitive advantage.

Kestrel is building code compliance software that runs inside Revit, checking BIM models against jurisdiction-specific requirements during design. It flags issues directly on model elements and ties every result to a cited code section. Teams run compliance checks continuously, not just at plan check, so problems surface while they are still easy to fix. Kestrel brings building code into the model, giving teams a clear, real-time understanding of where their project stands.
MeltBid by MeltPlan is an AI bid leveling agent built for general contractors in preconstruction. The traditional bid leveling process takes estimators hours of manual work — cross-referencing PDFs, building spreadsheets by hand, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. MeltBid compresses that down to minutes.
MeltPlan is the AI-native planning engine for the built environment, bringing code compliance, cost, schedule, and value engineering into one connected system. It helps architects, engineers, and contractors make faster, more confident decisions before construction begins — with transparent reasoning, verifiable sources, and workflows built for real project execution.
