About this skill

Problem Being Solved

Technical bid appendices usually require repeated extraction of equipment, testing devices, labor categories, and temporary land data from tender documents and bill of quantities. The output must remain in fixed table formats, while source files may arrive as PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or scanned images. Manual extraction and reformatting are time consuming, and missing fields that are left blank or filled in without review can reduce the completeness of the technical bid document.

How It Works

The skill accepts tender documents and bill of quantities, converts different file formats into searchable text, then extracts data by appendix type:
- Appendix One: major construction machinery and equipment, including name, model, quantity, country of origin, and rated power
- Appendix Two: testing and inspection instruments
- Appendix Three: labor plan table organized by construction phase
- Appendix Six: temporary land table and temporary facility area estimates

Extraction follows an “original source first, AI inference second” approach. Fields that can be confirmed from the tender or bill of quantities are used first. When information is missing, the skill infers values based on project type, construction sequence, and common configuration, marking them as AI suggestions for human review. The final output is a Bid Appendix.docx file with a title section and multiple standard tables, making it easier to place into the technical bid package for review.

Scope and Caveats

This skill is best suited for drafting construction-related technical bid appendices, especially when the bill of quantities is incomplete, equipment and labor data need rapid initialization, or scanned files require assisted extraction. If the project has strict client format requirements, special equipment lists, precise labor curves, or tight temporary land constraints, the output must still be validated against the original tender documents, construction organization design, and actual resource plans.

Use Cases

After receiving tender documents and bill of quantities, draft a first version of technical bid appendix tables for equipment, testing devices, labor, and temporary land.
When inputs include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or scanned files, extract equipment models, testing instruments, and phase-level labor data from source text.
When the bill of quantities lacks machinery, labor, or temporary land fields, infer plausible values by project type and mark AI suggestions for review.
Before generating the Word appendix, review the extracted summary to confirm equipment, instruments, labor, and temporary land entries are ready for manual check.

Best For

Technical bid writers at construction firms who need to turn tender and bill data into a first Word appendix draft.
Bidding technical leads who need to fill missing equipment, instrument, labor, and temporary land fields when source documents are incomplete.
Quantity surveyors or cost analysts who need to extract machinery shifts, labor, and testing data from XLSX and PDF files.
Bid preparation assistants who need a reviewable appendix document quickly instead of hand-building tables.
