# Bedrock > Bedrock is modern estimating software for concrete and earthwork contractors. It replaces legacy tools like ProEst and Bluebeam with a faster, more intuitive workflow that combines digital plan takeoff, smart assemblies, a CSI MasterFormat cost database, proposal generation, CRM, and a bid calendar in one platform.

Two-click scale calibration; per-sheet scales; auto-rescale of every measurement when the scale changes. - **Smart assemblies** — Reusable assemblies with formulas auto-calculate concrete volume, rebar tonnage, formwork SF, labor man-hours, and equipment hours from a single takeoff input. Includes an AI assembly builder that generates formulas + parameters from plain-English descriptions. - **Cost database** — Pre-loaded CSI MasterFormat cost codes (Divisions 01–49) typed by role (material, labor, equipment, sub, composite). Global labor classes, equipment types, and composite crews. AI cost-database tools for bulk add/cleanup/merge. - **Estimate management** — Customizable status pipeline (Lead → Bidding → Won/Lost), alternates, markups, side-by-side cost rollups, and a customizable column system. - **Proposal builder** — Generates branded client-ready proposals with a Paged.js-driven editor, page-break-aware tables, AI text polish, and one-click PDF export. - **CRM & bid calendar** — Tracks owners, GCs, architects, contacts, and bid dates. Includes a client-side automation engine with 10 construction-specific presets, AI-assisted CRM import (xlsx/csv/pdf/text), and project-trigger lifecycle automation. - **Team collaboration** — Multi-tenant workspaces with per-company data isolation (RLS), role-based invites, and shared projects. ## Who Bedrock is for - Concrete contractors — flatwork, foundations, structural concrete, tilt-up panels, cast-in-place - Earthwork and excavation contractors — cut/fill, grading, trenching, import/export, aggregate base - Site work and sitework contractors - Foundation specialists — piers, grade beams, footings, pile caps - Heavy civil contractors - General contractors that self-perform concrete or excavation - Estimators, project managers, and bid coordinators producing accurate bids fast ## Page index (per-route summaries for crawlers) Each URL below is a distinct page.
