CostCheckGPT is being built to help people understand contractor bids before they sign them.
The idea came from a recurring construction problem: owners are often asked to make a major financial commitment using a document they are not equipped to fully evaluate.
A bid can contain accurate work, unclear work, missing work, allowances, exclusions, arithmetic problems, and project assumptions on the same page.
CostCheckGPT is designed to organize that information into something the owner can understand and act on.
A contractor estimate is more than a price.
It is a description of what the contractor believes the project includes.
That description affects the contract value, the change-order risk, the payment schedule, and the owner's eventual project cost.
CostCheckGPT is being built to make those assumptions visible before the contract is signed.
CostCheckGPT was founded by Richard Golding.
Richard has more than 20 years of experience working in construction and renovation.
He operates NYC Build Remodel in New York City under DCWP Home Improvement Contractor license #2135146 and California Construction & Remodeling Experts under California CSLB General Building Contractor license #1130438.
His experience reviewing contractor scopes, budgets, allowances, project conditions, and renovation risks became the foundation for the CostCheckGPT bid review methodology.
CostCheckGPT is building contractor bid intelligence.
The platform is designed to help review:
The planned report is called the Bid Defense Memo.
CostCheckGPT is being built for homeowners, real estate investors, repeat renovation buyers, and capital partners who need a clearer way to evaluate contractor budgets before committing money.
CostCheckGPT is currently in development. Join early access to be notified when contractor bid review opens.
