We built KNYTEC for the contractor who's too busy to bid.
Specialty subcontractors don't lose work because they're not good enough. They lose it because the bid never went out. KNYTEC is the bidding back-office that fixes that — and only gets paid when you win.

The work is there. The hours aren't.
Every week, specialty subcontractors get invited to bid on commercial jobs they're perfectly capable of winning. Then the day takes over — crews, materials, inspections — and the proposal that takes two to four hours to build never gets built. The GC moves on. Someone slower but less busy gets the work.
That's not a skill problem. It's a back-office problem. We started KNYTEC to take the entire bid pipeline off the owner's plate — takeoff, estimate, proposal, submission — so the people who actually do the work stop losing it to the people who happen to have an estimator on payroll.

Four things we won't compromise on.
Aligned, not extractive. We charge a small % only when you win. No retainer, no subscription, no charging you to write a bid that loses. If you don't win, we don't eat.
You own it. Bids go out under your company name and license. The systems we build run on your hardware. We're the back-office — your reputation stays yours.
Specialty trades only. We don't serve GCs or residential remodelers. Concrete, HVAC, aluminum & glass, electrical, plumbing, roofing — that focus is why we're good at it.
A partner, not a vendor. We track the bid, follow up, and stay in it through the award. Your wins are our wins — that's the whole point of getting paid on them.

Not an estimator. Not another app.
KNYTEC is a managed pipeline powered by AI — the speed of software with the accountability of a team that only wins when you do.
vs. hiring an estimator
No salary, no benefits, no slow season you still pay for. You get bid capacity that scales with your invites and costs nothing until a job closes.
vs. bidding software
Software still needs someone to sit down and use it. We run the pipeline for you — you review on your phone early, then let it run.
Bid prep time drops ~75%
Once the engine is dialed in to your pricing and scope, the 2–4 hours a proposal used to eat shrinks to a fraction — so bids go out while the GC is still looking, not days later.
AI with a human standard
AI does the heavy lifting on takeoff and drafting; the output is held to the standard of a proposal you'd be proud to put your name on. Because you are.
