BidLens - AI that analyzes contractor bids before you sign

by•
Got a contractor bid and not sure if it's fair? BidLens analyzes it in 60 seconds — checking pricing against real regional benchmarks, flagging missing code requirements, detecting material substitution, and calculating the contractor's markup. Built after a $75,000 deck project taught me everything I wish I'd known upfront. Works for decks, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, fencing, and more. Free to start.

I built BidLens after getting an outdoor deck bid that had a 100% markup on materials — something I only figured out after reverse-engineering the numbers. The problem is structural: homeowners are asked to evaluate complex technical bids with no domain expertise, no pricing benchmarks, and no way to know what's missing. BidLens fixes that. Upload any contractor bid and it checks: is the price in range for your region, are materials actually specified, are payment terms normal, what code requirements should be there, what's the contractor's markup. Would love feedback — especially from anyone who's navigated a home improvement project and felt like they were flying blind.
