How Custom Intelligent Estimate Bid Design Build Management Software Works
Three Steps: Describe Project → Generate BluePrints, Material/Price Lists, Labor Timeline & Build Strategy
Three steps from project description to complete estimate, permit-ready blueprints, and 3D render.
Describe Your Project
Type a description of your construction project — as brief as a sentence or as detailed as a spec sheet. Or upload existing blueprints for Bid Mode.
Custom Intelligent Software Generates Everything
In under 2 minutes: complete itemized estimate, 24 permit-ready blueprint sheets, Gantt phase schedule, custom architectural render, and permit list.
Edit, Share & Export
Adjust any material, price, or labor rate. Generate change orders intelligently. Share with clients. Export to PDF, Excel, AutoCAD DXF, Revit IFC, or Procore.
Two Ways to Start a Project
Describe it from scratch with Design-Build Mode, or upload existing blueprints and specs with Bid Mode.
Describe Any Design Build Project
Generate Detailed BluePrints, Material/Price Lists, Build Strategy/Labor Timeline
Type a plain-language description of any construction project. Phulax generates 24 permit-ready blueprint sheets, a full line-item material takeoff with labor by trade, a phased cost breakdown, and a custom architectural render — all in under 90 seconds. No drawings needed to start.
