We founded Bild AI to tackle the mess that is blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications in construction. Today we are the AI takeoff platform for Division 8: doors, frames, and hardware. Distributors across the US run their takeoffs on Bild AI and push them into Comsense, AVAware, eMullion, ProTech, and TOAD. Featured on Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-startup-bild-3-million-seed-affordable-housing-2025-6.
Our customers want to talk to us every week. That is the best signal a startup can get, and it is more than the founders and engineers can carry alone. You will be the first person at Bild AI whose whole job is making Division 8 estimators get over the training hump and become successful on the product.
You'll
- Own a book of Division 8 distributors and run their weekly calls
- Onboard and train estimators on Bild AI and Bildy, and get their takeoffs into Comsense, AVAware, eMullion, ProTech, TOAD, or Excel
- Travel a few times a month to sit next to estimators, run trainings, and map how their shop really works from drawings to ERP
- Turn what you hear into requirements the engineers ship the following week
- Watch account health, catch low usage early, and pull accounts back before they churn
- Figure out how customer success works at 50 and 100 customers: cohort trainings, office hours, videos, in-product help. Whatever keeps the signal of a weekly call without 40 hours of meetings
We want
- 3+ years in Division 8: estimating, detailing, project management, or inside sales
- Hands-on use of at least one of Comsense, AVAware, eMullion, ProTech, or TOAD
- Read door schedules, hardware sets, and specs without help
- You're the person your coworkers already ask when the software does something weird, and you've trained new members of your team
- Hungry IC. You want to learn the whole industry, not manage a team. A lot of this job is listening
- Communicate with empathy and honesty. Tell us what makes you happy/unhappy
- Don't mind schlep https://www.paulgraham.com/schlep.html. We are regularly knee-deep in schlep
