Electrification and decarbonization retrofits replace fossil fuel systems with electric ones, a growing MEP scope, and a subcontractor that does not read the retrofit scope misjudges the mechanical and electrical work.
What an electrification retrofit sets
An electrification retrofit replaces gas heating and equipment with heat pumps and electric systems, adds electrical capacity, and is driven by energy codes and decarbonization mandates. The package sets the new mechanical equipment, the electrical service upgrades, and the demolition of the existing systems the sub must perform.
Why retrofit scope is easy to misprice
The new equipment, the service upgrade, the demolition, and the phasing in an occupied building sit in the specifications and the drawings, not the title. A sub that underreads the electrical capacity or the phasing carries the wrong cost into the bid.
How an AI bid agent scopes electrification
An AI bid agent reads each retrofit package, identifies the electrification scope, and surfaces the new equipment, the service upgrade, and the phasing that drive the work. The MEP sub prices the actual retrofit.
You can see how the agent reads a retrofit package in our AI bid agent demo for MEP subcontractors. It pulls the electrification scope, service upgrade, and phasing so the retrofit is priced correctly.
