For everyone on the project

One set of specs, three parties aligned

Raygister brings the three parties of a project together around the same specifications, each with their own view and permissions.

General contractor

You run the project, from specs to signed subcontracts.

  • Priced specifications in a fraction of the time
  • Bids you can level, with no rework
  • Scenarios ready to present to the owner
  • A project you can stand behind, from bid documents to signing

Owner

The owner weighs the options and decides with confidence.

  • Bids explained line by line
  • Clear scenarios to decide on
  • A construction budget under control from day one
  • The project's documents and decisions in one place

Subcontractors

They price and build on a clear basis.

  • A clear scope: they know exactly what is asked
  • Bid online, with or without an account
  • Their alternates and know-how put forward
  • A better-prepared construction phase

The platform

The engine behind your specs

Documents read for you, an AI that keeps your context, and every figure tied to its source.

All your documents, read for you

Drawings, narratives, existing cost estimates, photos of existing conditions, quotes already in hand: drop them in as PDF, Excel or images, and Raygister pulls out the trade packages, line items, locations and quantities.

The best AI, grounded in your reality

Raygister always runs on the best models. When the frontier moves, your context stays: your documents, your trade packages, your bids, your conversations.

No template forced on you

No rigid template, no locked-down table: the flexibility of Excel, the intelligence of AI. Trade packages, line items, options and alternates fall into place the way you work.

Collaboration

Your team contributes, your subcontractors bid, your owner follows the decisions: everyone works from a single source of truth.

Traceable by design

Every figure traces back to its source: who entered it, when, from which bid. If there is a dispute, the history shows who approved what, and when.

Excel, Google Sheets and API import and export

Your data moves in and out of Excel or Google Sheets in seconds, and through the API into your own tools: estimate, bid leveling, bid form for your subcontractors to price.

AI assistant

Powered by the best models

Raygister's assistant talks with you, reads your drawings and quotes, and structures your specifications. Each feature runs on the model that does it best, and you can also use Raygister from the AI assistant you already work with.

Architects, general contractors, subcontractors, owners

“Before Raygister, I spent hours normalizing the bids I received just to level them. Now every subcontractor bids on the same basis, and I can walk my clients through a clear analysis in a few clicks. The time saved is huge, especially when the bid documents go out.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most about Raygister, its plans and your data.

Can't find your answer? Contact our team

How do subcontractors price my bid form?

Raygister turns your specifications into a bid form: every line item of the work with its quantity and unit, the same for every bidder. Each subcontractor enters its unit prices online, with or without an account, and adds its alternates, exclusions and clarifications. The bids then line up item by item, so you level them on a common basis.

Which rules are the estimates based on?

Today, line items rest on French building standards (the DTU and NF standards) for specifications and installation, and on reference prices per trade that you adjust line by line. Each line item keeps the rule and the source behind it, and the assistant cites them whenever you ask.

How does the free trial work?

Every new organization gets 3 months free, with no commitment and no credit card, and every feature of the General Contractor plan. If you subscribe during the trial, billing only starts when it ends, so you keep your free days. Without a subscription at the end of the 3 months, access to your projects is suspended, your data is kept, and bidding stays free.

Do subcontractors have to pay to use Raygister?

No, subcontractors bid for free. They only pay a 0.95% commission on the subcontracts they win through the platform, which covers document management, e-signature and the decision history.

Can I invite the owner to a project?

Yes, you can invite owners to every project at no cost. They can review the leveled bids, approve decisions and follow progress. The owner pays nothing: it's included in your subscription.

Why is pricing in euros?

Raygister is built in Lille, France, and bills every customer in euros for now: €29 per month per user, billed in euros, plus applicable taxes. Your bank or card issuer converts the amount at its own rate.

Do you charge sales tax?

Prices are shown excluding tax. Any tax that applies depends on where your organization is based and is added to your invoice.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. Raygister uses end-to-end encryption and hosts all data in France on certified servers. We comply with the GDPR, and your documents remain your exclusive property.

Is the AI trained on my documents?

No. Raygister trains no AI model on your data. Your drawings, project narratives, bids and conversations are only used to answer within your project, through model providers whose terms exclude any training. They are shared with no one else: each subcontractor sees only its own bid, the owner sees only what you present, and no document moves between organizations.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes, there is no commitment. You can cancel at any time from your account. Your data stays available read-only for 12 months after your subscription ends.

When can I reach your team?

Our team in Lille, France, answers by email and phone Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm CET (3am to 12pm ET).
