Drawer AI Named a Finalist for the 2026 BuiltWorlds Contractor's Choice Awards
Recognition is always meaningful, but it carries extra weight when it comes directly from the people doing the work.
That's why we're excited to share that Drawer AI has been named a finalist for the 2026 BuiltWorlds Contractor's Choice Awards, one of the construction industry's leading technology recognition programs.

The honor comes after Drawer AI was identified as one of the top solutions in the Estimating category through BuiltWorlds' annual Preconstruction Benchmarking Survey, which gathers feedback from contractors and construction professionals actively using technology in the field.
Recognition Driven by Real Contractors
Unlike many industry awards, the Contractor's Choice Awards are rooted in user experience.
The awards celebrate technology solutions that contractors find valuable in their day-to-day operations, based on direct feedback from construction professionals working across preconstruction, estimating, project management, and operations.
Being named a finalist means Drawer AI was recognized by industry peers as a technology helping improve one of the most critical and time-sensitive phases of construction: estimating.
"The biggest benefit isn't just speed. It's giving our team more time to focus on strategy instead of manual tasks."
Helping Electrical Contractors Estimate Smarter
Electrical estimating has traditionally been a labor-intensive process filled with repetitive work. From counting devices and reviewing drawing sets to calculating quantities and validating scope, estimators often spend countless hours on tasks that can delay bid submissions and limit capacity.
Drawer AI was built to change that.
Using generative AI, the platform automatically analyzes PDF drawings, identifies electrical components, and generates detailed quantity reports in minutes. What once required hours or days of manual effort can now be completed significantly faster while maintaining consistency and accuracy.
"We're able to review more opportunities without adding more people. That's a huge advantage."
A Sign of Where Preconstruction Is Going
The construction industry is rapidly embracing AI-powered workflows, especially in preconstruction.
Contractors are looking for ways to eliminate repetitive work, reduce risk, and make faster decisions without sacrificing quality. The growing adoption of intelligent estimating tools reflects a larger shift toward automation and data-driven planning.
Being recognized by BuiltWorlds is another indicator that AI is becoming a meaningful part of the modern estimating workflow.
"We still rely on our expertise and experience. Drawer AI simply helps us get there faster."
Looking Ahead to the Awards Ceremony
The winners of the 2026 Contractor's Choice Awards will be announced during the annual BuiltWorlds Construction Tech Conference on July 15-16.
Whether or not we take home the top honor, we're incredibly proud to be recognized alongside other technologies helping move the construction industry forward.
Most importantly, we're grateful to the customers, estimators, BIM teams, and preconstruction leaders who continue to trust Drawer AI as part of their workflow.
Their feedback drives our innovation, shapes our roadmap, and inspires us to keep building solutions that help contractors work smarter.
Thank You
To our customers, partners, and supporters: thank you. This recognition belongs to the people who challenge us every day to make estimating faster, more accurate, and more efficient.
We're honored to be a finalist, and we're just getting started.
