Amplifying Expertise: How Bidaya AI Enables ACI to Focus on Design Excellence

The Philosophy: Innovation for Client Value

At ACI, the focus has always been on delivering value to clients through exceptional design and technical expertise. Committed to maintaining high standards, ACI uses leading-edge technology to refine daily processes and strengthen workflow efficiency. This allows the team to dedicate more time to what matters most: addressing the unique design challenges of each project.

The Challenge: Administrative Burden

Proposal submissions in the architecture and construction industry are content-heavy and time-intensive. From parsing complex RFPs to customizing resumes, the administrative workload often eats into the time teams want to spend on creative strategy. ACI sought a solution that could handle this heavy lifting without compromising the quality or security of their proprietary information.

The Solution: A Secure, Internal Knowledge Engine

ACI partnered with Bidaya AI to implement a secure, firm-specific knowledge engine. Unlike generic AI tools that pull from the open internet, Bidaya operates exclusively within ACI’s secure environment. It acts as a "second brain" for the firm, instantly recalling ACI’s past projects, team experience, and verified data.

It’s not about having AI generate writing, it’s about utilizing our own knowledge base more effectively. We aren’t relying on the integrity of the internet, we are drawing on our verified library to convey our team’s strengths and approach.

Real-World Impact: Streamlining Complex Pursuits

The strength of this partnership was recently demonstrated through the successful delivery of large-scale infrastructure and institutional proposals. These proposals often require detailed bios, work histories, and specific project relevance for a team of selected personnel including sub-consultants.

Before, this process involved hours of manual searching, copy-pasting, and formatting. With Bidaya AI, the system automatically aggregates individuals’ data, matches it against RFP requirements, and formats the output to align perfectly with the proposal’s structure.

The Result: Stronger Compliance, Less Friction

Beyond saving time, ACI utilizes Bidaya’s "Compliance Review" to act as a second set of eyes on complex RFPs, checking that all requirements are accounted for in the draft phase. By automating the retrieval of data and compliance checking, ACI’s team is not bogged down by data entry, and can instead focus their attention on delivering proposals that are thorough, accurate, and of the highest quality.
