Why choose ContraVault AI over Unanet
Unanet is a strong ERP and CRM for GovCon and AEC - great for managing projects, resources, billing, and pipeline once the work is already won.
But when your team is staring at complex RFPs, contracts, specs, and forms, Unanet doesn't give you what actually eats time and margin.
ContraVault AI is built exactly for that pre-award grind.
The Real Reasons Unanet Is Not Enough for AEC Bid Teams
Unanet is great for projects, resources, timesheets, and billing. But it still doesn't tackle the hard part of winning work: shredding multi-volume RFPs, spotting risk in Division 00/01, turning gaps into RFIs, and drafting proposals for DOT, transit, and design-build pursuits.
Unanet focuses on projects, finance, and CRM rather than detailed RFP analysis. There's no AI tool that automatically parses specifications and clauses into structured requirements or highlights risky terms in Division 00/01. Your teams still need to read everything manually.
Unanet tracks opportunities but lacks Go/No-Go automation based on past wins and constraints. There's no AI to draft pre-bid clarifications or RFIs from document conflicts. Bid managers still create synopses and question lists using spreadsheets and emails.
Unanet references ProposalAI, yet this page lacks auto-drafting for method statements, execution plans, or design approaches from past bids. There are also no RFP-specific analytics for win rates by project type or cycle times, making it difficult for AEC firms to pinpoint inefficiencies in the bid process.
What ContraVault AI adds beyond Unanet

RFP/Tender Shredder built for AEC

Go/No-Go, Risk Finder & Pre-Bid Clarifications
Instead of relying on gut feel and spreadsheets, ContraVault AI gives AEC teams a pre-award brain: • Runs Go/No-Go based on margin potential, capacity, geography, delivery risk, and client fit • Uses Risk Finder to flag tough LDs, unrealistic schedules, and one-sided terms • Auto-generates pre-bid queries/RFIs around scope gaps, conflicting specs, and missing details Your leadership gets a single view of Should we bid? What must change? What do we ask in pre-bid meetings?
Proposal AI for construction & engineering bids
Once the tender is understood, ContraVault AI turns that analysis into win-ready submission material: • Drafts technical and management narratives: methodology, phasing, QHSE, stakeholder management • Pulls from past project sheets, resumes, case studies, and boilerplates, all tied back to RFP requirements • Keeps the team 70 - 80% done so they focus on pricing strategy, value engineering, and differentiators The result: your GC, EPC, or design firm can submit stronger, de-risked proposals on 2× more tenders than an Unanet-only stack could ever support
