Real-work assessments for AEC professionals

Know they can do the job before you hire.

Prolyvo tests Estimators and Project Engineers on the work they will actually do for a U.S. or Canadian contractor: takeoffs, RFIs, scope review and bid leveling. AI scores it against a fixed rubric and you get a clear report in minutes.

Why this result

One critical skill needs support: Bid Leveling.

  • Missed the excluded ACT scope when leveling three drywall quotes.
What to ask in the interview
  • You have three quotes with different inclusions. How do you level them?
How it works

A real project, not a quiz.

Each candidate gets a different random set of questions from real bid packages and project documents, and must explain their own work at the end.

01

Invite or start

Companies send an invitation by email in two minutes. Candidates can also start on their own.

02

Do the real work

Read drawings, check quantities, write the RFI or the scope email, level the bids. About 25 to 35 minutes on a computer.

03

Get the report

Level per skill, why the result, what to ask in the interview, and a plan for the first 90 days.

FAQ

Questions

How long does it take?

The short assessment takes about 25 minutes. The full assessment adds a written task and a follow up question, about 35 minutes.

How does the AI score the work?

Multiple choice and scenario questions are scored automatically. Written work is scored by AI against a fixed answer key written by construction professionals. It accepts any valid method, and every partly met or missed mark says what was missing.

Can candidates cheat?

Every candidate gets a different random set of questions with shuffled answers. At the end they must explain their own work, and the report shows time away from the test and pastes.

Is it free?

Yes, while we are in beta. Prolyvo will be a paid product later.

What language is it in?

English, because it measures readiness for U.S. and Canadian projects.

Who sees the results?

Whoever started the assessment. If a company invited the candidate, the company receives the report. See our Privacy Notice.
