BID MANAGEMENT. SIMPLIFIED.®
Send Invitations to Bid
Build custom communications or use our template library to send invitations to bid from one centralized location. Receive bid proposals, send requests for more information, and know the progress of your subcontractors' bids at all times.
Share Project Documents
Send subcontractors customized access to your online plan room to review project documents and submit proposals. Monitor what plan files they view and download and collaborate on estimating using our takeoff integrations.
Manage Subcontractor Data
Our centralized, online dashboard allows your bid team to efficiently manage your private subcontractor database. Organize subs by trade, location, minority status, and more. You can even grow your network as needed by integrating our Public Registry of Subcontractors.
Prequalify Subcontractors
Our ConsensusDocs 721 form integration and custom prequal questionnaire builder allow you to find the right subs for every job. You define the review process and you can even set auto-notifications for timely renewal.
