As their project list grows, general contractors are constantly looking for new subcontractors to work with on more and more projects. Unfortunately
SmartBid is the leading invitation to bid software for commercial general contractors worldwide. With the SmartBid bid management software, GCs can access a web-based and mobile platform to streamline their bid project data, documents and subcontractor communications during preconstruction.
WHAT OUR USERS SAY
“Absolutely love it.”
“We had been using iSqFt for so long until we stumbled on this amazing product. Absolutely love it. It’s very simple to use and has tons more features. There are constant updates and enhancements made based on user review and comments, which is wonderful.”
Batson-Cook Company
“Leads the Industry.”
“SmartBid has allowed us to pull together all of the offices for our entire company into a cohesive, well-organized, properly restricted system for the first time ever. SmartBid leads the industry in ease of access and ease of use for subcontractors.”

“So much more effective.”

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.

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.
