About Bidding.Construction

Bid management written by contractors

Bidding.Construction was built by general contractors for general contractors, and its pitch is aimed at anyone tired of running bids through Excel, fax machines, Dropbox, email and a steady stream of phone calls. Once a project has been set up in the software, an automated routine takes over the chasing.

Invitations, reminders and extra subcontractors

The software sends invitations to subcontractors and then sends reminders to those who have not responded. It also reminds them when a bid is due. If a certain trade has low bid coverage, the software goes looking for more subcontractors, so the contractor does not have to find extra firms by hand when responses are thin.

Free to start, with a paid tier for owners

The vendor offers a free trial, and a contractor can stay on the free level indefinitely. Upgrading is what allows owners and developers to contact the contractor through the platform. The service suits general contractors who collect bids from subcontractors trade by trade and want an end to the manual follow-up that this normally involves.
