Bid week means receiving trade bids in a dozen formats and reconciling them into one master sheet by hand, against a deadline that doesn't move. The errors that slip through aren't from bad math — they're from the sheer volume of manual reformatting.
“We had 2 estimators handling everything and received 200+ bids just 4 days before deadline. We kept revising after submission and we found around 0.4% in gaps that were super avoidable if we had more time.”
“This isn't just annoying — it's a huge waste of your time. And worse, it introduces errors and risk into your projects.”
How it works
Skip the reformatting
Paste bids as received, in whatever format each bidder used — no rebuilding them into your template first.
Get one master comparison
Every bid lands on the same scope basis, so the comparison is real instead of an educated guess about what each number includes.
Spot the exclusions before proposal
Flagged gaps mean the 0.4% that usually surfaces after submission gets caught before it does.
