A GC collecting five bids for the same scope is really collecting five different scopes with five different price tags. Reconciling them by hand means copying numbers into a master sheet and hoping nothing got missed along the way.
“Get 3 quotes per trade (subs and suppliers), Compare them side-by-side, Build a clean master estimate, Add overhead + profit correctly.”
“You send out a clean, structured Excel file. Three bidders return it with deleted rows, rearranged columns, and weird formulas you didn't add.”
How it works
Paste every bid, whatever the format
PDF, Excel, a locked spreadsheet from a sub who ignored your template — Bid Leveller reads what you paste and pulls the line items out itself.
See what's actually comparable
Bids get normalized onto a common scope basis, so a lower number that quietly excludes demo isn't sitting next to one that includes it without a flag.
Catch what each bidder left out
The comparison surfaces exclusions and gaps by bidder, so you know what's missing before award — not after the first change order.
