Construction estimating software and construction bid software in one: the plans come in, the estimate is built by CSI division, the sub bids are leveled, your markup goes on, and the proposal goes out as one PDF.
Upload the bid set to the job. Take off areas, lengths and counts on the sheets, and the quantities carry into the estimate lines they price.
Each line takes a MasterFormat cost code, a quantity, a unit and a cost, and the estimate totals by division. Small jobs can use a plain itemized list instead.
Put a bid package out and your subs bid it online through its link. The bids line up side by side with the apparent low, the spread and each one against your estimate, and the award becomes the subcontract. Quotes that come in by email go on the estimate by trade: mark each scope item in, out or qualified, carry a plug for what a quote leaves out, and use the leveled number. An item nobody covers goes on the Scope Gap Log.
General conditions, contingency, overhead and profit, insurance and bond, each figured on the subtotal above it the way contractors price. Every step shows its dollars, and the total markup sits on its own line above the base bid.
The letter, the scope, the price, exclusions and clarifications print as one proposal PDF with your letterhead. Win the bid and the estimate becomes the job budget.
Yes. Every line takes a CSI MasterFormat cost code and the estimate totals by division, the way most bid summaries read. A small job can use an itemized list instead.
Yes. Enter each quote on the estimate under its trade, mark what it includes and leaves out, and the leveled totals show which quote is really low. Subs you send a bid package to can bid it online instead.
You set general conditions, contingency, overhead and profit, insurance and bond as percentages. Each step is figured on the running subtotal and rounded to the dollar, so the sell price matches how you would work it by hand.
Mark the bid awarded and the estimate becomes the job budget by cost code, so the job cost report compares what you spend against what you bid.
