What is construction bidding software and how does it work?

Construction bidding software helps builders streamline the bidding process by sending, comparing and organizing bid requests in one place. With Buildertrend, you can keep subcontractors in the loop via email, text or push notifications, set deadlines and convert accepted bids into contracts with just a few clicks.

How does construction bidding software help save time and improve accuracy?

Instead of managing bids through email threads or spreadsheets , Buildertrend keeps everything centralized. You can easily track bid status, access supporting documents, compare responses side-by-side and select the best option faster and with fewer errors.

Can subcontractors submit bids through Buildertrend without an account?

Yes. Subcontractors don’t need a Buildertrend account to submit a bid . They’ll receive an email with a link to review the scope of work, view attached files, ask questions and submit their bid online, making the process quick and simple.

What’s the difference between bidding and tendering in construction?

“Tendering” is the process of requesting pricing for a specific scope of work, while “bidding” is when subcontractors respond with their proposed cost. In Buildertrend, you can manage both, sending out tenders and collecting bids in one place.

Why should I use Buildertrend’s bidding feature instead of managing bids manually?

Buildertrend eliminates the chaos of manual bid tracking. You can send bid invites to multiple subs, attach drawings or specs, compare responses and roll accepted bids into purchase orders or contracts – all from one system. It’s faster, more professional and helps you win jobs with the right team in place.
