Internal Bid Tool
Your costs, your margin, saved so you can compare what you bid and what it actually took.
Who it is for: Contractors who bid real jobs off a takeoff and want their own numbers, not somebody's averages.
What it does
- Build a job from your own line items with your own unit costs. Nothing is guessed for you.
- Set the overhead and profit markup per bid. It starts at 20% and you change it when the job warrants it.
- Every bid is saved, so you can pull two up side by side and compare them.
- Link a bid to a customer, and that customer automatically moves from lead to quoted.
- Import quantities straight from a takeoff export, so the quantities come from the plans and the prices come from you. Low-confidence quantities come across flagged, not silently accepted.
A day with it
- 01A plan set gets taken off. You bring the quantities in instead of retyping forty lines.
- 02You fill in your unit costs, the ones you actually pay, and set your margin for this GC.
- 03The buildup totals up in front of you: cost subtotal, markup, out-the-door number.
- 04It saves. Three months later you pull it back up next to the similar job you bid in the spring and see exactly where you left money.
What it does not do
Printed here before you pay rather than discovered afterwards.
- This is your internal cost buildup, not a client-facing proposal document.
- The takeoff import expects the export format from the Glick takeoff tool. It is not a universal importer for any estimating software.
How it is priced
$39.00/mo, flat. FLAT monthly: build and compare as many bids as it takes, for one predictable price.
