Bid Manager — bid management for regional general contractors

The bid-day scramble

Bid day shouldn't run on email threads and guesswork.

If you're juggling zipped plan sets, a spreadsheet of subs, and a dozen "did you get my invite?" calls, you already know the pain. The big platforms fix it — for around $4,500 a year and a pile of features you'll never touch.

Splitting plans by handCarving a 120-page combined set into individual sheets, one export at a time.

Scattered sub listsContacts spread across email, spreadsheets, and sticky notes — never in one place.

No idea who's biddingYou send invites into the void and hope someone opens them before the deadline.

Addenda chaosA late change goes out — and you're not sure everyone actually got it.

How it works

From a combined plan set to invited subs in minutes.

STEP 01

Upload your plan set

Drop in one combined drawing set or spec book. Bid Manager reads it and splits it into individual sheets automatically — even when there are no bookmarks.

STEP 02

Invite your subs

Pull subcontractors from your own contact directory, organized by trade, and send branded bid invites from your domain in a couple of clicks.

STEP 03

Track & follow up

See who's viewed the plans and who's bidding, and push addenda to everyone at once — no more wondering who got the latest set.

What's inside

The tool that does bid day — and nothing you don't need.

THE HERO FEATURE

Plan-set splitter

Turn a combined set into one clean file per sheet in seconds — auto-detecting sheet numbers straight off the title blocks. The thing the big platforms make you pay up for.

Plan room

Every project's drawings and specs, organized and shareable — subs get exactly what they need.

Contact directory

Your whole sub list in one place, matched to CSI trade codes so you invite the right trades fast.

Response tracking

Know who opened the invite, who's viewing plans, and who's committed to bidding.

Branded invites

Bid invitations go out from your own domain — authenticated, professional, and straight to the inbox.

Addenda in a click

Push a change to every invited sub at once, so nobody bids off an outdated set.
