OUT TO BID
TODAY

JOB BIDDING PROCESS...

Job bidding process today is much easier and more streamlined. Bid invites are sent by email that provides a link to load plans, specifications, bid forms and miscellaneous documents.

There are quite a few vehicles and plat forms utilized by general contractors to get projects out to bid. Sample list is itemized below:
  1. General contractor’s email a bid invite from their own office.
  2. Monthly plan room service will load up your project plans and related documents and broadcast to their list of sub-contractor subscriber’s.
  3. Some contractor’s will utilize a plat form where they load their specific project documents and send a bid invite to their subs and vendors. This is actually a very good method to solicit sub-contractor pricing since separate folders are listed as plans, specifications, addendums and forms, etc.
Only a short list of available methods to get bids is listed here. The common denominator in limitations that these methods have is the same list and / or audience that are used to get pricing.

Number of sub-contractor bids for each scope of work and / or trade received by the general contractor’s is limited by the subs in their own email data base. And the number of subscriber’s for the monthly lead service.

So bid results can kind be pre-determined if your sub’s numbers are high. Read on the pages to follow where you can see how we are working to utilize a cost effective method to get more sub-contractor bids per trade and / to scope of work.
