Save time on collecting and comparing construction bids

Main contractor bidding software allows estimators and quantity surveyors to submit requests and evaluate proposals.

You can link your tenders to your budgets and see exactly what jobs you made a profit on. You can also have your subcontractors upload bids without you having to do anything else.

Prepare and send out the tender request with ease.

Main contractors have many suppliers and often mainly work with subcontractors. This means you must get bids from your suppliers before the work starts.

Creating a tender request is easier than sending one via e-mail. You enter your subject and description, select the documents you want to share with your subcontractors and select the subcontractors from your subcontractor database.

The subcontractors then submit their bids with the structure you defined. They can also make changes to prices, job descriptions, and quantities themselves. When analysing, you are highlighted by the changes to quantities and prices.

Compare the offers from your subcontractors side by side

You can see exactly who looked at the tender request and the documents. In addition to that, you can also clearly see who already submitted their bid and who didn’t.

If you need more bids to make a decision, you can easily follow up with the subcontractors who have not read the documents or made a bid yet.

All bids are received in one format and are ready to be compared line-by-line.

When you find a bid that you are happy with, you can easily convert it into a contract and start tracking its fulfilment.

"I chose Planyard because it stood out as the most straightforward and intuitive option on the market. I really wanted a tool that would simplify our existing processes and make everything more efficient, rather than switching to a system that was far too complicated for us to use on a daily basis."

"For me Planyard is essentially the go to software for SMBs. There are other software packages out there that are a large investment upfront with a significant monthly cost. These are all potential solutions once you get to a very large business but they are not a solution for SMBs."

"Timewise, on a single project, I'd probably save 6 to 8 hours—essentially a full day every month. When it comes to processing monthly payments, it saves me a solid day, perhaps even a day and a half, just in sorting through the invoices. Saving a day and a half of my time means the system pays for itself time and time again."
