Learn morePrice the work your way: flat rate, time and materials, or a combination. Give customers detailed quotes with the products, labor and scope behind the price.
Learn moreProtect the margin
Panel upgrades, rough-ins, service calls and tenant improvements can all land in the same week. Wire, breakers, fixtures and gear move in price, and a missed takeoff item can change the profit on a small job.
BidBuild connects your catalog estimate, material orders and actual job costs. Keep service work and multi-week installs side by side, each with its own budget, so you can review what is carrying the business without waiting for year-end reconciliation.
Keep new estimates tied to current catalog pricing instead of last quarter’s copper and gear costs.
Use shared items and assemblies to make boxes, connectors and fittings part of a repeatable estimate.
Match counter tickets and supplier bills to purchase orders on the right job.
Record customer approval for extra recessed lights or circuits before it becomes a disputed invoice line.
Workflow 01
Catalog bidding
Keep devices, wire, panels, fixtures and labor rates in your catalog. Build proposals from the same items and assemblies so estimators price consistently and reduce forgotten boxes, connectors and fittings.

Purchase orders, bills & contingency
Issue purchase orders against job budget lines and match supplier bills as they arrive. Contingency starts with product items, flows into the proposal and carries into the job. When materials cost more than planned, see the impact on the remaining buffer while the work is underway.
