Protect the margin

The job behind the wall is not always the job you quoted.

Water heater swaps, full repipes and construction rough-ins run on parts, fittings and time. Corroded lines, undersized drains or code updates can change the scope in minutes.

BidBuild connects consistent quotes, parts purchases and supplier bills to each job. Review costs before the invoice goes out and see how changes affect the project, rather than losing them in truck stock or a monthly statement.

Parts that go unrecorded

Keep fittings, valves and extra pipe connected to the job instead of letting small purchases disappear.

Quotes that vary by technician

Give the team a shared catalog so the same water heater replacement starts from the same pricing.

Surprises behind the wall

Document added work and get written customer approval before it becomes a payment disagreement.

Supplier statement reconciliation

Match bills to purchase orders on the job instead of sorting dozens of tickets by hand at month-end.

Three workflows for a clearer plumbing job.

Workflow 01

Catalog bidding

Quote common jobs from your catalog.

Store fixtures, water heaters, pipe, fittings and labor in one shared catalog. Technicians and estimators quote from the same items and current prices, keeping water heater swaps, repairs and repipes consistent across the team.

Explore catalogs

Workflow 02

Purchase orders, bills & contingency

Track every part against the job.

Issue purchase orders to the supply house against job budget lines and match incoming bills. Contingency starts with product items, flows into the proposal and carries into the job. Unexpected parts and extra labor stay visible against the budget and remaining buffer while the job is still open.

Explore contingency tracking

Workflow 03

Client portal & QuickBooks

Approve changes. Close out cleanly.

When a repair grows behind the wall, document and price the change, then share it through the client portal for written approval. Connect job financials with QuickBooks so supplier bills and customer invoices do not need to be entered twice. Check Pricing for integration availability.

Explore the client portal

One view across the company.

When service calls and projects carry their own budgets, purchase orders and bills, you can review which kinds of work need a pricing adjustment before the next season.

  • Keep emergency and scheduled service organized
  • Coordinate technicians and appointments
  • Track stock across service vehicles
  • Present professional upfront pricing
  • Keep mobile invoicing connected to the job
  • Manage recurring maintenance alongside installs
Explore job financials

Stock for the next call.

Review inventory and asset values, transfer items between users and hold stock for sold jobs. Keep the parts your technicians rely on visible across locations.

Explore inventory management

Hours tied to the right project.

Punch in and out of projects and track employee hours and labor costs by project or across the company.

Plumbing contractor questions, answered.

Can I standardize pricing across technicians?

Yes. A shared catalog of parts and labor keeps quotes based on the same items and current prices.

How does BidBuild help capture the parts used on a job?

Record purchases as purchase orders and bills against job budget lines so parts stay connected to the project instead of disappearing into general expenses.

What if the repair turns out bigger than quoted?

Add and price the extra work on the job. Share the change through the client portal so the customer can approve it in writing before it is billed.

Does BidBuild work with QuickBooks?

BidBuild connects with QuickBooks so job financial records can sync without re-entering bills and invoices. Visit Pricing for plan details.

Is BidBuild suitable for new construction plumbing?

Yes. Rough-in and finish projects use the same budgets, purchase orders and contingency tracking as service work, at a larger scale.

Every part. Every hour. A connected job.

Bring quotes, technician schedules, purchasing and customer approvals together in BidBuild.
