Bid Bench

Bid Bench is a professional pre-construction and bidding platform designed specifically for small to mid-sized General Contractors who need to move faster without adding administrative overhead. It serves as a centralized cloud workspace that replaces the disjointed workflow of buried emails, local file folders, and error-prone Excel spreadsheets.

The platform was born out of a real-world construction firm to solve the "Information Handoff" problem. Instead of performing hours of manual data entry, Bid Bench users leverage automation to keep their projects organized and their profit margins protected.

Core Features: AI Proposal Parsing: Stop manually typing data from subcontractor bids. Our AI automatically extracts line items, costs, and exclusions directly from PDF proposals and populates your project budget instantly.

Centralized Cloud Storage: Keep every plan, spec, and addendum in one secure location. Share files with subcontractors and track exactly who has opened or downloaded them to ensure everyone is building from the same set of drawings.

Subcontractor Management and ITB: Send professional, branded Invitations to Bid (ITB) in seconds. Manage your trade partner database and track bid status in real-time without the follow-up phone calls. Dynamic Budgeting: Build detailed project budgets organized by CSI divisions or custom categories. Compare subcontractor quotes side-by-side to identify "apples-to-apples" value and catch scope gaps before they become expensive change orders.

Client-Ready Exports: Generate polished, professional budget proposals for your clients with a single click. Maintain full control over what data is shared, allowing you to present a transparent, professional bid that builds trust.

Bid Bench was designed by a General Contractor to be functional on day one. There are no expensive implementation fees or months of training required. Whether you are managing a high-end custom home or a complex commercial fit-out, Bid Bench provides the tools to run a fast, organized, and professional bidding process.
