What is Quick Bid?

Quick Bid is a construction estimating solution that helps organizations deal with bid jobs quicker and with more accuracy. Quick Bid helps contractors reduce discrepancies, identify risk factors, gain material quotes, and generate multiple reports. The software supports a variety of trades including, electrical, concrete, firestopping, interiors, flooring, landscape, roofing, masonry, steel framing, and woodworking.

Seamless integration with On-Screen Takeoff allows users to perform quantity surveys and transit data directly to Quick Bid. The platform streamlines the estimating process by automating and consolidating various functions, and minimizing miscommunications and duplications. Organizations can see immediate improvements in efficiency, as well as reduce manual data-entry errors. With ‘bid areas’, users can divide quantities by building, floor, room, wing, or elevation, and create stocking lists by those areas.

The Quick Bid platform allows bids to be adjusted easily, allowing for last-minute addendum changes to be recalculated. Users can manage bids with the solution's 'Bid Navigator' that creates tabs for each bid and allows users to view conditions, equipment, labor, markups, and materials. The master database tables enable users to build price bids, modify and manage contacts, manufacturers, assemblies, and account codes.

Quick Bid helps eradicate inconsistent bidding by automating the estimating process which includes quantification of material waste, current cost identification, and quote comparisons from suppliers. Users with a maintenance subscription have access to eQuotes, which allows them to send and receive quotes from suppliers electronically. Quick Bid offers custom or template assemblies in order to generate more accurate and detailed bids.

Benefits of using Quick Bid

With Quick Bid, users can efficiently generate new estimates to increase the chances of winning more bids.

Quick Bid’s databases automatically create a resource library of equipment, supplier parts, and material costs.

The platform helps organizations pull takeoff summaries to pinpoint accurate material and labor costs.

Quick Bid helps organizations reduce calculation errors by enabling users to track and calculate square footage, linear runs, counts, and more in real time.

Quick Bid provides thirteen built-in reports that are sorted into four distinct categories including bid reports, analysis reports, labor reports and materials reports.

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“Once setup, it works good and comes with great support.”

President

Cons

“Back up service in Australia is poor referring you to a contact in Brisbane which is pretty useless when your in Perth.”

Sean L.

Estimator

“The codes and sections are the most difficult. I have had to create different codes for the same type of material with different styles because the cost will not adjust to the style.”

Vanessa M.

Admin. Asst

“Fairly dumb program in that to do a complete build up estimate you Either have to pay another 4K for quick bid or develop a excel spreadsheet and live link the data which is sometime temperamental.”
