Construction Estimating Software Features - Sub/Supplier Bid Management
Request, collect and update prices from subs and suppliers by fax or email.
Do you self-perform work? Or do you manage work? Most contractors do a combination
of both. Whether you're a general contractor or homebuilder who engages in competitive
bidding or a subcontractor who needs up-to-the-minute pricing from suppliers, you
will appreciate the powerful bidding features integrated into Corecon's estimating
system.
Unlike most bid invitation software products on the market, Corecon's Bid Management
capabilities are fully integrated into the Estimate Takeoff system. Thus, you will
not need to re-enter your bids into a spreadsheet or another estimating system to
prepare a proposal. Plus, if the project has been awarded, Corecon has built-in
wizards that will automatically setup POs and/or Subcontracts based on the bid details.
This will save valuable time in your buyout phase and eliminate data entry errors.
Built-in Collaboration For Free
Corecon does not just offer a method to send out bid invitations via fax or email.
With built-in collaboration capabilites for free, estimate line items can be tagged
for each sub or supplier in the bidder list. Then, a detailed invitation can be
sent to them which includes a link and password to access a secure Web site where
they can remotely update and lock in their bid. With Corecon's bid analysis feature,
you'll find the lowest bidder in plenty of time for bid day.
