Bid Leveling

Compare bids that cover the same scope

Subcontractor bids never arrive in the same shape. One includes the hoisting, another does not. Bid leveling is the work of getting them onto the same basis so the comparison is real. PreConstruct puts the bids side by side and shows where they differ.

Common questions

What is bid leveling?

Bid leveling is adjusting subcontractor bids so they cover the same scope before you compare them. Without it you are comparing two different jobs.

Does this replace my bid tab spreadsheet?

It does the same job in one place tied to the project, so the tab does not get lost on someone's desktop after the award.

Can I record which bid won?

Yes, along with the spread to the next bidder.

Does it handle alternates?

Add and deduct alternates can be recorded against a bid.
