SmartBid

Bid networks Built for: General contractors Quote only

A GC-side bid management tool, owned by ConstructConnect, for managing the sub database, prequalification, invitations and bid comparison.

What sets it apart

Subs invited to bid or prequalify pay nothing; the GC pays an annual license that scales with users. The standard license includes the sub database, prequalification, unlimited online plan-room projects and the BidTabs comparison tool, with Procore and Autodesk BIM 360 integrations. Faxing to subs is available at 8 cents a page, and on-site training costs extra.

Best forGCs that want invitations, prequalification and bid leveling in one license with a Procore or Autodesk link.
