Most growing contractors need to win more bids – but how can you increase your output when your estimator is already short on time, burning out, and lacking confidence when the majority of his bids don’t get chosen? There’s an app for that. 

Does this sound familiar? Your preconstruction team scrambles to find documents, plans, and information from ITBs. They spend large chunks of time measuring blueprints and then putting together estimates, poring over price lists and doing calculations. Down to the wire, they miraculously submit the bid package just under (or over) the deadline and do it all again the next week. And then, the job (and the next job, and the next job) goes to someone else. All that time used up for nothing. 

This is maybe how the bid process had to work 30 years ago. But it’s definitely not the way it needs to be now, and it’s time for your company to get ahead of the game. 

To win more, your estimators need two things: tools to better use their time and tools (and time) to reduce mistakes and make good decisions.

No matter what your bid-hit ratio, you know your chances of winning increase with the number of bids you submit. Your estimators aren’t super-human, but STACK’s preconstruction software is. Here’s how to get more out of the workday without hiring more people and still reducing your estimators’ load.
