A veteran-owned low-voltage subcontractor was spending 4-8 hours per bid and missing deadlines regularly. After deploying BidEngine, the system auto-detected bid opportunities from PlanHub, scanned blueprints for device counts, and generated professional quotes with real vendor part numbers -- all without the owner touching a spreadsheet.

BidEngine runs dedicated estimating engines for each CSI division: 03 Concrete, 09 Finishes, 21 Fire Suppression, 22 Plumbing, 23 HVAC, 26 Electrical, 27 Communications, 28 Electronic Safety & Security, 31-33 Civil and Site Work, and 40+ Industrial Systems. New division modules are continuously added based on real-world contractor use.
The AI reads device schedules first (most accurate), then verifies with symbol counting. When both sources agree, accuracy is 95%+. You can always adjust counts before sending the quote.
The system can estimate from project description, building type, and square footage using industry standards. These are clearly marked so you know the confidence level.
Yes. You set your vendor prices, labor rates, overhead, profit margins, and tax rate. The system uses your numbers for every quote.
Yes. The system auto-monitors both platforms for new bid invitations. New projects appear in your dashboard automatically with plans downloaded and analyzed.
AI reads the project specification document, finds the Division 27 (or your trade's) sections, and extracts approved manufacturers, cable types, colors, and product requirements. The system then auto-selects the right vendor parts for the quote.
Yes. Monthly billing, cancel anytime. No contracts, no setup fees, no hidden charges.
Most customers are generating quotes within 24 hours. We set up your vendor pricing, connect your PlanHub account, and configure your quote template. You start bidding the same day.
PDF blueprints and ZIP files containing PDFs. The system handles multi-page PDFs and large files (100MB+) by automatically splitting them into individual sheets and filtering for your trade.
Yes. Every quote lands in your dashboard where you can adjust quantities, swap parts, change labor rates, and update pricing before generating the final PDF.
Every quote shows a confidence level (high, medium, low) based on whether device schedules and symbol counts agree. You can review and override any count before sending. The AI learns from your corrections over time.
Yes. Blueprints are processed and not stored permanently. Your pricing, vendor rates, and client data are encrypted and never shared. Each account is fully isolated.
Traditional takeoff tools measure areas and lengths. BidEngine goes further -- it counts devices, looks up real vendor part numbers, applies your pricing, and generates a ready-to-send PDF quote. You skip the takeoff step entirely.
