The Bid Mistakes BidEngine Doesn’t Make

Data cabling bids get killed by spec compliance — the GC doesn't care if you're $5K cheaper if your jacks aren't on the approved manufacturer list. BidEngine reads the spec section first, pulls the approved manufacturers and cable color requirements, then builds the takeoff to match — so the bid you submit is the bid that wins, not the bid that gets DQ'd.
