The Bid Mistakes BidEngine Doesn’t Make

Finishes bids live or die on the room finish schedule — which sub do you trust to read 80 rooms across 20 sheets and not miss the conference room with the special wallcovering? BidEngine reads the finish schedule and wall types together, then reconciles them against the floor plan so you don't lose money on the rooms where Sheet A-201 says one thing and the schedule says another.
