The status quo
Bid day shouldn't take a week.
Every $1M–$5M GC we talked to said the same thing: comparing bids is the worst part of the week. PDFs, Word docs, screenshots, handwritten notes. Different line items, different units, different assumptions. You retype them into Excel and pray you didn't miss a row.
“Each subcontractor sends their pricing in a different format. Some skip breakouts for alternates, some don't split up the phases, others include incorrect quantities, turning what should be a straightforward comparison into a tangled mess of numbers.”
“Contractors commonly report spending one to three days per project on bid leveling alone, mostly in Excel.”
“Many receive dozens of bids in unique formats — some PDFs, some Word documents, others perhaps handwritten notes — requiring manual extraction and data entry into spreadsheets.”
For a $1M–$6M GC bidding a $250K–$500K project, that adds up to $1,600–$7,400 per bid when you account for estimating time, sub coordination, and document chasing. Saving even a fraction of that pays for LaborBid many times over.
How it works
From invite to award in one tab.
Send a bid invitation in 60 seconds
Pick the trades, paste the scope, drop in plans. We send each sub a personalized email from your name — not from a marketplace they’ve blocked.
Subs fill out the same form. No login.
One link, one structured form, same line items for everyone. Subs hit submit and they’re done. They don’t create accounts, they don’t get marketing email, they don’t see other GCs.
Compare every bid side-by-side
All numbers, same format, in one tab. Sort by total. Spot the outlier. Catch the missing line. Award the job before the coffee gets cold.
Subs don't need an account. They click an email link, fill a form, hit submit. That's it.
Every other tool in this category requires subs to create a login. That's why GCs hear “sorry, didn't see your invite” three weeks later. We don't do that.
