Bid More Work

Bid more work than you ever did before in less time than you ever imagined. HeavyBid supports your workflow as an estimator and is designed with maximum efficiency in mind.

Bid items and quantities come in directly from state DOT files and Excel in just seconds. Once imported, quickly build bid items by copying data from previous estimates or pulling in pre-built crews and activities you create and customize. You can even build your entire estimate automatically in just minutes by leveraging your company’s historical estimating data. All you have to do is make job-specific adjustments, take quotes, and price your bid.

Additionally, you can speed things up by printing your bid form or exporting directly to your state’s electronic bidding system. Also schedule your job more quickly by exporting directly to Primavera and Microsoft Project®.

HeavyBid helps you spend less time manually entering data, meaning you’ll bid more work, estimate more accurately, and maximize profit.

Spend More Time Actually Estimating

Work smarter and faster, and be more efficient and productive. HeavyBid helps you automate repetitive and tedious data entry, giving you more time to spend on estimating. With less data entry comes more time to analyze your work for accuracy, work out your schedules, and work with the prices to maximize profit.

You’ll also have more time to examine alternates, analyze what-if scenarios, and work up the difference between self-performed work and subcontractors. Our expansive reporting system lets you see where your costs are and compare to previous bids. You can even import bid histories to compare your prices against years of historical bid data.

Don’t spend time manually filling out a bid form on bid day. Make changes up to bid time, and print proposals instantly or export them directly to DOT’s electronic bidding systems. Edit quotes and prices from subs and suppliers, and then pull them into the bid quickly. With the increased effectiveness and productivity that comes with the investment in HeavyBid, it will virtually pay for itself.

Estimate with Greater Accuracy and Confidence

You can’t bid effectively if you’re not estimating your costs accurately.

With HeavyBid, you’ll not only estimate more accurately than ever before but also be as competitive as possible on every bid. You can break down your resource costs to the lowest level of detail possible. Have complete control of your costs, and estimate with confidence in any situation.

HeavyBid’s integration with other HCSS products results in precision unmatched by anyone else in the industry. Our revolutionary job management software, HeavyJob, records actual cost and production information and sends that information back into HeavyBid. Our fuel tracking software, FuelerPlus, tracks equipment fuel consumption rates in the field, which can be imported by HeavyBid. Nothing is more powerful than having true cost, production, and consumption information from the field, making your future estimating even more accurate.

Reduce Risks and Mistakes

When was the last time you were 100% confident that the estimate you just submitted has no mistakes? Ever win a job you thought was highly profitable only to realize that it wouldn’t be because you left money out of the estimate? Have you accidently left extra money in your bid that cost you a job?

Eliminate math errors by letting HeavyBid do what it does best: crunch the numbers and do the math for you. Instead of tediously performing calculations over and over again, you’re free to analyze your crews and productions, perform what-if analyses, and review your bid thoroughly.

Avoid costly mistakes by identifying potential errors in your estimate. HeavyBid actually takes you directly to each potential error in the estimate so you can quickly review and correct it. It identifies parts of your estimate that haven’t been reviewed yet, lets you know when changes have been made, and gives you a complete audit of any cost or price changes made to the estimate.

Plus, your data and estimates are secure because our security can be customized around your company’s security needs.

Streamline More than Just Your Estimating

Increase your company’s efficiency by integrating your estimating with your everyday operations. You won’t believe how much time you’ll save by taking advantage of HeavyBid’s seamless integration with the other software your company uses.

Export directly to your accounting system to create job budgets. Integrate with scheduling software, such as Primavera, to create resource-loaded schedules. This integration helps eliminate tedious double-entry, reduce costly errors, and save hundreds of man hours.

When teamed with other HCSS products, HeavyBid connects estimating and operations in a way unrivaled by anyone else in the industry. Send your estimate to HeavyJob as your starting job budget, and use its recorded actual costs and productions to increase the accuracy of future estimating. HeavyBid also sends labor and equipment to The Dispatcher as “needs” to request certain employees or pieces of equipment for later work. With HeavyBid’s scheduling module, those needs are automatically scheduled in The Dispatcher. You can also further refine how you estimate your equipment by using the actual equipment fuel consumption rates recorded and calculated in FuelerPlus.
