Ask our customers why they trust HeavyBid to help manage their project pipeline

(bright music) - When we bid a project in HeavyBid, we transfer that project to HeavyJob, and then we're able to obviously, build that work and track our actual cost, and run our daily production planning reports and our cost reports. And we rotate that back into HeavyBid. And as we are bidding similar projects for similar clients and similar markets, and similar crews, we study that data and that data really helps us become more accurate at the bid table. And it also helps us become better, improved in the field as we can take that data and share it with our field folks, and obviously, analyze that in ways to improve. So, that's far and away the most influential way from my perspective, how those products have helped us. (gentle music)

That data helps us be more accurate at the bid table.

(upbeat music) - What we've heard from kind of our collaboration with peers is that we are on the leading edge on pre-construction and having the foresight of materials, and escalation, and understanding the market conditions correctly to keep the business marching forward. As long as you put that work in the front end, I'd say it's an awesome product. But then it's also very viable if you are a beginner user. You don't need to know all that. You can make it work. (upbeat music)

We are on the leading edge of pre-construction.

Frequently asked questions

What criteria should we use for deciding on which bids to pursue?

Evaluate bids based on your core competencies such as projects that align with your historical profitability, available crew capacity, and geographic expertise. HeavyBid helps you quantify these factors by comparing new opportunities against your optimal project profile and owner history, ensuring you only commit estimating resources to projects where you have a high probability of winning at your target margin.

Can I manage my entire bid pipeline in one place?

Yes. HeavyBid provides a centralized hub to track every project from the initial lead and pre-bid phase through to the final closeout. This eliminates fragmented spreadsheets and ensures that all stakeholders have a single, accurate view of the company’s upcoming workload and deadlines.

Can I see which bids need attention across my pipeline?

Absolutely. The system provides visibility into the status of every bid, allowing you to identify bottlenecks or upcoming deadlines that require immediate action. By monitoring your pipeline in real time, you can ensure high-priority opportunities never slip through the cracks due to a lack of oversight.

How does HeavyBid help our team focus on the right opportunities and improve win rates?

HeavyBid uses automated tools like Quick Pricing and historical win-loss analysis to help you filter out low-probability or low-margin bids early. This allows your estimators to dedicate more time to the high-value projects where you have a competitive advantage, directly leading to a more successful and profitable win rate.

How does HeavyBid support collaboration and consistent bid reviews across teams?

HeavyBid standardizes the estimating process so that every team member follows the same logic, libraries, and review checklists. This consistency makes it easier for executives to perform high-level reviews and for multi-disciplinary teams to collaborate on complex bids without data silos.
