Drop your PDF—AI identifies all trades and writes scope notes in minutes.

Tap our verified network + your preferred vendors. Personalized invites get 2x more responses.
See who's opened, who's bidding, who needs a nudge. Auto-follow-ups keep subs engaged.
Upload a single ZIP or Drive link and Downtobid auto-sheets, titles, and indexes every drawing. Subs get a clean plan-room URL—no hunting through folders
Click once to generate an editable, one-line scope description plus sheet refs for any trade. Nothing is sent until you approve or tweak the text.
First invite goes out instantly; two polite follow-ups schedule themselves and pause the moment a sub answers. You stay top-of-mind without ever spamming.
Replies auto-tag as Bidding, Declined, or No reply and fill a live progress bar. You know by the next morning which trades are safe and which still need help.
250 000+ active commercial subs—phone, email, license date—refreshed weekly. Filter by trade, ZIP radius, union status, then invite in two clicks.
Save your favourite bid instructions, follow-up cadence, and trade sets as reusable templates. Launch the next project in minutes instead of starting from scratch.
All sub replies—quotes, questions, declines—land in one searchable thread inside the project. No more digging through Outlook to find who said what.
Drop in your existing sub spreadsheet and we’ll match names, fill missing contact info, and de-duplicate. Export everything any time—your data stays yours.
Each GC sends from a unique, SPF-aligned sub-domain with warmed IPs and matching branding. Invites hit the primary inbox, not spam or “Promotions”.
Add private notes (e.g., “asks for net-30”) and color tags to any subcontractor. The context travels with every future project so you remember who’s reliable.
