Construction Bidding Software
Construction bidding software for managing bid packages from invitation to award — distribute documents, manage addendums, compare proposals, and track subcontractor responses.
Why Small Contractors Choose AECify for Bidding
Bidding and procurement are high-stakes: every missed addendum, late clarification, and incomplete bid package costs real money. For small GCs, the bidding process is often run from email and spreadsheets — bid documents scattered across folders, subcontractor lists in address books, and bid comparisons built manually in Excel with no version control.
Small contractors need construction bidding software that centralizes the process without adding overhead. AECify lets you create bid packages, invite subcontractors, distribute addendums, and compare proposals from one dashboard — so you get better bid coverage, fewer scope gaps, and a clear trail from invitation to signed contract.
How AECify's Bid Management Works
Start by creating a bid package — describe the scope, attach drawings and specs, and set the submission deadline. Select subcontractors from your AECify address book or add new ones. AECify sends formal bid invitations with the package attached.
As the bidding period progresses, issue addendums directly through AECify. Every addendum is distributed to all invited bidders with a notification, so nobody misses a scope change. Track which subs have opened the invitation, downloaded documents, and submitted proposals.
When bids come in, compare them side by side. AECify's construction bidding software helps you level bids by highlighting scope differences and pricing outliers. Once you've made an award decision, the full trail — invitation, addendums, proposals, and award — is preserved for compliance, internal review, and lessons learned.
Key Features
Bid invitation and distribution
Create bid packages with scope descriptions, drawings, and specs. Invite subcontractors from your address book and distribute packages with a tracked link so you know who's received and opened the invitation.
Addendum management
Issue addendums during the bidding period and distribute them to all invited bidders automatically. Every addendum is tracked so you can confirm that every sub is working from the latest scope.
Subcontractor tracking
Manage your bidder list with your AECify address book. Track which subcontractors have been invited, which have responded, and which have declined across all your projects.
Bid comparison and leveling
Compare submitted bids side by side. Highlight scope differences and pricing outliers to make informed award decisions based on alignment, not just the lowest number.
Audit trail from invitation to award
Every step of the procurement process — invitation, addendum, proposal, and award — is on record. This defensible trail protects your team during disputes, audits, and closeout.
Built to Replace Scattered Bid Documents and Email
When bid packages live in email and bid comparisons live in spreadsheets, the process is fragile. Addendums get missed because they were sent to the wrong distribution list. Bid comparisons don't account for scope differences because the leveling was done manually. And when a subcontractor disputes the award, there's no single record of what was sent and received.
AECify's construction bidding software replaces this patchwork with a connected workflow. The bid package, addendums, invitations, proposals, and award decision all live in one place — linked to the project and accessible to your team without digging through email archives.
