Integrated change order management

Change orders can be organized within the base bid and appear as independent nodes in the B2W menu structure, so estimators can create, manage and track them quickly and easily.
WATCH FEATURE OVERVIEW

Synchronized mobile estimating and bidding

Estimators can work when disconnected from the office server, and new estimates or changes are added when they reconnect. This gives them the flexibility to work remotely or to download a bid locally for closing during bid day.

Faster, automated DOT bidding

B2W Estimate comes with pay item databases for U.S. and Canadian DOT work. Once estimators prepopulate them with their prices, they can download electronic bidding system (EBS) files, conform the estimate automatically to the required DOT format and upload for submission.

Powerful reporting and analysis

Contractors can run reports across any range of previous estimates to analyze historical costs for materials or tasks, margins and variances with actual costs, win-loss ratios, subcontractor performance and a wide range of other data.
SEE EXAMPLE

Vendor and subcontractor RFQ management

B2W Estimate can send RFQs automatically, analyze submitted quotes and select the lowest bidder—or split RFQ groups among multiple bidders—to get to the lowest possible package price.

Historical audit trail

B2W Estimate records the date, time, user and previous values when modifications are made. This creates a detailed log that makes it easy to audit any portion of the bid throughout the process.

Error-check wizard

This valuable, integrated feature scans estimates automatically for dozens of common errors and then takes estimators step-by-step through each potential problem, so they can resolve them.
