Bid leveling & preconstruction risk management

Know the cost before you commit.

The exclusion you miss on bid day comes back as a change order. MyLevelBid levels every sub's bid against your scope, carries the right number through buyout, and checks every change order against what they bid.

A mySystemsIQ company

Software stores your bids. MyLevelBid understands them.

Every bid becomes a like-for-like grid: who carries each scope item, who excluded it or pushed it to “by others”, and who left it out. Then the same job through buyout and change orders.

Every bid on one scope. The cheapest bid usually isn’t the lowest once the gaps are plugged.

For GC owners

We'll run a change order autopsy on one of your finished jobs.

Send us the bids and the change order log. We read every change order against the bid you awarded and show you, in dollars, where each one came from.

Hours in Excel, done in minutes.

Three steps from inbox to award.

  1. 1
    Bring in the bids you got

    Every sub’s bid, any format: PDF, Excel, Word, even phone scans. Upload them, forward the email, or pick them from your files. Add your scope sheet if you have one; without it, the bids are compared against each other.

  2. 2
    MyLevelBid levels them

    Every line read and mapped to one scope. Every gap, exclusion, and risk flagged and rated high to low, bidder by bidder.

  3. 3
    Check it, then award

    Check any line against the sub’s original bid and correct what was misread. Plug the gaps to see the true low bid, then hand your boss or the owner the sheet.

Your bids stay yours.

Our business is helping you buy better, not selling what's in your bids.

  • Never sold

    We don’t sell your bids, your numbers or your personal information.

  • Never used for training

    Your documents don’t train machine-learning models, ours or anyone else’s.

  • Never shown to other companies

    Not to other bidders, subs or GCs. Each company’s data is kept separate.

  • Encrypted, and yours to delete

    Encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS in the US. Delete your files anytime.

How we handle your data

What it gives back each year
1,200 hours

of estimator time back — about 30 working weeks you can spend bidding more work.
