Bid Estimating and Preconstruction Support
BidAccurate works as an outside bid consultant for subcontractors, general contractors, builders, developers, and architects. We price the job from your drawings and specs, break out material and labor, and include a takeoff you can check line by line.
A tighter number means fewer jobs won at a loss and fewer arguments over missed scope later. It also lets you sharpen your price on the work you actually want.

Why choose us
Numbers you can bid from, at a fair fee
Our estimators work from the full plan set and specs, count what's on the drawings, and price it for your market. Fees stay competitive, and we schedule the work around your bid date so you can chase more jobs.
01
Numbers You Can Trace
Every quantity ties back to a marked-up sheet, and every assumption is written down. If something in the bid looks off, you can see exactly where it came from.
02
One Fee Per Project
You pay a lump-sum fee per project, quoted before we start. There are no hidden fees, and pricing is set up to lower what you spend on estimating today.
03
Built Around Your Bid Date
Tell us when the bid is due. Depending on the size and complexity of the job, we can turn some projects around within 24 hours.

Got Questions? We've Got answers.
What are bid estimating services?
Bid estimating services are outside estimators who price a job for you before bid day. You send the drawings, specs, and scope, and we send back a quantity takeoff and a priced estimate you can use to build your bid. We work on residential, commercial, renovation, and addition projects.
Do you offer bid estimating services for subcontractors?
Yes. A lot of our work is for trade subcontractors who need their scope priced out of a full plan set, like concrete, framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or roofing. We also estimate whole projects for general contractors, builders, and developers.
What else does BidAccurate do besides estimating?
Along with estimates and quantity takeoffs, we prepare shop drawings, permit drawings, architectural drafting, BIM models, and 2D and 3D renderings. Many clients use us for both the bid and the drawings that follow once they win the job.
How do I get a quote for my project?
Send your drawings, specs, scope of work, project location, and bid date through the contact form or by email. We'll review the documents and send you a quote before any work starts.
What file formats can I send?
PDF plan sets are the most common, but you can also send CAD files, BIM models, spreadsheets, specs, addenda, sketches, and site photos. Let us know which source files you have and what you need back when you ask for a quote.
How long does a bid estimate take?
It depends on the service, project size, complexity, drawing quality, and your deadline. Many estimating projects can be completed within a few business days, and we confirm the delivery date after we've looked at your files.
Can you use my company's estimate format?
Yes. Send your spreadsheet template, cost codes, bid form, title block, drafting standards, or BIM requirements at the start, and we'll build the deliverables to match.
Have Plans Ready? Send Them Over for a Quote
Send us your drawings and scope and tell us when the bid is due. We will come back with a quote for the estimate or drawing work.
