Questions
It does the bid work your team does not have time for. Bidmere measures quantities from your plans and specs, prices them at the rates you approve and lists assumptions and exclusions. When a bid needs paperwork, we draft the proposal, organize the forms and give you a final review checklist. Your team sets the final price, signs and submits.
A single-trade estimate is $195 to $395 for a small job up to 10,000 SF and $395 to $895 for a mid-size job up to 50,000 SF. Takeoff-only work starts at from $149 and full multi-trade estimates start at from $1,150. Every job gets a fixed quote within 2 business hours, and you pay only after you accept. New customers get 25% off your first estimate. See pricing by job size.
You get a fixed quote within 2 business hours. Single-trade estimates are ready in 48 hours and bid packages in 5 business days, counted from your accepted quote and complete documents. Multi-trade and whole-project estimates get a delivery date in the quote. If the bid date is close, ask about rush: 24-hour rush for 30% more.
Send the project name, the trade or bid type, your bid date and a view-only link to the plans if you have one. That is enough for a fixed quote. You do not need to upload files, and the first form takes text only. Keep confidential pricing out of the first message; a secure exchange is arranged after scope review.
Yours. You approve the labor, material, equipment and subcontract rates, or send the supplier and subcontractor quotes you want used. We build the cost summary from those numbers and show the quantities behind every line. Markup, contingency and the final bid price stay with your team, so the number you submit is always your number.
No. Bidmere prepares estimates and bid material for your review. Your team approves the facts, prices and commitments, obtains any required bonds, signs the forms and makes the final submission. We also do not visit sites, produce shop drawings or guarantee an award. That keeps responsibility for the bid where the owner expects it: with the bidder.
Bidmere works remotely for contractors across the United States. Everything is measured from your digital plans and specifications, so your location does not change the process or the turnaround. Local pricing comes from your own rates and local supplier quotes. If a job needs a site visit, that part stays with your team, since Bidmere does not visit sites.
Yes. Monthly estimating plans give you a set number of bids each month at a fixed fee. Starter is $1,395 per month for up to 6 bids. Pro is $2,595 per month for up to 12 bids. Scale is $4,795 per month for up to 25 bids. Plans suit estimators and owners who bid on a steady schedule and want capacity booked ahead instead of quoting each job. Unused bids roll over to the next month.
Send every addendum with the plan set, and tell us when a new one is issued. We check it against the accepted scope. Changes inside that scope are folded into the estimate. The accepted quote explains how revisions and extra work are handled, so there are no surprises on price before bid day.
Scope, price and timing are confirmed before any work begins.
