What's In The Grid

Four Layers Of One Comparison

Each subcontractor becomes a single column, stacked top to bottom so price never gets read without the scope around it.

  1. Layer 1

    Your Scope Rows

    Column A is your own scope, under four headers: General Scope Items and Division Scope Items, each GC driven or Subcontractor driven. Paste it in or apply a saved template.

  2. Layer 2

    Each Sub's Marks

    Every row is marked Included, Excluded or Silent for each bidder. Turn on the AI comparison to see Inconclusive items, the bid's own words and the page they're on.

  3. Layer 3

    Bid Amounts

    Budget, Base Bid, Bid Adjustments and Adjusted Bid, with bidders read left to right from the lowest price.

  4. Layer 4

    Alternates

    Each sub's add and deduct alternates, in the sub's own words, kept beside the base bid.

The Flow

Four Steps From ITB To Bid Day

You keep your scopes and your bid tab sheet. We handle all the data entry.

  1. Send Us The Invitation To Bid

    Forward each invitation to bid (ITB) to your ConstructionBevy account. We create the project for you in the Bid Coverage Board and give you a unique email address for that one project.

  2. Copy Your Scopes Into Your Project Spreadsheet

    Your bid tab is the Excel or Google Sheets file you use to compare bids. Copy the General and Division scope items from it and use Paste Scopes. They become Column A, blank rows included. We never write your scopes.

  3. Forward Every Sub Bid To The Project Email

    Send every sub bid to the project's email address, or upload it. We read each bid, sort it into the right CSI Division as a bid, a supplier quote or misc, pull out the sub's contact info, inclusions, exclusions and price(s), and match each line to your scope items.

  4. Level Bids On Your Own Sheet

    Bids are read as they arrive in your ConstructionBevy Project. Pick your preferred sub(s) for each division, see each sub’s CSI trades with a summary on hover, copy those bids next to Column A in your own Excel or Google Sheets bid tab, and finish your leveling. No printing bids and no manual entry of subcontractor information.

Plain View And AI Comparison

Two Ways To Read The Sheet

The sheet opens in the plain view, where you mark each cell yourself. Answer Yes to "Show how bids compare with my scopes?" to see the AI's marks, change any of them, and get a short list of items to confirm with subs.

Scope Leveling sheet in the plain view for 09 Finishes in a demo project, with four fictional bidders ordered from lowest to highest price and Included, Excluded and Silent picks.

Plain View

Your own Included, Excluded and Silent pick in every cell, with room for notes.

AI Comparison

The AI's marks with the bid's own words, a Legend, your changes marked GC, and a To confirm with subs list for anything Inconclusive.

Better Scopes, Better Comparisons

Scopes written in the same detail as a sub's bid usually give the most accurate AI comparison. Keep one piece of work per row, say who furnishes and who installs, and use the words subs use in their bids.
