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.

Column A

Your Scopes Stay In Your Sheet, Row For Row

Column A is the list of scopes you paste in from your own bid tab, in Excel or Google Sheets. Your General and Division scopes go in as they are, blank rows included. That keeps every row lined up when you paste a sub's bid back into your sheet.

  • Paste, Pick A Division, Set The Split

    Choose the division, paste your General and Division scopes, and say where the General scopes end.

  • Skipped Rows Stay Skipped

    If your sheet has a blank row, Column A has it too. Check your bid tab for hidden rows before you paste. They won’t be included.

  • We Never Write Your Scopes

    You own the scopes and keep your own spreadsheet. We read the bids and line them up against your rows.

  • Sub Incl / Excl Wait For Your OK

    Extra terms and exclusions that subs wrote sit in Sub Incl / Excl. Nothing is added to Column A until you add it.

The Shift

From Manual Data Entry To Real-Time

The leveling work still happens, on your spreadsheet, the manual drudgery doesn't.

The Manual Way

  • Judging coverage by how tall the stack of printed bids is
  • Organizing and printing all the subcontractor bids
  • Manually key in every bid into the "correct" CSI Division
  • GC scopes rarely line up with Subcontractor defined scopes
  • Exclusions and adjustments are manually added by the Estimator
  • One wrong manual entry quietly skews the whole tab

With ConstructionBevy Automation

  • Forward bids to your project's own email address in whatever format subs send them, or upload them
  • Every bid is read and sorted into the correct CSI Division, as a bid, a supplier quote or misc
  • Coverage is the bids that actually arrived for each division, not the size of a printed stack
  • Every scope row marked Included, Excluded or Silent, with Inconclusive items listed to confirm with subs
  • Copy a bid next to Column A in your own Excel or Google Sheets bid tab
  • Export a clean Excel or PDF for one division or the entire project

The Stakes

When Leveling Goes Wrong, It Gets Expensive

Industry research shows what scope bid leveling errors cost once a job is awarded. ConstructionBevy enables the GC to understand every scope row Included, Excluded or Silent.
