Take off slabs, footings, walls, and flatwork from PDF plans, price them with reusable concrete assemblies, and send a proposal that matches the numbers you measured.
01
Concrete estimating software measures slabs, footings, walls, and flatwork from plans, converts them to quantities, and prices concrete, rebar, forming, labor, and equipment. KonBid does this in one workflow: digital takeoff for area and length, assemblies for each pour type, and a live estimate that rolls up to a branded proposal.
Concrete bids are repetitive in the best way. A 4-inch slab on grade, a continuous footing, or a sidewalk carries the same pieces job after job. KonBid lets you build those pieces once as assemblies, so every estimate after that is measuring and picking, not rebuilding line items.
02
Upload PDF plans, calibrate the scale, and measure slab areas, footing lengths, and counts for piers or pads directly on the drawing. Set a thickness or depth to turn areas into volumes, and KonBid sends the quantities to a new or existing estimate without copying numbers into a spreadsheet.
When plans are revised, push updated quantities into the estimate so the bid stays in sync. See the full construction takeoff software toolkit, or follow the step-by-step guide to doing a takeoff from PDF plans.
03
Group concrete, rebar or mesh, forming, finishing labor, pump or equipment time, and curing into a reusable assembly. Drop that assembly onto a measured quantity and the full cost builds in one click, using your own supplier pricing and crew production rates instead of a generic cost book.
Markups by category keep material, labor, and equipment margins visible. The estimate summary shows direct cost, markup, and bid price, so you know your number before the proposal goes out. Explore how the construction estimating software handles cost data, crews, and markups.
04
KonBid generates branded PDF proposals straight from the concrete estimate, so the document can never drift from the numbers. When the owner adds a pad or thickens a slab, build a change order from the original bid, track revision history, and export it for signature in minutes.
Save your best estimates as templates for residential foundations, commercial flatwork, or site concrete, and start the next bid from a proven baseline.

This short walkthrough shows the same workflow concrete contractors use every day in KonBid: upload plans, measure quantities, and send them to a live estimate that prices from your own cost database. Watch it, then try the same steps on your own job with the free trial.

FAQ
Quick answers for concrete contractors: KonBid costs a flat $79 per month for your whole company, includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card, and covers digital takeoff, your own cost database, assemblies, proposals, and change orders without per-seat fees or add-on modules.
Yes. Measure the area on the plan, set the thickness or depth, and KonBid returns the volume. Your concrete assembly then prices the material, reinforcement, forming, and labor from that quantity.
Yes. Slabs, sidewalks, driveways, and patios are measured as areas, and footings and walls as lengths. Each can use its own assembly, so foundation and flatwork pricing stays separate and accurate.
KonBid is a flat $79 per month for your entire company, with no per-seat fees. Every estimator, project manager, and owner in your shop can log in on the same plan, and takeoffs, cut and fill, and proposal exports are all included instead of sold as add-on modules.
Yes. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature and no credit card required. Upload a real set of concrete plans, build the estimate from your own rates, and decide with your own numbers instead of a sales demo.
Yes. The KonBid cost database is fully customizable, so you enter your own material, labor, and equipment rates and group them into assemblies once. If you have a large rate sheet in Excel, email [email protected] and the team will help you get it set up.
