Estimating

Build the bid with confidence.

Line items, cost data, markups, and proposal-ready exports in one live estimate. Your number updates as you work, from first quantity to the PDF you send.

KonBid estimates workspace with live line items and bid totals

01

Line items that stay live.

Assemblies, crews, and markups sit in one estimate. Change a quantity or a rate and the bid price updates as you work, so you always know the number you're about to send.

KonBid estimates workspace with live line items and bid totals
Assemblies, crews, markups
Build the bid as one live document. Labor, materials, and equipment sit with the quantities they price.
The number updates as you work
Change a rate or a quantity and the bid price moves with it. No rebuild in a spreadsheet before you hit send.

02

Price from your own numbers.

Build and maintain a proprietary cost database of materials, labor, and equipment rates specific to your crews and region. Group them into assemblies so a complete task drops into the estimate in one click.

KonBid custom cost database workspace
Your rates, your region
Materials, labor, and equipment live in a database you own, not a generic catalog you have to override every bid.
Assemblies in one click
Drop a complete footing or paving assembly into the estimate instead of building it line by line.

03

See the number that matters.

Direct costs, markups, and bid price roll up clearly. Know your margin before you hit send, without rebuilding the total in a spreadsheet.

Direct cost to bid price
See how costs, markups, and margin stack so you know what you're actually sending.
Markups that stay live
Set percent per category and watch the bottom line update in real time. Never submit a bid that doesn't hit your number.

04

Ship proposals that look paid for.

Branded PDFs and polished exports generate straight from the estimate, with custom styles, not rebuilt in Word the night before.

KonBid proposal export workspace
From the estimate, not Word
The proposal is generated from the same numbers you priced, so the PDF can't drift from the bid.
Custom styles
Set up branded, polished proposals the way you want them sent, then reuse that setup on the next job.

05

Start from what already works.

Save estimate and bid templates once, then spin up the next job from a proven baseline instead of a blank page. Standardize the workflow so every estimator starts from the same place.

KonBid estimate templates and presets workspace
Unlimited templates
Save as many estimate and bid templates as you need. No cap when the shop's work mix grows.
Same starting point
Every estimator opens the next job from a proven baseline instead of rebuilding structure from scratch.

06

The estimating toolkit.

Cost data, crews, markups, pipeline, and a proposal that comes from the same numbers you priced.

Custom Cost Database

Build and maintain your own proprietary cost database. Store materials, labor, and equipment rates specific to your crews and region, then pull them into every bid.

Powerful Assemblies

Group materials, labor, and equipment into reusable assemblies. Drop a complete footing or paving assembly into your estimate in one click instead of building it line by line.

Crew & Production Rates

Build estimates around real crew configurations and verified production rates. KonBid calculates duration from quantities automatically so labor hours aren't a guess.
