Take off the tank, D-box, piping, and soil absorption system straight from the septic design, price stone and labor from your rates, and send the proposal today.
01
Septic estimating software measures a septic design plan, including tank, distribution box, pipe, and leach field or soil absorption system, then prices precast, stone, pipe, excavation, and labor. KonBid lets septic installers take off the design in minutes and turn it into a branded proposal from their own rates.
Septic systems repeat with small differences: a 1,000 or 1,500 gallon tank, a different field size, a pump chamber on one job and not the next. That makes septic a perfect fit for assemblies and templates. Measure what changed, and let your saved structure handle the rest.
02
Upload the engineer's septic design, calibrate the scale, and measure the soil absorption system as an area with depth for stone, piping as lengths, and the tank, D-box, and fittings as counts. Group them into piping, precast, and stone, then send everything to the estimate in one click.

03
Build assemblies for your standard tank install, D-box, pipe, and field construction with your own supplier pricing, excavator time, and crew labor. Apply them to the takeoff and the septic estimate prices itself, with markups by category and a clear summary of direct cost and bid price.
Save complete systems as templates, like a standard three-bedroom replacement, and start every new bid from a proven baseline. See how pricing works in the construction estimating software, and read how to price excavation work for the dig itself.
04
KonBid generates a branded PDF proposal from the septic estimate so homeowners see a clear, professional scope. When the inspector requires more stone or the field moves, build a change order from the original bid, keep revision history, and export it for signature.
Track every septic bid from open to won in the pipeline so follow-ups do not slip through the cracks during busy season.
