BidTriage

For owners of commercial subcontractors

Stop drowning your best estimators in bid invitations.

Every bid invitation across ConstructConnect, BuildingConnected, and your shared inbox lands in one place. Duplicates are collapsed. The documents behind the invitation are processed and checked against your firm’s own criteria before an estimator opens the package.

Your team starts with the bids most worth their attention.

  • Every platform + your inbox, one place

  • Duplicates collapsed

  • Your signals, your call

  • Every flag cites its source

  • Read-only on your portals and inbox

The problem

Hundreds come in. Only a handful deserve real estimator time.

The same opportunity can arrive through multiple GCs, multiple platforms, and email. Every copy looks urgent.

Meanwhile, the people qualified to decide what is actually worth pursuing are the same people you need doing pricing work.

So firms ration attention. They skim. They work the queue in the order it arrived. And sometimes the right job is the one nobody reached.

What BidTriage does

One queue. Ranked against the way your firm actually bids.

  1. Ingest

    Pull invitations from ConstructConnect, BuildingConnected, email, and other inbound sources into one workspace.

  2. Triage

    Collapse duplicates, process the documents behind each invitation, and flag the criteria your firm cares about.

  3. Decide

    Give the estimator one ranked queue with clear evidence behind every recommendation. Pursue. Watch. Decline. Move on.

Why it is different

This is not another bid source.

The portals are built to deliver opportunities.

BidTriage sits across the sources your team already uses and helps decide which opportunities deserve scarce estimator attention.

You keep the portals. You keep the judgment.
BidTriage clears the intake problem between them.

Why a neutral layer matters →

The morning queue

One ranked list, in the order that deserves attention.

Each row carries its rank, where the invitation came from, how many of your criteria fired, how long is left, and the recommended call: pursue, watch, or decline. The estimator starts at the top and works down. Illustration below; the live queue runs on your own bid flow.

Proof

Already working against real bid flow.

  • Paid design partner

    In commercial specialty contracting.

  • 6,400+ bid records captured

    Real invitations, not seeded test data.

  • 5,500+ documents processed

    The packages behind the invitations, not just the cover sheet.

  • One 1,925-page package in under two minutes

    Captured, text-extracted, and signal-scanned end to end.

Measured across the sources running in production today, document extraction coverage is approximately 94–99%, varying by source.

Out of roughly 300 invitations a month, maybe 10 deserve real pursuit.

That is the pattern we see in real bid flow. The hard part is not getting more invitations; it is finding those ten while there is still time to act.

Trust

Your criteria stay yours. Your estimator stays in control.

  • Every flag cites its source

    The flag points back to the source material that triggered it, so a wrong call is a short read rather than an investigation.

  • Your estimator stays in control

    Your team can inspect the evidence, override the recommendation, and change the signal that produced it.

  • Read-only on your sources.

    BidTriage reads from your connected sources and never modifies them: they are left exactly as they were found.
