Bid Detail Module

Precision at Its Core

The Bid Detail module is the foundation of the Cert-In Bid Manager, offering users a detailed view of their estimates. This module allows for an in-depth analysis of every aspect of a project estimate, down to the most miniature assemblies and part numbers. It uses pivot tables to easily navigate the project documents, ensuring estimators can quickly find and review necessary details. This module is essential for those seeking exactness in their bids.

Bid Summary Module

Expanding Beyond the Estimate

Building upon the detailed estimates provided by the Bid Detail module, the Bid Summary module introduces the ability to incorporate additional expenses and labor allocations into the bid. This flexibility is crucial for creating comprehensive and competitive bids. Estimators can add costs not initially included in the take-off details, such as rental equipment, subcontractor fees, and special labor. The module's pivot table functionality offers unparalleled clarity, allowing for a detailed review and adjustment of the estimate.

Change Order Module

Managing Project Changes with Ease

The Change Order module mirrors the functionality of the Bid Summary module. It is designed explicitly for managing changes in project specifications and is invaluable for keeping bids up-to-date and accurate throughout the project lifecycle. It allows estimators to swiftly adjust their bids in response to changes, ensuring continuous alignment with project requirements.

Enhanced Labor Allocation and Schedule Management

A standout feature of the Cert-In Bid Manager is its sophisticated labor allocation system, which assigns labor to a three-year work schedule calendar. This system categorizes workers by classification (foreman, journeyman, apprentice), clearly projecting labor requirements and facilitating the calculation of an average labor rate. This feature not only enhances the accuracy of bids but also provides a strategic overview of labor needs over time.

Customization and Clarity in Bid Preparation

The Cert-In Bid Manager excels in its ability to tailor bids to any format, ensuring estimators can match their bids to specific bid forms line-by-line. This level of customization, combined with the comprehensive summary page that calculates tax and profit by project totals, ensures a complete and competitive bid total. Moreover, all bid information is saved to a bid budgeting page, aiding in the projection of budgets for similar future projects.

With its blend of detailed analysis, customizable expenses, and strategic labor allocation, the Cert-In Bid Manager provides a comprehensive solution for contractors who want to enhance their bidding accuracy and efficiency.
