Construction bid management after the ITB.

The category people search, the job we actually do

“Construction bid management software” usually means one of two things: a place GCs post invitations, or a place subcontractors track those invitations. That is the plan-room / bid-board job.

ArosBid starts after the invite is already yours. BuildingConnected, PlanHub, Dodge, and ConstructConnect are invite sources. They connect. They are not rivals. The invitation still has to become a read set, a bid/no-bid, vendor coverage, a leveled number, and a proposal that matches what you priced.

What the process is

• Intake recognizes the ITB and opens the pursuit.
• Document review cites dates, conflicts, LDs, and alternates to page.
• Bid/no-bid is scored against your own GC history — not a hallway guess.
• Vendor RFQs go out as packages, with follow-ups, after a recorded approval during training.
• Leveling reconciles every total and lifts exclusions out of the fine print.
• Budget lands in Excel. The proposal is assembled from decisions you actually made.
• Readiness checks bonding, addenda, and gates before you submit.

Walk the stages on the platform page. The honest comparison is against the manual bid process, not against takeoff.

What this is not

Not a plan room. Not GC-to-sub bid shopping. Not quantity takeoff. Not “best AI estimating software.” Trade contractors already have estimating tools. ArosBid is bid software for the process after those tools have a quantity.
