Tune the dials to your shop. VoltBid drops drafting and pricing time to nearly zero — your estimators still review every line, but the formatting evenings come back.
I used to lose Friday nights to proposal formatting. Now the takeoff is the work — the proposal writes itself and I just red-line it.
The readiness checks caught a missing service feeder section before the GC did. That alone paid for the year.
My PM gets the bid package the second it's done. No more "can you resend that?" emails on bid day.
Something else on your mind? Bring it to the meeting — with a real takeoff, ideally.
No. Most shops build their takeoff directly in VoltBid — areas, components, live totals. CSV import from Accubid, Trimble, McCormick, ConEst, or Bluebeam is there when the count already lives elsewhere.
Accubid, Trimble, McCormick, ConEst, and Bluebeam all export CSVs VoltBid reads directly. Custom column mappings are saved per shop, so a messy export only gets fixed once.
Your shop presets drive everything — labor, markup, burden, overhead, bond, tax. Optionally, live retail lookups pull current pricing from Home Depot Pro and 8+ suppliers. Every line stays editable before generate.
No. The structure comes from your Google Docs template. AI drafts the scope language, inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications — and a review gate sits before publish. You sign off on every word and number.
Into your Google Drive, in the folder you choose, rendered into your template. VoltBid doesn't keep a copy of the finished proposal on its servers.
Yes — org accounts with invites and shared projects are live today. Estimators build, PMs review, owners watch the pipeline. Seats are scoped in your contract.
QuickBooks export, outbound webhooks, contractor pricing accounts (HD Pro, Grainger, Ferguson, Graybar), and full CSV/JSON export of your data.
A bid sheet gives you a number. VoltBid gives you the number plus a formatted, multi-page proposal in your own template — scope, exclusions, pricing tables — in minutes, not evenings.
