Bid day goes more smoothly when the decisions that can be made early are made early. BidMatrix gives your team one place to collect subcontractor quotes against bid packages and level them side by side. This checklist covers the work around it, so estimators and bid managers can prepare packages ahead of time, keep the review orderly as quotes arrive, and learn from each bid afterward.
It is meant to be copied for each bid, with an owner assigned to each section before the day begins.
What’s inside

- Settling roles, cut-off times and required documents in advance
