Our Purpose:

To help your company win more bids by providing you with the most accurate, precise and detailed electrical estimates as possible. We never share your bids with any other contractor and we back this with our confidentiality guarantee. You can estimate and bid jobs in-house with or without estimators, but our goal is to not only win the bid but help you increase your profit potential. Winning the bid is easy but winning the bid and making money on that project can be the difficult part. When you hire our company you are hiring an entire team of estimators and business professionals to work for you!

Choose what's right for you:

Electrical Contractors with or without estimators can choose between two different service packages available.

Assist^TM service package

We will assist your current in-house estimators to prepare a complete and accurate estimate ready for your electrical company to turn in on bid day.

Complete^TM service packager

We do it all for you; it is that simple. This will free up your time and save you the hassle of completing an estimate from start to finish. We will find you jobs to bid and get the plans for you (if needed), prepare the bid in your name, estimate the project, get a current bidders list, submit your bid and track the bid until awarded.

Here's how our service works:

One: Free Project Locator

If you have trouble finding work we offer a FREE project locator service to your company that will look up projects in your local area based on the types of jobs you like and the counties you work in.

Two: Acquire Plans

We will find the plans for the projects you choose, or if you have access to the plans, you can FedEx them straight to our office.

Three: Estimating Packages

You can choose from several different estimating packages that best fit your company's needs. Takeoff, Assist or Complete packages are available.

We also offer budget or design services for you when projects don't have complete drawings available.

Four: Acquire Bidders List

No need to worry about losing the bid if your contractor doesn't get the job. We will get a complete bidders list so your bid goes to every contractor bidding the project.

Five: Introduction Packets

It is important to look as professional as possible because contractors sometimes don't like accepting bids from subcontractors they don't know. We conquer this by sending an introduction packet to help you win more projects.

Six: Pre Bid Activities

There is a lot that goes on behind the scene when preparing a bid, but don't worry we have it all covered for you at iBID. We review specification, notes, send out for quoted material, subcontractor pricing and have you ready for bid day.

Seven: Precise Take-off

With accurate labor hours and material pricing, guessing and hand take-offs are a thing of the past. We use state of the art industry software to prepare every estimate giving your company the edge needed in this crazy market.

Eight: Error Checking

With many different eyes looking at your bid, you can be assured that you will have the most accurate estimates possible. Giving you peace of mind knowing that there are many checks every step of the way though the bidding process.

Nine: Bid Closeout

Knowing how the numbers need to all come together on bid day for a competitive estimate is just as important as an accurate take-off. We will show you what your true break-even costs are and calculate your exact overhead and burden to allow your company to make the most profit possible on any estimate.

Ten: Post Bid Follow Up

Winning the bid does not just stop on bid day. We make results calling on ALL the estimates to help your company win the most jobs possible. Using these results in our tracking system we help you increase your bid-win ratio percentages and dial your numbers into your current local market.

Eleven: Cash Flow & Profit

Any estimator can win you a job but what good is it if you don't make a profit. Give us a call and we promise you won't get a pushy salesman, but you will get the information on how to make the most money possible on any job we estimate for you.

Twelve: Cost Savings

In most areas our estimating service is less the average cost per week of hiring an estimator. Use us as needed when you don't have an estimator on staff.
