Bids Estimation Inc is a construction estimating and quantity takeoff service provider based in New Jersey, USA. Its website indicates that it primarily serves U.S. general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and large commercial construction companies. Rather than being a typical self-service SaaS platform, it is closer to a professional outsourcing service that combines a human estimating team with industry software tools, helping clients quickly produce material quantities, cost estimates, and reports during peak bidding periods.
Its services cover material Quantity Takeoff, construction cost estimating, commercial/residential estimates, scheduling, and CAD drafting. Specialized trades include concrete, earthwork, drywall, landscaping, flooring, MEP, demolition, masonry, framing, structural steel, painting, roofing, and more. The website mentions the use of tools such as PlanSwift, Bluebeam, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Land F/X, and On-Screen Takeoff, and reports can be delivered in Excel, PDF, or cloud-based formats. Some commercial projects are claimed to be deliverable within 24-72 hours.
There are no standard pricing plans. Quotes are mainly provided on a per-project basis via Get Free Quote or Request a Quote, with an emphasis on pay-as-you-go pricing and no long-term contracts. This may suit companies that do not want to hire estimators full-time. For collaboration, the website says it can integrate with existing client workflows, provide one-on-one reviews, and customize reports to match ERP or estimating platform formats. However, it does not appear to offer SaaS-style collaboration features such as user accounts, role-based permissions, approval workflows, or team workspaces.
Its strengths are broad trade coverage, a clear focus on construction bidding scenarios, and suitability as overflow capacity for in-house estimating teams. It may be particularly useful for large commercial projects, multi-site projects, and urgent bids. The drawbacks are limited pricing transparency and limited disclosure around sample reports, SLAs, refunds, and quality/liability boundaries. It also does not provide key enterprise software information such as data security compliance, APIs, developer support, self-hosting, or cloud deployment options. Some website copy also feels templated and contains spelling issues.
It is best suited to general contractors, subcontractors, flooring/landscaping/drywall and other specialty contractors bidding on construction projects in the U.S., especially in New Jersey, as well as companies that need temporary additional estimating capacity. Chinese users working on U.S. projects can communicate by email and phone, but payment methods, cross-border contracts, time-zone collaboration, and network accessibility are not disclosed. For projects in mainland China, it is usually better to first compare local cost consulting services, quantity surveying/cost estimation tools such as Glodon, or build an internal workflow using software such as Bluebeam and PlanSwift.
