I'm Dave, founder of BidBuild. I ran a custom pool construction company for years before building this, and I got tired of not knowing if a job was actually making money until the final bill hit — by then the damage was already done. BidBuild ties proposals, phase-based budgets, POs, bills, and change orders to one budget line per job, so contingency and margin show up live as costs are recorded — not three weeks later in a spreadsheet reconciliation. Proposals are built from trade-specific questionnaires priced straight off supplier catalogs, and BidBuild IQ lets you ask questions about your jobs in plain language and get answers pulled from your own numbers. We built this in the field, not in a boardroom — it's for GCs, home builders, and specialty trades who are done guessing where the money went. Would love your feedback, especially from anyone running job costs off spreadsheets or QuickBooks today. Happy to answer anything in the comments.
