Designed to make estimating easy for tradies
Do you ever sit there and say to yourself “I wish my job was more complicated than it needs to be?” If you’re nodding your head, then we’re sorry. Our mechanical estimating software can’t help you.
But you’re not nodding your head, are you? Nobody, especially not HVAC and mechanical tradies, want their jobs to be more difficult.
That’s why we released RapidBid in Australia. To make life easier. To make sure that it doesn’t take more time to bid for a mechanical job than it would to actually install the HVAC or mechanical equipment in the job itself.
RapidBid keeps your costs down, reduces the time you spend on estimates, and helps you get your bids in first.
“I have a mate who is an electrical contractor and he was telling me that he spent three weeks pricing a $200,000 job by hand. I told him that with my estimating and PDF take off software, I started a $700,000 job yesterday and finished it today!”
“As much as I would hate to help any of my competitors, I have to completely endorse RapidBid in all that it offers for a business. Our quotation rate has increased from 50 to over 200 quotations per month.”
“RapidBid is a lifesaver. It’s so easy to use, I just open the drawings and within minutes I have scaled, marked and priced up all my materials and labour. It has increased the speed that we can win work four times over, at least.”
“At last, take-offs for the 21st century! After years spent marking up drawings with highlighters and producing takeoff sheets, this is a revolution in estimating. Just can’t live without it – I now takeoff five projects in the time it used to take to do just one.”
“RapidBid easily saves me 90% of my takeoff time, so it’s extremely useful for projects that need a quick turnaround. Brilliant software that is so easy to use.”
“Now, overall from top to bottom, RapidBid’s software saves me about 70% of my time, and that makes an amazing difference. Quotes that took me five days before now take me less than two days, and I’ve only been estimating since January.”
“I work as an estimator Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5, and your software and support is first class. I can takeoff and price well over 10 drawings in less than an hour, this used to take me half a day before! I just love how simple it is.”
We used to do takeoffs with a scale ruler and a pencil which was very time consuming, and now we have a much quicker takeoff time. We only spend around 1 or 2 hours doing takeoffs with RapidBid’s software and before it used to take us about 5 or 6 hours.
“We used to have a three or four-process estimate which was over-complicated, but now we have a simple, one-process estimate. We definitely recommend!”
“Time saving is the biggest advantage for us by far. RapidBid saved us about 80% of our time and increased our productivity 50%.”
RapidBid mechanical and estimating software has been designed to simplify your takeoff and bidding process, turning what used to escalate into an evening-long slog into something you can complete in under an hour.
Tradies who download our estimating program save up to four hours on each job they bid on, and they use that time to either pitch for more business and increase their profits, get back on site and make sure their current jobs are going as planned, or just by enjoying more free time. Not that they need to choose – a quick look at our savings calculator shows there’s enough time to do all three.
However you choose to spend the time you’ve saved is up to you. But here’s an idea of just how our bidding and takeoff tools save you time and money:
No printing costs: Unlike manual takeoffs, you can do everything on-screen.
Instant reviews and comparisons: Sifting through drawings? Wondering if anything’s changed? Our RapidCompare and RapidReview tools make checking your drawings and plans a breeze.
Automatic scaling: Measure linear distances and areas in seconds, and tally up just how much ductwork, wiring or other materials are required for a job.
Automatic counting: Once you’ve tagged a material, autocounting will provide you a total for the whole plan in a fraction of a second.
Integrated spreadsheets: No need for note taking. Quantities and numbers are dropped in to your spreadsheet, ready for you to add your prices.
Not bad for a couple of dollars a day, is it?
