Excellent 1:1 training and support
Designed to make estimating easy for tradies
There’s no need to spend five hours on a takeoff for your bids. Just download our insulation estimating software before your next bid on a pipe or mechanical insulating job, and you’ll see why tradies all over Australia now seem to have time to spare.
RapidBid might have been designed by techies, but it’s been built for tradies. We know you’re not interested in spending ages fiddling around on the computer, so we use one click tools to help you analyse and select PDF plans, remove backgrounds, scale areas and count materials so that you can price up your projects as quickly as possible.
If you’re used to doing your takeoffs with a pencil, ruler and some marker pens, you’ll be used to spending five hours or more on a bid. With our estimating software, you can put an accurate estimate together in about sixty minutes. That’ll leave you with more time to do more bids, win more business, and have more fun.
“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 insulation estimating software wasn’t something we threw together on a Friday night after a few beers. Our estimating and takeoff software is based on two things:
Our nearly forty years’ experience of making tools for tradies all over the world (we’ve been making computer software since before home computers were a thing).
Our customers’ experiences of spending far too long working on estimates when they should be installing insulation, or spending time with their families.
We brought all this experience together to make something that makes life for tradies easier and cheaper. Printing costs? Gone. It’s all done on screen. Sifting through ZIP files to find plans? Replaced with a quick preview tool. And that’s before we get to the takeoffs and counting!
Scaling, counting, totaling? All done in a few clicks. Linear measures and scaled areas? No problem. Put down your pencils and sit down at your PC, and you’ll be able to work out how much insulation a project needs in under an hour. RapidBid gives you a quantity spreadsheet, you drop in your prices, and your estimate is ready to send.
We’ve even put RapidBid through its paces with a leading American business professor. He found that after a quick look at our video walkthroughs, the average tradie takes 80% less time to come up with an accurate quote. We used his findings for our savings calculator, so you can see how much time you’re going to save.
Prices for RapidBid begin at a few dollars a day, and when you think about how much time you can save, you’ll agree it’s worth every cent. Especially when you can put out five quotes in the time it used to take you to do one. That’s a 400% increase in the number of jobs you can win straight away.
