Designed to make estimating easy for tradies
Digging roads and laying rails is a taxing job for tradies. There’s the hard work on site, with all the effort and the sweating. Unfortunately, we can’t make a computer program to help you with that. But there’s also the measuring and the scaling in the office. And our road and railway software can definitely help you with that.
You won’t need to waste another second on pencil and paper takeoffs, on manual scaling and on double checking your counts. Instead, you can turn on your PC, load RapidBid, and let the years of hard work our computer experts have put into this software do the work for you.

“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%.”
How long does it take to get an accurate estimate for your bids? We’ve spoken to tradies all over the world and they agree that even a small job with a few plans takes five hours to price up. A larger job (and who’s ever asking you to bid on a small railroad?) takes even longer, keeping you up late into the night with your pencils and your ruler when you should be running your business.
Instead of manually downloading and checking pictures, scaling and colouring by hand, and manually counting materials, RapidBid lets you takeoff a project on your computer screen, and gives you a helping hand every step of the way.
Automatic comparison makes it simple to find the right plans (and keeps your dollars out of the printer’s pockets). Automatic counting totals up all your materials in under a second, and easy measuring and scaling calculates the length of road or railway you need to work on.
Then, after you’ve finished the takeoff, RapidBid generates a spreadsheet filled with accurate numbers, just waiting for your rates and prices.
A job that used to take you five hours completed in one. Four free hours to bid on four more jobs, or get back on site, or to spend enjoying the benefits of all that hard work you do.
Not bad for a bit of computer software. Especially when you look at our calculator and see how much time you save on all the bids you prepare in a month.
RapidBid’s road estimating software isn’t as expensive as you might think. We’ve got three packages available to suit every budget, and every one of them pays for itself as soon as you win a single extra job. When you consider how many more bids you’ll put in throughout your career, it’s easy to see why RapidBid’s a definite win for your business.
