Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, structural fasteners, safety, jobsite jan-san, packaging. One quote across every trade on the project. Ship to active jobsites with. Hold pricing through your bid cycle.
A GC bidding a $5M commercial fit-out has a BOM spanning electrical, HVAC, plumbing, structural fasteners, safety / PPE for the jobsite, jan-san for the site trailer, and packaging for delivery handling. Each trade has its own incumbent supplier. The estimator coordinates 4-8 separate quote cycles to assemble the full project bid. Each cycle is 24-48 hours.
Electrical supplier quotes the electrical scope (24 hrs). Mechanical wholesaler quotes the HVAC + plumbing (48 hrs). Local jan-san quotes the site trailer supply (12 hrs). Packaging distributor quotes shipping crates (24 hrs). By the time the estimator has everything, three days have passed. Bid is Friday.
Estimator's takeoff is a marked-up PDF from McCormick, ConEst, or AccuBid (electrical) plus a separate mechanical takeoff from PlanSwift. Distributor portals require manual SKU entry. The estimator retypes hundreds of lines per cycle.
The electrical distributor substitutes a Hubbell receptacle for a Leviton on the quote. The mechanical wholesaler substitutes a Watts valve for an Apollo. The estimator catches half of these; the other half ship and get noticed at install. Re-pricing follows.
Owner adds a panelboard or upgrades the lighting package the day before bid submission. Re-pricing across 3 trades inside 24 hours is operationally painful. Most estimators just absorb the risk with a contingency markup rather than re-quote.
McCormick / ConEst / AccuBid output (electrical), PlanSwift / On-Screen Takeoff (mechanical), structural fastener schedule, jobsite supply list. Single PDF, multiple PDFs, Excel, scanned. We work from any of it.
Each line is parsed and routed to the appropriate supplier lane: electrical lines through our electrical supplier network, HVAC / plumbing through mechanical wholesalers, fasteners through industrial MRO suppliers, jan-san and packaging through their respective channels.
You get a single PDF quote with sub-totals per trade so each self-perform division lead or subcontractor coordinator can review their scope independently. Substitutions flagged at the line level. Pricing held through bid validity.
Owner change order? Send the delta. We re-price the affected lines and update the quote within minutes. Estimator can respond to the owner same day instead of carrying a contingency markup.

$2M to $20M commercial fit-out or new build. 800-3,500 line BOM spanning 4-6 trades. Bid due Friday at 2 PM. We price the full scope inside 24 hours with held bid validity.
GC with self-perform electrical or mechanical division. Project tooling, consumables, replacement parts on standing PO across multiple active projects. Per-project ship-to with cost-code allocation.
Owner upgrades the lighting package or adds a panelboard the day before bid. We re-price the affected lines in minutes. GC responds same-day to owner instead of carrying contingency markup.
GC running 8-15 active projects simultaneously. Standardized jobsite kit per project size (small, medium, large). Per-site ship-to. Consolidated invoicing per project or rolled to GC HQ.
Final 50-200 line punch list at project close-out. Replacement devices, missing trim, paint touch-up, jan-san deep clean supplies. One PO, ships to site within days, single invoice.
GC needs to verify a sub's quoted material pricing on a self-perform-vs-sub decision. We quote the same scope independently. The GC has an apples-to-apples benchmark for the negotiation.
Yes. Send a PDF takeoff, Excel detailer export, or scanned spec book spanning electrical, HVAC, plumbing, safety, structural fasteners, finish materials. We parse, source per category, return a single priced quote with substitutions flagged. 15 minutes for sub-500 lines, 1-4 hours for 500-2,000 lines.
We treat each self-perform division as its own scope on the BOM. Electrical lines route to our electrical supplier lane, mechanical to plumbing / HVAC, fasteners to industrial MRO. One quote, broken down by trade for division-lead review.
Yes. Any address, with or without an active office. Delivery windows scheduled (AM-only, after-hours). by default. Coordination with site superintendent standard.
Yes. Default 14 days; bid-cycle quotes honored through the validity window you specify (up to 90 days). Volatile commodity (copper, steel, fuel-sensitive) may carry surcharge clauses past 60 days.
Send the revised line list. Quote in minutes. The 24-hour distributor turn is too slow for most COs; our 5-15 minute quote-back lets the GC respond to the owner same day.

Yes. Recycled content, FSC certified, regional sourcing distance, low-VOC (Green Seal, Greenguard, MAS Certified Green) where manufacturer documentation supports it. Project-specific LEED submittals available at line level.
If owner-specified brand is non-competitive, we flag and propose qualified-equivalent alternates with cost / lead-time comparison. Never silent substitution. Spec-protected lines (architectural lighting via factory reps) coordinated with rep ecosystem.
Multi-trade. Multi-thousand-line. Priced lines back across every trade, in one document, in minutes.
