For estimators
Built for the estimator still leveling bids at 9pm
The hard part of bid day was never the arithmetic. It is reading twelve proposals, finding what each one left out, and getting them onto one sheet before the number goes out. Consight does that first pass.
What comes off your plate
- Retyping line items out of a PDF
- Rebuilding a bid tab for every package
- Hunting for the exclusions page
- Converting units between bidders
- Re-sorting columns after a late bid
- Cross-checking totals by hand
- Diffing a revised bid against the old one
- Chasing which version of the file is current
- Rebuilding the tab in the owner's format
The sheet is yours. The typing is not.
Your line items, your trades, your order of operations. Consight fills the sheet from the proposals as they arrive and leaves every cell open for you to change.

How it works
A bid day, start to finish
Set up the package once
Build the scope sheet from your drawings and past jobs. That is the only setup you do.
Let the bids land
Forward proposals as they come in. No format prep, no copy-paste.
Look at what is flagged
Exclusions, missing scope, and lines that do not match your estimate come up first.
Make the calls
Adjust, plug, question, and award. The judgment stays yours.

Nothing gets awarded because software said so
Consight will not pick a low bidder, will not hide an adjustment, and will not lock a cell you want to change. Everything it did on the first pass is visible and editable, including the parts you disagree with.
