For the most part, every dollar that’s gained or lost happens during preconstruction. If general contractors have the information they need to do their best work, everything that can go wrong on-site can be avoided during preconstruction. This is where BC Pro and TradeTapp come in—the all-in-one preconstruction solution for general contractors. Join Mike Powers as he shows you how BC Pro and TradeTapp seamlessly enable general contractors to identify the right subcontractor for the right project through a collaborative bid-management process. You’ll learn how to choose the best bidder, faster, as you access an ever-expanding, crowd-sourced network of subcontractors in real time. Plus, you’ll see how BC Pro streamlines the bid-management process from start to finish, and helps general contractors accurately and efficiently level proposals at scale to identify the best bids. With TradeTapp, you’ll learn how subcontractor qualification and analysis is generated and how the automated recommendations can help risk teams support their strategies.

Subcontractors have been stuck managing bids with manual bid boards and seeking out vendors to bid on projects with static contact databases, none of which are built for preconstruction. Hours are spent manually creating and updating spreadsheets, and keeping track of projects, files, and deadlines. Time is in short supply for subcontractors already, and the inefficiencies of a manual bid board and static contact databases only add to the problem. There is a better way. Bid Board Pro and BC Pro, the all-in-one preconstruction solution built for subcontractors. In this class, we’ll walk you through Bid Board Pro and BC Pro to show you how our online bid board for subcontractors—Bid Board Pro—lets you track bid invites, projects, who’s working on what, and due dates across the entire office. You’ll see how it reduces manual entry, and dynamically analyzes performance to bid smarter and secure desired work, faster. You’ll also see how BC Pro enables streamlined bid management from start to finish.

In large-scale projects, digital tendering is no longer optional, it’s essential. In this session, we’ll show how one major project is moving from a slow, manual tender process to a smart, secure, and fully digital system using Autodesk’s BuildingConnected Pro and ACC Build. You’ll learn why these tools were chosen and how features like sealed bids, custom bid forms, and performance analytics help simplify work, reduce risks, and boost transparency. We’ll also walk through the rollout plan, including how we manage RFIs, get teams on board, and stay aligned with compliance and data standards. You’ll see how BC Pro and ACC Build work together to improve teamwork and keep multi-phase tendering on track. Whether you're just getting started or ready to scale up, you’ll leave with real-world tips and strategies to modernize your tendering process.

Over the past several years, ENR Top 40 general contractors like McCarthy, Structure Tone and Mortenson have continually moved up in both rank and revenue... so what do they all have in common? During this session, you’ll learn the #1 secret to their success: an optimized preconstruction process. Join Mike Pettinella (Head of General Contractor Sales at BuildingConnected) — along with leaders from US top General Contractors — for a candid discussion about how general contractors can get ahead in today’s increasingly competitive industry through a collaborative, digitized, and streamlined preconstruction process. The panelists will share how each of their organizations manages preconstruction, how they've improved the efficiency of their teams’ bid management workflows with BC Pro, and how better preconstruction planning directly affects their project outcomes.

This class aims to help professionals in the construction industry optimize their preconstruction workflows using BuildingConnected and Autodesk Construction Cloud.
