Questions? We have answers.

What is a bid management platform?

A bid management platform automates and streamlines the laborious process of creating and submitting construction project proposals. You can reduce the amount of time spent on the bidding process by using solutions that let you disseminate key project files and information and manage and track bidding details all in one place.

How can software help improve bid management in construction?

With the use of cloud-based bid management software, general contractors and subcontractors can secure new business and reduce project risk in preconstruction. It can also keep teams centrally collaborating to increase productivity and transparency.

What is the bid management process?

At Autodesk, the bid management process involves leveraging the largest real-time construction network to find and invite the right trade partners for every project. From there, you can find the most accurate estimate with bid leveling functionality and an integrated subcontractor qualification process to evaluate risk.

How is construction bidding software used?

Construction bidding software helps you perform tasks like creating, tracking, and managing bids from one place. It is used to accurately manage the bidding process and find qualified subcontractors on the most up-to-date network of construction professionals.

How does BuildingConnected Pro help GCs manage subcontractor bids better?

BuildingConnected Pro helps general contractors centralize and manage subcontractor bidding in one place. GCs can send bid invitations, track responses across trades, see who has viewed documents, and follow up more effectively. All without relying on email chains, phone calls or spreadsheets. This makes it easier to stay organized, reduce manual coordination, and keep bid coverage on track.

How does BuildingConnected Pro support better bid coverage across trades?

BuildingConnected Pro gives GCs greater visibility into bid activity across all trades. You can see which subcontractors have been invited, who’s responding, and where gaps still exist, so you can take action early instead of discovering coverage issues at bid time. This visibility helps reduce last‑minute scrambling and improves confidence that scopes are fully covered.

Does BuildingConnected Pro connect to other Autodesk products?

Yes, BuildingConnected Pro does integrate with Forma Data Management to share and manage project documents used during bidding and carry those same documents forward into construction workflows. It also connects with Cost Management in Forma Build. Additionally, it integrates with TradeTapp to help GCs manage subcontractor qualification and risk assessment alongside the bidding process.
