The low bid isn't always the low bid
One trade, two quotes. Here is what leveling does to the number in five seconds.
Sub A — Ridgeline Interiors
$412,000
Quoted base price
- Excludes firestopping — $19,400 to cover
- Excludes temp power — $11,200 to cover
Adjusted total $442,600
Sub B — Cardinal Drywall
$438,000
Quoted base price
- Firestopping included
- Temp power included
Adjusted total $438,000
What the spreadsheet said
Sub A looked $26,000 cheaper, so Sub A gets the job. The firestopping and temp power show up as change orders in month four.
What Evenbid says
Sub B is genuinely $4,600 lower once the gaps are priced in — and nobody argues about scope during buyout.
Bid day shouldn't cost you margin
Three things go wrong on almost every buyout. All three are avoidable.
Twelve PDFs, one spreadsheet
Every sub writes their quote differently. Someone retypes them all into a sheet at 11pm the night before the bid.
The low bid isn't low
The cheapest number usually excludes something. You find out during buyout, or worse, during framing.
Gaps become change orders
Uncaught exclusions turn into owner conversations you didn't budget for, and margin you never get back.
Three steps to a clean number
Drop in the quotes
PDFs, forwarded emails or manual entry. Evenbid reads the numbers and inclusions.
Level side by side
One matrix per trade. Included, excluded or unclear on every scope line.
See the true low
Price the gaps, add them in, and pick the sub who is actually cheapest.
What is bid day costing you?
Move the sliders to match your pipeline. The recovery rate is yours to set — we default to a conservative 0.35% of contract value in missed scope, and value an estimator's time at $95 an hour. Set it to what your own buyout history shows.
Typical range is 0.25%–0.5%. Anything higher assumes a bid package with unusually loose scope.

Start free trialFits the systems you already run
On Pro and Enterprise, Evenbid pushes buyout numbers and change orders into the tools your team already lives in, so nobody retypes anything twice.
Procore
Sync projects and commitments, push the awarded sub and contract value straight to the job, and keep approved change orders in step with the field.
QuickBooks
Send buyout totals and billed change orders into your books, so unbilled work stops slipping through between precon and accounting.

I built Evenbid because bid day shouldn't cost general contractors their margin. Too many precon teams are still retyping subcontractor quotes into spreadsheets late at night, then finding the missing scope during buyout, or worse, in the middle of the job.
Evenbid gives you a clean, apples-to-apples number in minutes, so you can pick the sub who's actually cheapest and walk into every project knowing what's covered.
We're working closely with our first GC partners right now, so when you reach out, you're talking directly to me, not a sales team. Send me your next bid package and I'll help you level it.
