Generate precise numbers you can trust - and have the time to fine-tune your proposal. Reduce human error with automatically inserting the proper fittings according to your systems and specifications, adjusting for elevation changes, and making it easy to fix mistakes that do slip through - without re-doing takeoff.
Automatic Fittings
AutoBid's patented system automatically inserts the proper fitting based on your specifications and systems. Need a high-efficiency takeoff for supply air but a plain spin-in for exhaust? No problem. Connector types and joint lengths are calculated based on user-defined specifications.
Accurate Hanger and Attachment Counts
AutoBid has the most accurate hangers in the marketplace - competing systems just make an inaccurate guess based on total system length. Because AutoBid knows what pieces of duct and fittings are connected, users will get hangers at changes in directions and at user-defined spacing based on duct size. AutoBid also correctly picks up attachments based on structure and vertical members based on elevation.
Automatic Correction Factors
Do you need to account for the fact that items on higher floors or elevations require additional labor? Need to account for stacked trades or compressed work schedules? Easily adjust your labor - across a project or on a specific item - to address additional labor requirements.
Comprehensive Databases
We ship our system with a comprehensive database that is ready to go for many companies' needs. Tweak your labor units, modify your costs, and start bidding.
Bid More AccuratelyWhat Our Customers Are Saying"With AutoBid, our takeoffs are more accurate, and the way the settings can be adjusted to match exactly what we want is just amazing."
Edward Musco, Estimator Nagelbush Mechanical Inc., Fort Lauderdale, FL "AutoBid has made takeoff time faster and more efficient, leaving us more time to spend on the re-cap portion of our bids. Not rushing through a bid helps give us more time on the decision-making for the final bid numbers. We have the time to decide how we will actually "tackle" the project. I like how easy it is to do the takeoffs, and how accurate the reports can be. The system is very user friendly." Debbie Bing, Mechanical Estimator Total Comfort of Wisconsin, Pewaukee, WI "AutoBid allows us to bid more jobs and also to have better uniformity with our pricing."
