Bidcon Features
Users can create detailed cost plans using either internal price data or industry-standard libraries like Spon's price books. The system supports building estimates from the ‘bottom-up’, defining individual labor, material, and plant costs for maximum accuracy.
Bidcon features a fully integrated 5D BIM add-on that connects 3D models with cost and time data. This allows for quick and accurate measurements and quantity take-offs directly from the model, saving time and reducing the risk of errors in the estimate.
The software offers multiple ways to perform quantity take-offs. Users can extract quantities from 2D drawings using an interface with Bluebeam, import them directly from BIM models, or have them populated automatically based on project properties for greater flexibility.
Bidcon streamlines the process of managing subcontractor bids. Users can send tender inquiries to multiple suppliers directly from the system and upload their replies for a detailed, side-by-side comparison to ensure the most competitive pricing is selected.
