BuzzBID

BuzzBID eliminates the need for multiple disconnected applications by combining plan management, digital takeoff, assembly-based estimating, pricing, and work tracking into one integrated solution. With a single database and user interface, your entire estimating workflow stays connected, reducing duplicate work, data transfers, training time, and costly errors.

Automatically identify and count symbols, fixtures, and repetitive plan details using BuzzBID's proprietary ClickONCE™ Computer Vision technology. Reduce manual counting while maintaining complete estimator control through easy visual verification before quantities become part of the estimate.

BuzzBID enables advanced plan loading with automatic renaming and detail linking at high processing speeds. The platform is designed to handle large plan sets efficiently, helping estimators organize drawings quickly. This structured approach reduces preparation time and supports smoother navigation throughout the takeoff process.

Navigate large commercial drawing sets with confidence. BuzzBID is engineered to efficiently process extensive plan files, thousands of takeoff objects, and complex assembly-based estimates while maintaining fast navigation and responsive performance. Whether you're a single estimator or a national contractor with hundreds of users, BuzzBID scales from local databases to enterprise SQL Server deployments without changing platforms.

Built as a native Windows desktop application, BuzzBID fully leverages your computer's multi-core CPU to deliver exceptional speed and responsiveness. Unlike browser-based estimating software, it runs locally without relying on cloud processing or a dedicated graphics card (GPU). Easily handle large drawing sets, complex estimates, and demanding commercial projects on a standard Windows business workstation.

BuzzBID is engineered to deliver enterprise-class performance on standard Windows business computers. No expensive graphics accelerator (GPU) is required. Instead, BuzzBID leverages your system's multi-core CPU and available memory to efficiently process large drawing sets and complex estimates. A typical workstation equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7 or i9 processor and 64 GB of RAM is more than capable of handling demanding commercial estimating workloads.

Take full advantage of multiple monitors by opening up to six independent takeoff windows simultaneously. Compare plans, elevations, details, revisions, and specifications side-by-side to reduce page switching and increase estimating productivity.

Deploy BuzzBID wherever your business works best. Run on physical Windows PCs, virtual desktops, Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Windows App, or customer-hosted cloud environments. The same subscription supports both single-user and Microsoft SQL Server multi-user deployments, allowing your organization to scale without changing software or licensing.

Continue working even when internet service is unavailable. Because BuzzBID is a native desktop application, estimators can access projects, perform takeoffs, and build estimates offline. An internet connection is only required for online services such as licensing, software updates, Project Send, and Material Quote requests.

The platform includes a powerful audit filter change log to track modifications made during estimating. This functionality supports transparency by recording adjustments over time. BuzzBID helps estimators review changes, maintain consistency, and better understand how estimates evolve throughout the project lifecycle.
