TallyBid is a web-based estimating platform that organizes your bids by spec codes, calculates labor costs with crew composition, checks for scope gaps, and exports professional bid documents — all without spreadsheet formulas or desktop installs.
No credit card required. Full Professional features included.
Most contractors still estimate in spreadsheets or outdated desktop software. The result: manual formula errors, missed scope items, inconsistent bid documents, and hours spent reformatting reports. Every mistake costs real money on the job.
Purpose-built for construction — not adapted from generic project management tools.
Upload construction drawings and measure directly on plans. 15 precision tools — linear, area, perimeter, count, polyline, and more — with snap-to-point accuracy and per-page scale calibration.
Select any room on your plans. AI reads room labels, identifies the drawing type (floor plan, RCP, electrical), and suggests every scope to measure — from floor finishes to toilet accessories.
Every line item maps to a industry-standard spec code. Over 1,000 pre-loaded specs with national average unit costs for materials, labor, and equipment.
Build composite crew rates by combining trades at different wages and productivity factors. Calculate true burdened labor costs per unit.
The built-in Scope Checker flags missing divisions and spec codes based on your project type. AI reads project notes across all pages to catch abbreviations and finish schedules.
Export polished bid proposal letters, cost breakdowns by division, unit price schedules, scope of work documents, and detailed line-item reports as PDF or spreadsheet.
Invite estimators, project managers, and field staff to edit estimates simultaneously. Role-based access controls keep sensitive pricing visible only to the right people.
Import existing takeoffs from spreadsheets, CSV, or Bluebeam markup exports. Automatic column mapping and trade-to-spec-code assignment handles the translation.
TallyBid's built-in AI assistant reviews your bid like a senior estimator — flagging pricing issues, missing scope, and opportunities to tighten your proposal before you submit.
One click analyzes your entire bid for pricing outliers, missing scope, incomplete line items, and markup issues.
Compare your costs against industry benchmarks with location-adjusted pricing. Know if you're too high or too low.
AI identifies missing divisions, specs, and scope items based on your project type — so nothing falls through the cracks.
