BID WIZARD
Streamline Bid Creation for Complex Capital Projects
Take the manual grind out of estimate creation with the bid wizard feature of InEight Estimate. Generate construction bids in hours instead of days by reusing templates, predefined workflows, and proven estimate data. Whether creating a new estimate or updating an existing one, bid wizard streamlines setup so you can move faster without compromising quality.
PRECISE INPUT CONTROL
SELECT EXACTLY WHAT DATA IS IMPORTED AT ESTIMATE SETUP
Deliver standardized estimates that still adapt to project-specific needs. The bid wizard feature of InEight provides control over what data you import into an estimate, ensuring only components relevant to your project are reused. Cost item structures, assemblies, resources, and other estimate elements can be pulled from existing jobs or templates in just a few clicks.
REUSABLE ESTIMATE COMPONENTS
ASSEMBLE ESTIMATES USING PROVEN PROJECT SETUPS
Rebuilding construction estimates from scratch is unnecessary when proven setups already exist. The InEight bid wizard enables easy reuse of established estimate components from past projects, including labor, equipment, cost item structures, and assemblies. Entire sections of an estimate can be inserted or replaced while preserving crews, account codes, and cost details.
ONGOING SUPPORT FOR ACTIVE ESTIMATES
ADD SCOPE AND COST ITEMS AS PROJECT REQUIREMENTS CHANGE
Project requirements can change in an instant. Bid wizard supports ongoing updates by allowing new scopes or cost items to be added to active projects. As requirements evolve, additional data can be integrated without disrupting existing estimate structure—keeping estimates aligned with the latest scope and opportunities.
We can put together estimates at least 50% faster with InEight. It allows us to move faster and spend less time doing estimates—while still having confidence that they're right.
