Runs alongside
KNTRCTR is a subcontractor bid and performance platform for heavy civil and general contractors. Procore runs your job to the finish line. KNTRCTR gets the right crews lined up before it starts, and it can run right alongside the project management platform you already use.
Procore is a project management platform, and a deep one. Once a job is awarded, Procore is where it lives, drawings, RFIs, submittals, change orders, financials, the field-to-office connection, all of it. It’s how a lot of contractors keep a live job from going sideways. That’s a serious platform doing serious work, and if you’re running Procore for project management, keep running it.
This isn’t a page about switching off Procore.
Procore does have a bid management module. You can build bid packages, invite bidders, and convert the winner into a subcontract that flows into the rest of the platform. For a firm all-in on Procore, that’s a tidy path from award into execution.
But here’s the thing a lot of Procore shops know: plenty of teams run Procore for the project management side and never turn on the bidding module, or pay for it and barely touch it. The bid piece is one module in a very big suite, and pre-construction isn’t where Procore’s weight sits. So the project itself, comparing subs, reading what’s in the bids, still ends up back in spreadsheets and email for a lot of crews.
A bidder can reply to the invitation with a file attached, and Procore will show you that file. The side-by-side comparison runs off what was entered on the form. Procore also has AI that can look through proposals for missing scope. That can help you read what came in. It still leaves the emailed amounts off your scope lines until someone on your crew keys them in.
That’s the gap KNTRCTR can fill, and it sits before Procore takes over. Run your project in KNTRCTR and have your subs bid to you on the form. When one of them emails the quote instead, drop the file on the package and paste the email beside it. Rex AI reads the PDF and the message and fills your scope lines, the items you set so every bidder answers the same things. You confirm the total before it’s saved. Then Rex AI reads the field, you level the bids, and you make the call. Hand the awarded job into Procore to run to the finish line. You keep Procore for what it’s best at. You add the pre-construction layer its bid module was never really built to carry.
Procore didn’t become the standard in project management by accident. If it’s how you run your jobs, this doesn’t touch that. KNTRCTR handles the decision that comes before the job starts.
Anyone can read the number. What’s hard is reading all six bids at once and catching what the low guy quietly left out, the exclusion that turns into a change order. Rex AI scans the whole field in under ninety seconds, then reads every attachment and lines them up against each other, so the exclusion one sub buried and another didn’t jumps out. It surfaces what’s in each bid. You still make the call.
When the work’s done, the reviews kick in. Quality, timeliness, safety, cleanliness, budget, whether you’d run with them again. Locked once it’s in. Keep it private to you, share it with the sub, or put it out to your peers in the network. That review feeds the next bid, so next time this sub’s number comes across your desk, you know how the last job actually went. Not from your PM’s memory. From the record.
A structured bid form against your scope and expectations, unit pricing, exclusions with a reason, and more. No decoding six different formats to figure out who left what out.
Some subs won’t fill out a form. They email a PDF, and sometimes the price or the exclusions are written in the message. Drop that file on the package and paste the email next to it. Rex AI reads both and fills your scope lines, the same ones the other bidders fill in. You check the total before it’s saved. Then that bid sits with the rest of them.
Side by side, price against leveled price against past performance, all on one screen. Level the bids without losing the original number. See who’s really low and who just forgot half the scope.
Every job in its lifecycle, from open to awarded to complete. A teammate only sees a job if they’re on it. Need-to-know, no clutter, no digging.
Group related jobs under a project and get the aggregate, budgets, low bids, award amounts, status across every package. The view you’ve been keeping in a spreadsheet, built in.
One click and every bidder knows, winner and the rest. Then Job Kickoff opens: a shared checklist, contacts, notes, and a place to line up the insurance and contracts before anyone mobilizes. Compliance handled at award, before the job moves into your PM platform.
Procore runs the job once it’s won. KNTRCTR is how you decide who wins it, and remembers how they did.
Keep Procore for the job. Add KNTRCTR for the decision that comes first, who gets on your site, and the record of how they performed once they did.
There's a lot of software in construction, and most of it is good at something. The question isn't which tool is best. It's which tool does the job you're trying to do.
KNTRCTR runs the subcontractor decision end to end. Who bids, what is really in those bids, who gets the award, and how they performed once they were on site.
Some tools live next to that lane. Some overlap with a piece of it. Bid platforms stop at award, estimating tools stop at your number, and project management platforms start after the work is already won.
What none of them do: read the bids the way Rex AI does, catching what is buried in the attachments before you make the call, take an emailed quote and put it on your scope lines, and carry a locked record of how each sub actually performed back into your next decision.
A lot of subs still email a PDF, sometimes with the price or the exclusions written in the message. These tools can store that file, or line up what someone typed into a form. They do not read the email and the PDF and fill your scope lines. In KNTRCTR you drop the file on the package and paste the email beside it. Rex AI fills those lines. You confirm the total before it is saved. Then that bid sits with the ones that came in on the form.
Yes. Procore runs the job to the finish line. KNTRCTR lines up the right crews before it starts.
Procore does have a bid management module, and for a firm all-in on Procore that is a tidy path from award into execution. But plenty of teams run Procore for project management and never turn the bidding module on, or pay for it and barely touch it.
Run your project in KNTRCTR, let Rex AI read the field, level the bids, make the call. Then hand the awarded work into Procore to run to the finish line. You keep Procore for what it is best at.
When a sub emails the quote instead of using a form, drop the file on the package and paste the email beside it. Rex AI fills your scope lines, and you confirm the total before it is saved. Procore can store a file that came back on the invite, and it has AI that can look through proposals for gaps. That still leaves someone on your crew to key the emailed amounts onto the form.
No. KNTRCTR focuses on bid organization and subcontractor performance tracking—not estimating takeoffs, project scheduling, or cost control.
It works alongside your existing estimating tools and project management systems.
