Your bid process is ready for an upgrade.It needs a system that stands up to the challenge.

Rex Build drafts the bid packages from the documents you already have. Attach drawings, a budget, and notes, and Rex proposes a package for each trade or crew.

Those packages sit together on the project, with the map open, so you can see who is pricing what before anyone is invited. Nothing goes out until you review the draft and send the invitations yourself.

Yes. Subcontractors often hold the number until the bid closes so it cannot be shopped. The PDF lands in the inbox as the package is closing, and retyping every line is how a bid gets left off the comparison.

Drop the quote on the package and paste the email beside it. Rex reads the price onto the same scope lines in seconds. You confirm the total before it is saved. That bid then sits on the form with the quotes that came in through the invitation, ready to compare.

Qualifications and requirements sit on the bid request, so the companies you invite can see what is required before they price.

Attachments sit on the same invitation. Drawings and the rest of the package are on the page, so partners are not hunting a separate email for the details they need to bid.

Set the scope on the request

You can invite existing subcontractors directly, invite from saved lists, or use mass CSV upload to bring in your current contacts first. You can also email a partner who is not on KNTRCTR yet.

When you submit the invitation, you can send it to a saved list in one click. Everyone on that list gets the request. Later updates and messages go to those same companies.

Bid packages stay private unless you choose public inside KNTRCTR. Public still means signed-in KNTRCTR users, not the open web.

On the bid package, that invite block is labeled Crew Control. It is who you invite to bid, not the people on your own team.

Once your network is organized, posting a bid package and inviting your known subcontractors takes only a few clicks.

Your network and lists

Yes. KNTRCTR includes bid leveling so you can normalize subcontractor bids line by line before award.

Bid leveling keeps the original bidder response visible while you enter separate leveled values for comparison.

You can level quote expectations (including unit rate and quantity on unit-priced lines), level provisional / additional amounts (amount, multiplier, and include/exclude), add bid adjustments as increases or decreases, and add leveled notes under Pricing, Scope, and Timeline.

The leveled amount is calculated from the original bid amount, plus or minus expectation-leveling differences, plus or minus provisional leveling differences, plus or minus bid adjustments.

Bid leveling is poster-side only and locks once the bid package is awarded.

Compare and level bids

Yes. AI Checks are standing questions your company sets once, and Rex answers them on every bid package. Teams use them for the things they always want confirmed, such as how each bid compares to the internal budget, or whether a quote includes taxes.

You write the check in plain language and Rex works out where the answer lives. If it needs a document, Rex says it is waiting on a deep dive rather than guessing.

Answers keep pace with the review. Every check is answered again after each deep dive, so if a document changes the answer, Rex updates it and marks it as changed rather than leaving a stale read on the page. Evidence from your first deep dive still counts when Rex re-answers after your fifth.

Rex reports the answers in their own section, one answer per check, so you can see exactly what each one turned up rather than hunting for it in a wall of text. Company administrators control the list, since these shape the analysis the whole team reads.

Yes. You can add your own company teammates to a bid package at any point: while bids are open, right after award, or when you are deep into kickoff. Bring the right people in when you need them.

Multiple teammates can sit on the same bid package. Each person you add sees that bid package on their own dashboard. Everyone uses their own login. No shared passwords.

That is people from your own company. Who you invite to bid is a different block: invite lists, email invites, and whether the bid package stays private. In the dash that invite block is labeled Crew Control, so the names are easy to mix. It is not your own crew.

Estimating and procurement can hand off cleanly, or you can line up teammates before award and expand the team after, so Kickoff starts with everyone who needs to be in the room.

Yes. KNTRCTR lets you group related bid packages into a project so a site, phase, or contract does not turn into a pile of disconnected requests.

For example, you might post separate bid packages for excavation, trucking, utilities, and concrete, then group them under the same project on your dashboard. Rex Build can draft those packages from the drawings, budget, and notes before you invite anyone. That gives your team a cleaner view of who priced what, who was awarded, and who was on site.

It also keeps the history documented for the future. If you ever need to look back at a site, you can return to that project and see the bid packages tied to the work instead of opening every package one by one.
