Bid / no-bid for subcontractors

Stop pricing jobs you were never going to win.

RFiQ reads the whole bid package — spec book and drawings — checks the GC and developer against your own win history, and hands back a verdict you can argue with.

Chase it. The scope is work you self-perform, and you win with this GC office.

Why
  1. 14 of 11 with this GC’s Southeast office — above your book average.
  2. 291% of the scope is work you self-perform.
  3. 3Developer is new to you. Payment terms unproven — flagged, not fatal.

Estimating capacity is the bottleneck. Not opportunity.

Invitations are infinite
Fifty to three hundred packages a year land in one inbox. Somebody has to decide which ones get an estimator.
Estimators are not
Every hour spent pricing a job you were never going to win is an hour taken from one you could have.
The call is made on feel
Gut, tribal memory and whoever talks loudest on Monday. The data to decide well exists — it’s just scattered.

Chasing a loser burns hours you can count. Passing on a winner is invisible — you never learn what you left on the table.

A tool that reads every division reads none of them well.

Scope hides in a different place for every trade. So RFiQ ships one division at a time, and each one knows where to look.

Package in. Verdict out. Reasoning attached.

  1. 01
    Drop the package in
    Project manual, drawings and addenda — however your GC sent them.
  2. 02
    RFiQ reads all of it
    Your division pulled into line items that click back to the source page.
  3. 03
    Get a verdict and the argument
    Go, Caution or No-go with every factor shown. Override it and the next one learns.

No history yet? Upload past bids as a spreadsheet and RFiQ starts from “you’re 4-of-11 with that GC’s Southeast office” instead of “first time”.

Inbox to bid, at your desk or in your pocket.

A package lands and reads to a verdict. The reasons open, a question about the GC is answered from your own win history, and the bid goes to an estimator.

Sample package. Names and figures are illustrative.

Nothing is a black box. Every number opens.

RFiQ decides whether to bid. It is not a takeoff tool, an invitation aggregator or a contract reviewer — it hands off to the ones you already use.

Your bid history is the asset. We treat it that way.

We don’t train on your data
Your packages and history answer your questions. They never become someone else’s model.
One org, one wall
Your projects, history and scoring are scoped to your organisation. Nothing you upload shapes anyone else’s verdicts.
Documents on your terms
Set how long packages are kept. Delete a project and its extractions go with it.
Every verdict is auditable
Who ran it, what it said, who overrode it and why — a record you can pull.
Access you control
SSO and per-seat roles, so each person sees what their job requires.
No silent changes
Scoring changes are recorded against the verdicts they affect. Old calls stay explainable.

Ask before you bid.

We’re taking on a small number of subcontractors as design partners. Bring real packages and real bid history; we move fast on what you tell us is wrong.
