Tender estimating — price tenders with cost and layered mark-ups

Import the client's bill of quantities, fill in the cost per item and let the mark-ups stack — site overheads, central overheads, risk and profit. The margin shows per line and for the whole tender.

What is tender estimating?

Tender estimating is the engine behind the bid. Every item has a cost next to the price, so the margin shows per line and in total. Mark-ups are layered and calculated on each other the way the trade does it. Options and change orders sit outside the tender sum, internal lines count without being shown to the client, and prices can be requested from suppliers via a link. When it's done the estimate becomes a tender document, the sum lands on the deal in Leads — and if you win, it becomes the basis for the project and the purchasing.

Bill of quantities from Excel

Import the client's list directly — code, description, quantity and unit land in the right place.

Layered mark-ups

Site overheads, central overheads, risk and profit on top of each other. Or set the profit so the margin lands where you want.

Ask the supplier

Send a price request with a link. The supplier answers on their lines and you pick the price in one click — with validity date.

Options, change orders, internal lines

Shown separately and not included in the tender sum. Internal lines count without appearing in the bid.

Tender document as PDF and Excel

The estimate becomes a clean tender document with your texts, locked once the bid is submitted.

Works on its own — even better together

Tender estimating is a module you can run on its own, but it shares data with the rest of the system. Common connections:

Start here. The rest is there when you need it.

Tender estimating works entirely on its own. But the same customer can follow all the way — from the first call to a paid invoice — without anyone retyping anything.

Automations take the next step for you, reports send themselves and the AI assistant Tord shows you how. Works great without AI. Magic with it.

FAQ

Questions about tender estimating

How is it different from the Quote generator?

The quote generator is for small jobs with a price list. Tender estimating is for tenders: cost, layered mark-ups and quantities from the client's list.

Can several people work on one estimate?

Yes. The estimate has an owner and can be reviewed and approved by someone else before it's sent.

What happens when we win?

The won tender becomes a project with the estimate as budget, and materials can be ordered straight from Purchasing.
