BidDock
What it is
BidDock is a web platform for general contractors managing bid packages, subcontractor replies, bid comparisons, and scope awards. Teams can invite subcontractors and follow email opens, clicks, and responses in real time. A secure, shareable plan room provides drawings through invitations, and recipients can confirm intent to bid or decline from an email link without creating an account. Bid leveling puts offers side by side in a scope matrix to help identify exclusions, by-others items, and scope gaps. The buyout log tracks awarded scopes, subcontract amounts, and savings across projects. Subcontractor directories can be imported from Excel or CSV files. AI tools cover bid extraction, plan analysis, scope summaries, pre-construction RFI generation, and plan-room search. BidDock states that it uses enterprise-grade encryption, row-level security, and SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. A free plan and free trial are listed; Starter costs $99 a month and Professional costs $249 a month. Enterprise pricing is available but not listed. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, with data accessible for 30 days after cancellation.
