What it is
Vertigraph Products is a suite of takeoff, estimating, and bid management software for commercial contractors. BidScreen XL measures areas, lengths, and counts from PDF, DWG, DXF, and TIF drawings inside Excel, then writes quantities back as formulas. SiteWorx/OS builds 3D existing and proposed site surfaces and calculates cut, fill, sub-grade, trench, and related earthwork quantities. BidScreen Cloud provides browser-based quantity takeoff, team collaboration, auto trace, company classes, and Excel exports. Pursuit organizes bids, correspondence, bid dates, quotes, follow-ups, and win/loss tracking; its Nanodoc answers project questions from plans, specifications, emails, and notes with citations to the source document and page. Drawing Compare overlays revisions, highlights additions and removals, and saves marked-up files for BidScreen XL or SiteWorx/OS. BidScreen XL and SiteWorx/OS are Windows products; BidScreen XL requires Excel 2016 or later, and SiteWorx/OS supports Windows 10 and 11. BidScreen Cloud Starter is free. BidScreen XL annual rental costs $400 a year; other options include cloud subscriptions and desktop licenses.
