Stop drowning in subcontractor bids.
BidChemist turns chaotic bid emails into a side-by-side analysis you can trust — automatically. Forward your subs' bids to one address and ship a clean leveling report in minutes.
Bid season is a mess of inboxes, PDFs, and gut calls.
Bids arrive as PDFs
Every sub formats their proposal differently. Comparing them means hours of copy-paste into a spreadsheet that's stale by morning.
No two subs price alike
One bundles excavation into sitework. Another itemizes it. By the time you spot the mismatch, the lowest bid isn't actually the lowest.
Scope gaps go unnoticed
A sub omits dewatering. You award the job. Three weeks later you're eating the change order. The RFP said it. Everyone missed it.
From inbox chaos to a clean leveling report — without the spreadsheet.
Automatic bid extraction
Forward sub bids to your project address. BidChemist reads the PDF — pricing, scope, exclusions, payment terms — and files it on the right project, on the right trade tab. No re-typing.
Side-by-side leveling
Every line item from every sub, normalized into the same canonical format. See who included what, who excluded what, and exactly where the price gap actually lives.
RFP scope gap detection
Upload the RFP once. BidChemist flags every scope item your subs didn't price — before you award the contract, not after.
Built for GCs who bid more than they sleep.
From single-trade specialists to multi-trade GCs juggling fifty subs per bid package — if your job involves comparing bids that don't agree on what they're pricing, BidChemist is for you.
