Getting Started

PlanHub currently services all of the United States.

PlanHub is explicitly designed for small and medium-sized construction professionals to easily learn to use our software. At PlanHub, we understand that general contractors and subcontractors need an easy-to-use bid management software so they can post and bid on construction projects as quickly as possible across the US.

Subcontractors

PlanHub can help subcontractors grow their business exponentially by exposing them to new construction bid opportunities. PlanHub even allows subcontractors to receive all their bid opportunities in one easy-to-use dashboard, and their bids can be submitted online.

The majority of construction projects posted on PlanHub are new commercial construction or tenant fit-outs and renovations. There are also many public and government projects available including schools, fire stations, parks, police stations, and libraries. A smaller minority of construction projects will include residential homes and multi-family complexes. At PlanHub the list of projects is growing every day, so act fast!

Bid Leveler & Proposal builder

Comparing bids to one another has never been easier. Users can now see bids side by side, compare bid amounts, and review subcontractors’ certifications and qualifications all in one place.

Bid Leveler’s apples-to-apples approach allows you to easily drill down and see detailed, easy-to-scan cost breakdowns. Indicate bid preference, hide bids that don’t meet your needs, and request needed information from subs.

Full Bid Management

From the initial decision to pursue a project to the final bid submission and follow up, bid management plays a central role in pre construction.

Effectively managed bids during the preconstruction phase set the stage for a successful project execution and satisfied clients.

Streamline bid management from project posting to estimating, bidding, and awarding in one place with easy project posting, project-contractor automatic matching based on trades, location, and qualification with PlanHub.

Use bid planner, bid builder, bid leveler, and award tools to always know what’s going on with each project and bid.

Estimation and TakeOff

Let’s face it—time is money. And the more time it takes to perform takeoffs and submit bids, the more you risk losing out on valuable revenue opportunities. Manual methods and locally installed desktop software slow your takeoff process, and many digital solutions currently on the market can be overly complex and not user-friendly. 

Build faster takeoffs, get more bids out the door, and win more projects. Forget pen and paper, outdated desktop software, and overly complicated digital takeoff solutions. PlanHub’s easy-to-use Takeoff tool helps you and your team build accurate takeoffs faster, minimize errors and material waste, and win more projects that boost your business growth. Performing your takeoffs with PlanHub allows you to:

  • Streamline and integrate your process: Perform your takeoffs in the same platform you use to manage your network and bids.
  • Avoid costly estimating errors: Get better accuracy with digital tools instead of traditional, mistake-prone pen and paper.
  • Collaborate easily: Share and work with your team, no matter where you—or they—are located.
  • Submit more bids and win more projects: Get quality bids in front of general contractors faster and get ahead of your competition.

Document Management

Organize, store, and manage various documents, blueprints, drawings and other information related to projects before the actual construction phase begins.

This phase is crucial for setting the foundation of a successful construction project, and effective document management plays a significant role in ensuring that all necessary information is accessible, accurate, and up-to-date to all interested parties.

Access, review, work on, and share large complex documents in one platform with amazing speed. From project definition, drawing management, takeoff, estimation, bid management, and contracts, everything happens in PlanHub.

1M+ pre-qualified network

PlanHub is the leading platform that connects companies, construction professionals, and projects in the pre-construction industry, focusing on building and developing meaningful relationships to enhance efficiency and productivity.

We have integrated general contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers’ workflows in one platform to simplify the complex back and forth usually present in preconstruction. By allowing all interactions to be done through PlanHub, tracking projects and relationships is much easier, saving contractors and material suppliers time and money. Interactions in the platform are tagged and measured to provide insights to users.

General contractors create bid packages that are shared in PlanHub as projects. They can include templatized lists of all CSI cost items as part of the new Baseline feature. Baseline allows for faster and more accurate bid requests, facilitates homogenization of subcontractors’ bids, and simplifies the comparison of incoming bids.

Subcontractors are automatically matched with relevant projects based on their profile, preferences, and pre-qualification information saving hours of research to both sides. They can review project details, documentation, and blueprints.
