PlanHub Premier Feature Spotlight:  Smart Coverage

Making sure you have bid coverage is vital to pulling together an estimate for a project. But what happens when you’re short of the number you need? How can your estimators easily keep track when you can have multitudes of trades to cover?

 

More bids, the right bids — a smarter way to get coverage

PlanHub Premier created Smart Coverage to make it easier and faster than ever to get the coverage you demand. Smart Coverage goes beyond getting “enough” bids, to ensuring you have enough of the right bids. Right from your project dashboard, you can see an overview of your project’s bid status — which ones have no bids yet, which have 1-2 bids, and which have 3 or more.

Get Smart Coverage & Request a Demo

There’s even more capabilities that are exclusive to PlanHub Premier members when you click on the bid status details. With a click, you can easily send a reminder to all the subs you’ve invited to bid, but who have not yet responded. Or, use a set of convenient filters to search the Directory for additional subs in or out of your personal network. 

 Filter by trade, activity, bidding status, location, certifications, qualifications, and more. You can even use a group message to invite all the contractors in a specific search to respond. With PlanHub Premier, members can get full coverage faster, with the quality subs they need — and help you get your estimates submitted first.

Find more jobs. Win more bids. Grow revenue.

PlanHub Premier is the end-to-end preconstruction platform that makes it faster and easier than ever to estimate and win more deals — so you can build a better business at every touchpoint. To find out all the ways that a PlanHub Premier membership makes pre-construction fast, convenient, easy — and more profitable —from start to finish, schedule a demo today.

      Data and Deep Insights

      We make construction smarter by connecting with the right people, at the right time, for the right project.

      With our technology and data intelligence, we empower construction professionals to easily build the right business relationships, streamline pre construction processes, and make efficient decisions.

      From competitive intelligence in each project allowing you to know how many other contractors are downloading or bidding to insights as to contractors’ performance, we provide the data you need to lead your business to success.

      By providing faster, simpler, and unmatched data insights in each step of the pre construction process, PlanHub helps your business lay a strong foundation for the success of the rest of the construction process.

      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.
