Subcontractor Outreach for Bids
Get subcontractor pricing in before your bid deadline, not after.
A general contractor needs sub numbers to finalize a bid, but chasing five trades for pricing under deadline pressure competes with everything else already on an estimator's plate that week.
We identify and contact subcontractors by trade for the scope that needs pricing, distribute the relevant drawings and specs, and track responses so you're working with real numbers before the deadline instead of placeholder allowances — and flag early if any trade's bid coverage is thin.
What we do
- Confirm the trades and scopes that need subcontractor pricing
- Identify and contact qualified subcontractors for each trade
- Distribute relevant drawings, specs, and scope documents
- Track which subs have responded and follow up on non-responders
- Log all pricing received with scope notes and exclusions
- Flag any trade where sub coverage is thin before the deadline
What you receive
- A subcontractor pricing log by trade
- Scope and exclusion notes per quote received
- An early flag on any trade with insufficient bid coverage
Typical turnaround
Subcontractor outreach timelines are set to your bid deadline — we confirm a working backward schedule before starting.
