Compare quotes and award the best value
ConstructionPro.io · 19 August 20261 min read
Lay bids side by side. Best value is the lowest complete bid — not always the smallest number.
A cheap quote that excludes the roof is not a bargain. Collect the bids on one request, then compare them on one screen.
Steps
- Open Quotes on the project and start a request for the trade or package.
- Add each supplier's bid — amount, notes, and the file they sent.
- Open Compare — Totals sit side by side. ConstructionPro highlights the lowest bid that does not advertise exclusions as best value.
- Read the spread — If totals differ by about 8% or more, a note asks you to check exclusions before you award the lowest number.
- Award the bid you actually want. The decision stays on the quote, not in a thread.
If every bid has exclusions, the highlight falls back to the lowest number and says so. You still choose.
