Proquotely
As a team that knows how owners and GCs read proposals, we built Proquotely around what makes a bid easy to compare. The best contractor does not always win. The one whose proposal the buyer can actually follow usually does.
The pattern is the same every time. Two contractors, comparable numbers, comparable references. One sends a spreadsheet printed sideways with a total at the bottom. The other sends a document that says what is included, what is not, and when it will be done. The second one wins, and the buyer is not being unfair, just careful. A vague proposal is a promise nobody can hold you to, which means it is also a promise nobody can trust.
The frustrating part is that the sideways-spreadsheet contractors are often better builders. They have the crews and the experience. What they do not have is four unbilled hours on a Sunday to make a document look like it came from a company twice their size.
So we built the thing we wish they had. Proquotely takes the numbers you already worked out and produces the document owners and GCs can compare in a minute — with the exclusions written down, the schedule attached, and a signature line that gets dated when the owner accepts it.
We are not trying to be your project management system, your accounting package, or your CRM. You already own too much software. This does one part of the job, and it does it in the time you have between the walkthrough and the deadline.
We do not do takeoffs — bring your quantities from wherever you count them today and paste or import them. Optional founder bid-set audits can read drawings and specs for what's missing, what conflicts, and what to exclude — that service is separate from the SaaS plans.
There is no general ledger and no payroll. Everything exports as CSV so your bookkeeper is not locked out.
Above roughly ten estimators you want something with procurement and multi-division workflow. We will tell you so rather than sell you a seat.
Your cost library is not a benchmark we sell back to your market. Export it in full, any day, and delete the account without asking us.
Two people work here and all two read support requests. If you write in about a bid due Friday, you are not getting a generic response email — you are getting one of us before Friday.
Published, per seat, no call required. Founding customers keep their rate for as long as they stay, and we will not raise it on you while you do.
Ten years in construction management, from construction engineer to lead engineer overseeing a team of seven, building large-scale manufacturing and industrial facilities. Builds the product side of Proquotely.
Lead procurement manager who evaluates and awards construction bids as part of her day job, and has for six years. Brings that buyer's-eye view to every proposal default.
Start free and send a margin-protected proposal yourself. Prefer a human look first? Optionally send a bid you already lost — we will tell you what an owner's rep would have marked it down for. That optional audit is not required to use the product.
