Types of Contractors
The typical HeavyBid customer is an infrastructure contractor that builds highways, bridges, dams, tunnels, airports, railroads, utilities, pipelines, or wastewater treatment plants or does earthwork such as land clearing, excavation, and mining. These contractors use crews and heavy equipment and typically do unit price work, such as DOT work or non-typical large facilities like stadiums and power plants. Those wanting to standardize their vertical and horizontal construction divisions, or job owners and engineering firms needing to make capital budget estimates may also use HeavyBid.
User Reviews of HeavyBid

It definitely increased our revenue, increased our market share, and ultimately increased our profitability.
HeavyBid allows us to adapt to what the market is demanding.
It’s a good fit for heavy civil construction and it’s a good way to get all your ideas, all your thoughts, all your costs into one place. It helps calculate production quantities and lets you review your costs and generate all the reports you need. You can export to the DOTs or whatever you want to do. It’s really a good fit and to tell you the truth I’m not sure how we’d estimate if we didn’t have HeavyBid.
