From selected bid to working budget
Organize bid packages, compare subcontractor pricing, and carry selected bids directly into the working estimate. Bid values stay connected to the budget as the estimate develops.
Bid packages in one place
Keep scope, documents, and subcontractor pricing organized by bid package for easier review and comparison.
Historical benchmarking
Compare current bids against similar scopes from past projects to add historical context before awarding.
Bid Leveling
Integrated with BuildingConnected
Pull your bids from Building Connected directly into Zebel with a push of a button.
AI Bid Review before you carry a number
Zebel AI reviews the quotes in the raw format sent by subs and maps the numbers and scope items to your custom bid form.
The source line stays attached
Every mapped amount points back to the line in the sub’s quote, so you can check the read.
Discrepancies get flagged
Missing scope and totals that don’t add up are flagged. You still review, level, and choose.
Subcontractor network, in one place
Keep subcontractor contacts and trades organized in one shared directory, making it easier to find the right subcontractors when building bid packages.
Organized by trade
Find subcontractors by trade and quickly identify who to include in each bid package.
Built into the bid workflow
Use your subcontractor directory while building bid packages and preparing invitations to bid.
