Illustrative sample. Every flagged item links back to the supplied document for estimator review.

01 / THE PROBLEM

Small misses can erase the margin on a good project.

Supplier quotes arrive in different layouts, units, and date ranges. Estimators compare them under deadline pressure while freight, taxes, pack sizes, and exclusions hide in the details.

BidCircuit reviews the documents already in your workflow and points your estimator to the lines that deserve attention. It does not replace estimating judgment.

02 / WORKFLOW

A second set of eyes, without rebuilding the estimate.

01
Send the files you already use

Your BOM, supplier quotes, and relevant estimate export. No new template or manual line-by-line entry.
02
We reconcile the cost signals

BidCircuit compares descriptions, units, quantities, dates, exclusions, and quote totals across sources.
03
Your estimator reviews the flags

Each finding includes its source and estimated impact so your team can accept, dismiss, or investigate it.

03 / AUDIT CHECKS

The costly details that deserve a deliberate review.

Outdated prices

Current supplier quotes compared with the pricing used in the estimate.

Missing costs

Freight, equipment, tax, escalation, and materials without a priced source.

Unit mismatches

Each, box, roll, pack, length, and quantity conversions that do not align.

Quote validity

Expiration dates, lead times, alternates, and scope exclusions that need attention.

04 / THE OUTPUT

A review queue, not a black-box answer.

Each finding contains

01The exact line and source document
02The reason it was flagged
03The estimated cost impact
04A clear review status

“The estimator stays responsible for the bid. BidCircuit makes the risky lines harder to miss.”
Product principle

05 / FILE HANDLING

Bid files are sensitive. The pilot treats them that way.

Purpose-limited

Files are used only to produce the requested audit.

Controlled access

Only the people working on your pilot can access the documents.

Deletion on request

You can request removal of your pilot files and output.

These are pilot operating commitments, not a claim of third-party security certification.

06 / FAQ

Straight answers before you send a file.

Does BidCircuit replace our estimating software?

No. The pilot is an audit layer for the BOM, supplier quotes, and estimate exports you already use.

What file formats will you accept?

The intended pilot supports common spreadsheet and PDF exports. We will confirm compatibility before requesting any documents.

Will the audit change our bid automatically?

No. It produces findings for estimator review. Your team remains responsible for every bid decision.

Is the $149 charged when I apply?

No. An application is not a purchase. We will first confirm the fit, scope, and document handling process.
