Electrical estimating software

Electrical estimating software that keeps contractors in control.

PhaseBid helps electrical contractors organize scope notes, draft estimates, review labor and material details, and create professional proposal PDFs from one connected workspace.

Start FreeView Pricing

AI-assisted estimate drafts are starting points. Contractors remain responsible for reviewing pricing, labor, materials, scope, permits, and local code/AHJ requirements before use.

Workflow fit

Built for the estimating work before the customer sees a proposal.

Estimating software should help contractors move faster without hiding the details that need professional review. PhaseBid keeps the bid workflow organized while leaving final decisions with the contractor.

Start with a clearer draft

Use job notes, templates, saved pricebook items, or an AI-assisted draft to create an estimate structure you can inspect before it becomes customer-facing.

  • Editable labor and material lines
  • Assumptions and exclusions kept with the estimate
  • Proposal notes tied to the reviewed estimate

Keep pricing review visible

PhaseBid presents estimate totals and line details in an editable workflow so contractors can verify local pricing, labor, materials, markup, taxes, and job conditions.

  • Reviewable totals and line items
  • Contractor-controlled adjustments
  • Contractor review remains part of the workflow

Move from estimate to proposal

After review, the estimate can become a clean customer-facing proposal PDF with scope, assumptions, exclusions, terms, and totals in one place.

  • Professional proposal preview
  • Customer and job details included
  • Estimate history stays connected to the workspace

Review process

A safer estimate-to-proposal workflow

PhaseBid is designed around contractor review rather than automatic final bids.

  1. 1

    Capture scope

    Add customer, site, project type, notes, schedule needs, and important job details.

  2. 2

    Draft the estimate

    Start from manual entry, templates, pricebook items, or an AI-assisted estimate draft.

  3. 3

    Review details

    Check labor, materials, quantities, pricing, assumptions, exclusions, permits, and AHJ requirements.

  4. 4

    Create the proposal

    Generate a professional proposal PDF only after the estimate has been reviewed.

PhaseBid provides estimating, proposal, scheduling, CRM, and project organization tools. It is not an electrical code authority, engineering service, permitting service, or substitute for contractor judgment. Users should verify all pricing, labor, material quantities, site conditions, scope, permits, and AHJ requirements before submitting bids or purchasing materials.
