Why TrunkReview

Addressing Real-World Challenges Faced by Project Teams

Challenge

Carefully reviewing 3-5 subcontractor bids per trade package with inconsistent templates takes 4-8 hours of time. Across 40+ trade packages, estimators spend weeks on tedious comparison and manual data entry work under strict deadlines.

Solution

TrunkBid handles the first pass analysis of all received bids against the scope of work requirements for every trade package, freeing up estimators and PMs from manual comparison and data entry to focus on faster, informed award decisions and handle more jobs in the same amount of time.

Challenge

Bid analysis and leveling quality and process vary from project to project with the experience of the estimators and PMs doing the work. Your team is lean but bid deadlines are tight and you’re being asked to increase output to keep up with market demand and win more work.

Solution

TrunkBid gives all of your estimating teammates a level playing field to start from, quickly elevates younger estimators by flagging the most critical scope gaps, and allows you to be confident about the quality of the analysis and leveling work done on a much shorter turnaround. You can assign more trade packages and/or projects to each staff member because the upfront grind has been handled.

Challenge

Not only do scope gaps threaten project and portfolio profitability, but much of the knowledge on how to interpret a bid well lives in the head of senior estimators moving toward retirement. Winning more work to scale your business depends on knowledge transfer and moving faster without sacrificing quality.

Solution

TrunkBid helps your business standardize a process that can reduce the risk of scope gaps and your best estimators retiring and taking all their expertise with them. With TrunkBid, you can analyze and level more bids more quickly with even more rigor and gain additional capacity to bid on more projects without increasing headcount.
