HeavyBid

HeavyBid • Built for Big Teams

HeavyBid Is Built for a Different Contractor
HeavyBid is powerful software, but it is designed for large heavy-civil contractors with dedicated estimating teams, IT departments, and budgets to match. For a small or mid-size excavation or sitework operation, it is too much complexity and too much cost.
- Enterprise cost — often thousands per year per seat
- Requires formal training and IT setup
- Windows desktop app — no iPad or phone access
