Welcome to The Blue Book’s Free Project Communication System!

 


BB-Bid is an Internet based application, designed to improve productivity during all phases of preconstruction. From Design, Pre-qualifying, Bidding all the way through Award Notification, BB-Bid provides efficient and effective communication tools directly integrated with an online Design Room and Plan Room.

Here’s how BB-Bid helps facilitate workflow throughout the industry:

For Architects:
During the design stage, architects need to reach out to General Contractors, share their design (BIM and CAD files) and identify the right GC for the project. With BB-Bid and the SyncWare Design Room:

  •  A project can quickly be created
  • BIM and CAD files are easily uploaded to a private
    design room
  • Invitations to bid and review are sent to qualified GCs

Simple, easy and fast, BB-Bid provides the platform for sharing and collaborating in the design stage.

For General Contractors:
GCs are typically bidding on multiple projects. BB-Bid provides a powerful solution to manage multiple projects with online plan rooms, all fully equipped with our free markup and takeoff tool – Vu360. General Contractors can quickly:

  • Upload their private vendors
  • Find new players in The Blue Book database
  • Copy their plans and specs into the private plan room
  • Send invitations to players they need to get the job done

Fast, efficient and best of all – it's FREE. BB-Bid provides one solution for vendor, document and communication management.

For Subcontractors/Suppliers:
BB-Bid provides a private and secure “Inbox” of all project communication sent through The Blue Book Network. Subs and suppliers can quickly search their project leads using Project Source to find the project that requires their specific products or services. Communication back to the GC is quick and easy. Plus, each online plan room has a built-in FREE markup and takeoff tool so users can be digitally connected to the project. With BB-Bid, subs and suppliers can:

  • Find project leads
  • View project plans
  • Markup and takeoff project documents

Quickly becoming the industry’s standard project communication tool, BB-Bid provides a one-stop solution for finding and communicating project information.
