Before & after
Hours back on every bid package.
Bridgeline replaces the spreadsheet shuffle with a single source of truth. Estimating moves faster, project teams inherit cleaner data, and nothing slips between award and buyout.
Without Bridgeline
- Proposals manually typed into spreadsheets
- Leveling quality varies by estimator
- Scope gaps surface after the contract is signed
- Project managers inherit scattered files at handover
- Inconsistent markups and assumptions across packages

- Standardized, side-by-side leveling for every package
- Scope gaps and risks flagged before award. a true second set of eyes
- Proposals and leveling sheets live in one place. a clean handoff to project management
- Consistent assumptions, markups, and templates across every bid
The product
Built for the way preconstruction actually works.
Drop in proposals. Any format.
PDFs, scans, emails, spreadsheets. Bridgeline extracts structured data automatically, organized by trade and CSI code. No more copy-paste.
Every line item, every sub, side by side.
Bridgeline normalizes base bids and alternates across every proposal so you can compare apples to apples. Accepted alternates with adjusted quantities are highlighted in green; plug values awaiting estimator confirmation show in blue. so nothing gets awarded on a number nobody owns.
Scope gaps and follow-ups, surfaced automatically.
Bridgeline reads every proposal side by side and calls out the differences. who's including BIM, who's excluding water softeners, who's silent on sales tax. Each gap comes with a suggested follow-up question, so estimators walk into scoping calls knowing exactly what to confirm.
See exactly what's in (and what isn't).
Bridgeline maps every inclusion, exclusion, and scope note across subs in a clean comparison matrix. Spot the gaps before they become change orders.
From carried subs to a buttoned-up estimate.
Carry your selected subs trade by trade, see live spread and $/GSF roll-ups, then layer in G&A and markups to build the final number. The leveling work flows straight into your estimate. no rebuilding the budget in another tool.
Trusted by leaders in construction
