Bid intelligence for commercial roofing

You answer 40% of your invitations. The other 60% is your competitor's revenue.

Commercial roofers fully read fewer than half the packages they are invited on. Not because the jobs are bad. Because nobody has time for 800 pages. Bidroq reads every package the day it lands, cites the page under every roofing line, and hands your estimator a bid-ready scope in 20 minutes. Same team. Same hit rate. Every invitation answered.

Illustrative firm: 100 invitations a month, $350,000 average roofing scope, 15% win rate, the low end of published commercial benchmarks (ConstructConnect, 2026). The coverage ratio is the design partner's: 35 to 40 invitations a month, 15 fully read. Run your own numbers below.

Every line clicks through to the page it came from.

If Bidroq says the roofing trade owns the walkway pads, it shows you page 412. Your estimator never bids from a summary he cannot check.

The intelligence layer

It read the package. Then it remembered every one you ever received.

Reading the package is the first thing Bidroq does. Keeping it is why it stays. Every request for bid, every manufacturer sheet, every decision your office made, answered with the page.

Answer

Six invitations in twelve months, all through BuildingConnected. Four were tapered polyiso over steel deck. You bid the two where the general had already scoped roof access.

Percent of submitted bids you win. Published commercial benchmark: 15 to 25% competitive, 30 to 50% negotiated.

Bidroq reads a package in 20 minutes. Your 80 reading hours a month stay the same, so they cover 6x the packages. Coverage is derived from that, capped at 90% because about 1 in 10 invitations is a no-bid by choice.

Illustrative model, not a customer result. Bidroq does not change your hit rate. It changes how many invitations reach it. Coverage with Bidroq is not an assumption you set: it is your current reading hours divided by a 20-minute read, capped at 90%. Marginal invitations may win at a lower rate than your core work; the conservative line above assumes half.

Day 30

The 30-day pilot ends with a number, not a demo.

Send your next 100 packages through Bidroq. Unlimited users, no card, nothing to install. On day 30 we hand you a one-page Bid Coverage Report: invitations received, packages read, bids submitted, coverage before and after, hours of reading absorbed, addenda caught. It is the page your CFO puts in the board pack. It is also how you will know, in your own numbers, whether Bidroq earned the next month.

Bid Intelligence is $699 a month on an annual plan. One additional job a year at a 10% margin covers it four times over.

  1. Illustrative firm, not a customer result: 100 invitations a month, $350,000 average roofing scope, 15% win rate. The 40% coverage ratio is the Colorado design partner's (15 of its 35 to 40 invitations a month get a full review); 90% is the model's cap, because about 1 in 10 invitations is a no-bid by choice.
  2. Colorado design partner, owner/GM, Pricing and Value Discovery survey, August 2026. Two respondents, one account.
  3. Derived: a two-hour hand read against a twenty-minute Bidroq read. Takeoff and pricing are in beta and carry no accuracy claim.
