The slot between “quotes are in” and “number is out.”
Takeoff tools generate quantities. Bid management tools collect quotes. Project tools track progress. None of them read what just hit your inbox.

A short walkthrough of the dashboard, project workspace, quote upload, review items, and scope-based quote comparison.
Dashboard, project workspace, quote upload, review items, and scope-based quote comparison — how an estimator moves from raw vendor quotes to organized review notes without pretending the tool replaces judgment.
Four review groups. Reviewed in seconds.
QuoteCrunch organizes quote language into the four families that usually need an answer before bid day — fast, plain-English, and easy to review with the project team.
Where the included scope needs confirmation.
Furnish-only quotes, excluded prep, missing connections, surface restoration left for "by others."
- Furnish only — install excluded
- Excludes traffic control & MOT
- Tie-ins / connections by GC
- Restoration & seeding excluded
The fine print that needs a written answer.
Bond, insurance, retainage, schedule, and compliance language organized for estimator review.
- Bond by others / GC
- Insurance limits below GC requirement
- No liquidated damages clause
- Retainage at 5% — GC requires 10%
The clauses that need a written answer.
Mobilization wording, escalation clauses, finance charges, and payment terms that should be confirmed.
- Uncapped escalation indexed to PPI
- 12% mobilization at NTP
- Net 60 + 1.5% finance charge
- Front-loaded SOV
Will the price hold to bid open?
Quote expiration, lead-time guarantees, and quote-at-time-of-order language that needs confirmation.
- 30-day validity ends pre-bid
- Material terms subject to order date
- Lead time 12+ wk on submittals
- Quote ages out mid-negotiation
Built for the people, by the people.
