PlanHub, the premier cloud software platform for commercial construction professionals, is introducing Virtual Bid Coordinator, an innovative new service designed to help general contractors save time and receive more bids per project. As part of this program, our team of virtual bid coordinators will make follow-up phone calls to qualified subcontractors who interacted with posted projects, improving ITB response rates while allowing estimators and bid coordinators to prioritize other tasks and bid on more projects.

PlanHub, the premier cloud software platform for commercial construction professionals, has launched “Virtual Bid Coordinator,” a premium service that provides general contractors with additional support following up with subcontractors to determine if they plan to bid on posted projects.

With the full support of PlanHub’s team of virtual bid coordinators, this new program will help general contractors increase ITB response rates and get better bid coverage while saving countless hours that they can use to pursue more projects.

For general contractors that don’t have a bid coordinator on staff, this service can support estimators so they don’t have to make as many calls and can spend their valuable time on other tasks. General contractors that have bid coordinators on staff can use this service to augment their team’s efforts so they can call on their most important trades and allow us to focus on the rest.

By encouraging more bidding activity, the Virtual Bid Coordinator also aims to help general contractors build competitive proposals and lock in jobs more quickly.

“PlanHub is designed to save General Contractors valuable time while also helping them improve bid coverage and pursue additional projects,” said Ro Bhatia, PlanHub CEO. “This new service will augment the efforts of bid coordinators and estimators, helping general contractors reach more subcontractors to drive more bidding activity.”

The true power of Virtual Bid Coordinator is in the numbers. For instance:

• We’ll contact up to 250 subcontractors per project
• 40%+ Contact Rate
• 30% Response Rate
• Countless Hours Freed Up For Other Tasks

Virtual Bid Coordinator is currently available as an add-on service for new and existing PlanHub members. For more information, please visit https://planhub.com/general-contractors//#for_virtual_bid_id.
