Not every pursuit is a good pursuit. Here’s how to score opportunities and walk away with your estimating hours intact.
BidSync Estimating Team
BidSync AI
Estimating capacity is your scarcest resource. Every hour spent chasing a low-probability, low-margin job is an hour not spent sharpening the bids you will actually win. A bid-no-bid framework turns that intuition into a score.
Weight the factors your track record says matter: owner payment history, job complexity versus your current crews, competition, margin potential, and resource availability. A simple 1–5 weighted score beats gut feel and survives leadership review.
The framework only works if thresholds are agreed in advance. Below a 60% composite score, the estimator’s job is to decline — not to convince anyone. Above 80%, the same framework says commit the best crew in the house.
BidSync scores incoming opportunities from your history: what you win, at what markup, with which owner and trade mix. The pipeline becomes a decision system instead of a list of hopes.
