Only the tenders you can price, staff, and win.
Stepscale finds bids that match your trades and radius, flags whether they are feasible, organizes the tender package, and catches compliance gaps.
Bid season today
This is bid season, today.
Across contractors, finding and chasing work runs on estimator time and manual checks.
Monitor
Watch Bids and Tenders, MERX, Biddingo, JAGGER, and ConstructConnect, then clear duplicates and noise.
Qualify
Check trade, geography, licensing, size, and role against your capacity and margin.
Price
Pull drawings, specs, and addenda, then take off quantities, line up subs, and price by hand.
Submit
Assemble the bid, check forms, declarations, and addenda, and submit through the portal before close.
Afterward, the result gets tracked in a spreadsheet, a CRM, or not at all.
Where the time goes
The cost is paid before pricing even starts.
The same frustrations come up at contractor after contractor.
Portals produce noise and misses
Alerts are noisy and duplicated across Bids and Tenders, MERX, Biddingo, JAGGER, and ConstructConnect, and miscategorized projects slip through.
Fit is trade, geography, and role
A title match is not a fit. It depends on trade, radius, licensing, labor travel, size, and whether you run it as GC, prime, or trade.
Estimators carry it all
The people searching portals also download docs, judge fit, do takeoff, and prepare the response. Capacity is gone before pricing starts.
Go/no-go is manual
Weekly meetings weigh capacity, competition, client, logistics, and margin, from information scattered across documents, portals, and people.
Closings are a compliance cliff
Missing forms, unacknowledged addenda, wrong versions, and Canadian-content declarations get you disqualified. Deadlines show up inconsistently.
Experience is scattered
Past projects, qualifications, safety docs, and team info live across drives, folders, Ignite, Excel, and InDesign.
How Stepscale helps
Built around the bid, not just the proposal.
Stepscale extracts, organizes, compares, and flags, so your estimators move from a complete picture to a sharper bid in less time.
Aggregate every source
Bids and Tenders, MERX, Biddingo, JAGGER, and ConstructConnect in one feed, duplicates removed, deadlines shown as real dates.
Filter by trade and radius
Match on trade, geography, licensing, size, and GC, prime, or trade role, so only feasible work reaches an estimator.
Open the tender fast
Extract scope, drawings, specs, and addenda, and surface quantities and comparable budgets for context.
Run go/no-go
Weigh capacity, competition, logistics, and margin in one place, across hard bids, prequals, RFQs, and proposals.
Pull your experience
Past projects, qualifications, safety docs, and team info, searchable, so the right proof is a search, not a folder hunt.
Clear compliance before close
Every mandatory form, declaration, and addendum checked, so nothing gets disqualified at the deadline.
Built on trust
Confidence, built in.
Stepscale gives your team the evidence to bid sharply, and keeps your work private.
Bid with a complete picture
Stepscale pulls the drawings, specs, addenda, and comparable past bids into one place, so your estimators build a sharper, more competitive number in less time.
Your data stays private
Your bids, financials, and client files are yours. Nothing is used to train public models, and everything is protected with enterprise-grade security.
