How BidClaw Works

From project setup to paid invoice — five steps, zero friction. Here's exactly how contractors use BidClaw to win more work.

1

Create a Project

Add your project details — client name, site address, deadline, and scope of work. Attach photos, notes, and specs right from your phone or laptop.

BidClaw keeps everything organized in one place so nothing falls through the cracks between the walkthrough and the bid.

Add line items for materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, and overhead. Set your markup percentage and BidClaw auto-calculates totals instantly.

Your margins stay visible at every step — no more guessing whether a job is actually profitable.

3

Generate a Proposal

One click exports a branded, professional PDF proposal ready to email or hand to your client on the spot.

Customizable templates with your logo, terms, and payment schedule make every bid look polished — even if you're a one-person shop.

Track & Compare

See all your active bids on one dashboard. Track status from draft to sent to signed, and know exactly where your pipeline stands.

Compare estimates side-by-side to spot pricing patterns, and never lose track of a follow-up again.

5

Win & Invoice

When a client says yes, mark the bid as won and generate an invoice directly from your estimate data — no re-typing anything.

Keep a clean record of every job from first bid to final payment. Your estimate history becomes your pricing library for future jobs.
