"We've found TotalBid to be a simple, efficient and cost effective tool. With TotalBid we're able to review competitive costing utilizing a detailed standardized format, monitor multiple projects across our footprint and create reporting using historical project data that give us the ability to track and compare more granular costs in a project or across a state, region or Nationally"   Bill Wilkinson, VP Development, Wachovia Bank

"With the level of change order approvals we implement, requiring architect and facility partner review, approve or reject, we were able to reduce the amount of change orders that would have blindly been approved by the AEs and project managers whom did not have an incentive to reject them. In the past we basically saved due to the contractual relationships with these two groups, but we knew we needed to do better so we changed the approval process to add value to the owner, thus we implemented TotalBid's Change Order Management product. Interestingly, our facility partner made an argument in 2008 that we had way too many errors and omissions, so the change orders were due to poor plans by the architects. We found that this is not true and the PM's would code the change orders as E & O without even verifying what was on the drawings. This is why I had the AEs added into the CO approval loop in TotalBid. They circumvented many potential change orders by rejecting ones submitted and directing the GC to the plans and specs. As a result, the TotalBid Change Order Management product has helped to reduce our change orders by over 15%." Construction VP, regional US bank.

"I just wanted to pass on how well your system has worked out for us.  TotalBid has been great for our latest round of Project Audits.  We demonstrated the process and your product as a best practice that has helped to insure consistency in the practice of bidding, leveling and awarding.  I recommend your product to others in the industry, all the time! Your product has helped our overall transition back to competitive bidding (from negotiated contracts). The savings have far exceeded our expectations.  I suspect we would have enjoyed some of the savings without TotalBid, but your product got us there faster and with more uniformity than we would have gotten in a traditional way.  As you have seen, we have expanded the use of TotalBid to more types of projects and now our partners have started using it for procuring AE services." The Nation's Leading Financial Institution Construction and Development Lead

"Project Managers are able to get the bid packages out much faster which of course allows each of them to handle more and we are experiencing an estimated savings of 5% to 7% on projects with Bid Automation and Multistage Bidding." John Baregi, Director of Engineering, Holiday Companies owner of Holiday Stationstores.
