TerraBid

TerraBid is modern estimating software built specifically for landscape and hardscape contractors. It streamlines takeoffs, pricing, and proposals so you can bid faster, win more work, and protect your margins. Key capabilities • Unified takeoff to proposal: Import site plans or use built‑in map tools to measure areas, lengths, and counts for turf, beds, pavers, walls, lighting, irrigation, and more. Instantly convert quantities into line‑item estimates and a branded client proposal. • Smart assemblies: Build reusable assemblies for patios, retaining walls, plantings, and irrigation zones that auto‑calculate base materials, labor hours, waste, and equipment time from a single measurement. • Live cost controls: Centralize material prices, labor rates, equipment, subs, taxes, and markups. Apply tiered markups and overhead by division or item, with automatic margin and profit tracking. • Hardscape precision: Support for paver patterns, cut factors, bedding/base layers, edge restraints, geogrid, and step/riser logic—plus dynamic waste factors and haul calculations. • Landscape depth: Plant database with sizes and spacing, mulch/soil blends by depth, turf and seed conversions, tree protection, and maintenance templates for seasonal services. • Irrigation estimating: Heads, valves, pipe runs, wire, fittings, and trenching quantified from lengths and zones, with hydraulic notes captured alongside costs. • Templates and alternates: Save bid templates by project type; add options and value‑engineered alternates that clients can select. • Proposal builder: Generate clear, branded proposals with scope, inclusions/exclusions, schedules, terms, and e‑signatures. Toggle lump‑sum or itemized pricing. • Change orders and revisions: Track versions, convert approved changes to production budgets, and maintain a complete audit trail. • Production handoff: Push accepted estimates to work orders with crew hours, materials, and equipment lists; export to scheduling or field apps. • Reporting and insights: Pipeline, hit rate, and profitability dashboards; cost variance and margin‑by‑division reports. • Collaboration: Role‑based access, review workflows, and notes. Keep estimators, sales, and ops aligned in one system. • Integrations: Connect accounting, CRM, and procurement to eliminate double entry and keep costs current. • Anywhere access: Cloud‑based, fast, and secure—works on desktop and tablet with offline safeguards.
