The process
Describe the project in plain language. Rough notes, measurements, scope. Text it like you'd tell a buddy about the job.
AI breaks it down: itemized materials at local supplier rates, labor based on regional benchmarks, and a suggested markup.
Get a clean, branded estimate link you can text or email to your client. Professional. Instant. No more "I'll get back to you."
Built for the trades
Works from your regular text messages. If you can text, you can use TextABid. No login, no password, no app store.
Calibrated against real supplier data in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Nampa, and Caldwell. Not generic national averages.
Every estimate gets a branded shareable link. Text it to your client before you even start your truck.
Text HISTORY to pull up past jobs instantly. Every estimate is saved and searchable.
TextABid is building the future of contractor estimating. One text at a time. Currently in private beta across Idaho and Utah.
