Case Study: Ed Bell Construction bids 23 projects in 2 days with HCSS HeavyBid

Ed Bell Construction bids 23 projects in 2 days with HCSS

Ed Bell Construction, a company specializing in highway work, faced the challenge of efficiently bidding on a high volume of projects released in a short, two-day window by the Texas Department of Transportation. To overcome this, they utilized HCSS's HeavyBid estimating software to manage the intense workload and tight deadlines.

The solution from HCSS involved using HeavyBid's codebook, library, and import/export features to quickly assemble and tweak estimates, dramatically reducing manual data entry. This allowed a small team to submit bids on 23 projects in just 48 hours. The measurable result was that Ed Bell Construction won three of those projects, which were reported to be very profitable, directly because HCSS's software enabled them to bid on jobs competitors could not reach.
