Case Study: PCL Construction saves 8+ hours per project with SmartBid

How PCL Construction uses SmartBid to Save 8+ Hours Per Project

PCL Construction, a large multinational contractor active across buildings, civil infrastructure and heavy industrial markets, faced slow, manual bid solicitation processes that relied on spreadsheets and email. To simplify preconstruction workflows and improve organization across dozens of offices and hundreds of subcontractors, PCL turned to Smart Bid’s bid solicitation/bid management software.

Smart Bid consolidated and automated PCL’s invitation-to-bid, subcontractor qualification, and bid comparison tasks, making training and adoption easier and reducing follow-up time with subs. The solution cut preconstruction time significantly—saving PCL 8+ hours per project—delivered a positive ROI, and reached break-even by the end of the pilot while improving transparency and subcontractor satisfaction.
