How Jobbidder turns a job into a winning proposal

From the moment a lead calls to the signed deposit, here's exactly what happens, how each part works, and why it's built this way, grounded in real numbers, not AI guesses.

The 5-step core loop

Getting started with Jobbidder takes only a few minutes. Go to jobbidder.io and create your account, there is no credit card, no setup call, and no waiting for approval, you are in right away. From there, Jessica, your built in AI assistant, answers every call for you. When a customer calls, she asks a few simple questions about the job, what it is, where it is, and when it needs to happen, just like a real conversation. As soon as the call ends, Jobbidder turns that conversation into a real proposal with a good, better, and best price option, itemized and professional, and texts it straight to the customer's phone within seconds, not days. The customer opens the text, chooses the option they want, and signs right there on their own phone, with no printing, no email chains, and no chasing anyone down. Once the job is signed, it lands in your dashboard ready to schedule, and payment flows straight through with nothing to enter again and nothing to remember. That is the whole process, from a phone call to a signed, paid job.

How Jobbidder stands out

Estimating first, not scheduling first

Everyone else treats estimating as an extra feature. It's the whole point of Jobbidder, a real, line by line proposal with three price options in about a minute.

Priced from real costs

Your cost catalog makes material pricing consistent and easy to defend, instead of an AI guess you have to hope is close.

It reads the actual spec

Upload the architect's PDF and every system gets priced, with a check that flags anything missing before you send.

It answers your phone

Jessica, the AI voice assistant, qualifies leads 24/7 so you stop losing jobs to whoever called back first.

You own your data

No per user lock in, no holding your customers hostage. Export it or connect it to your other tools, freely.

It pays you back

A built in referral program turns your network into income instead of a subscription bill.

It answers from your documents

The Knowledge Base lets you ask questions across everything you've uploaded and get answers that show their sources, your files, kept private to your account.

Questions contractors ask

What problem does Jobbidder actually solve?

Contractors lose jobs for one of three reasons. Someone else called the customer back first, the price was wrong, too high loses the job and too low loses money on it, or the paperwork took long enough that the customer's attention moved on. Jessica answering every call fixes the first, pricing grounded in your real costs instead of a guess fixes the second, and signing and paying on the spot from a text fixes the third. Get to the customer first, quote it right, and close it before they call anyone else.

How do I know this actually works before I commit to anything?

Use the Talk to Jessica button on this site. Describe a real job the way a customer would and watch what comes back. You don't need an account, a credit card, or a sales call to see if the pricing and the proposal actually hold up, you can test the exact thing you'd be paying for in under a minute.

What makes the 60 second AI proposal actually new, not just faster?

Most tools that promise faster estimates still make you fill in a form, pick line items, and build the document yourself, they just make each step a little quicker. Jobbidder skips that part entirely. You tell it about the job, either by talking to Jessica or typing a description, and it writes the entire proposal itself, the scope of work, the materials, the labor, and three price tiers to choose from, ready to send in under 60 seconds. Nobody hand builds anything in between.

What if I'm not the one bidding jobs, I'm the one hiring and managing contractors?

Jobbidder isn't only for the contractor bidding the job. If your company hires contractors or subcontractors, you carry a different risk every day, not knowing for certain whose insurance and license are still valid right now. Checking that by hand means phone calls, emails, and a filing cabinet you hope is current. Applicant Review gives you one place to bring people on and check their documents, and Subcontractor Compliance watches every policy and license you have on file, texting and emailing you before one expires instead of after it becomes a problem on a job site. One dashboard shows you who is actually cleared to work today.

Is Jobbidder going to replace my estimator or my judgment?

No, it does the tedious 90% (reading the spec, listing every system, drafting materials and labor, formatting a client ready document) so your judgment goes on the 10% that matters: checking quantities, adjusting a price, deciding scope. You review and approve every proposal before it leaves.

How accurate are the numbers, really?

As accurate as what you feed it. Right out of the box the AI produces a realistic estimate. Turn on your Cost Catalog with your real supplier pricing and the material side stops being a guess, the same job always prices the same way, from numbers you can defend line by line. The one thing you still confirm yourself is the quantities (how much of each material the job needs), which you check when you review.

What happens with a giant commercial spec, will it choke or cut things off?

No. You can paste a huge amount of text (up to about 25 pages, with a clear warning if you somehow go over, never a silent cut), or upload the full spec PDF and let Jobbidder read the entire document. It then lists every system so nothing gets dropped, and a completeness check warns you if a named system wasn't priced.

Does it handle prevailing wage and public jobs?

Yes. Jobbidder asks whether the job is government, school, or publicly funded and also scans the job details automatically, then flags the proposal with a prevailing wage notice and reference rates so you don't bid public work at private market labor.

How is this different from ServiceTitan, Jobber, or Housecall Pro?

Those are scheduling and dispatch systems that add estimating on as an afterthought; they charge per worker per month, take months to set up, and keep your data. Jobbidder is built around estimating first: it writes accurate, line by line proposals with three price options in about a minute, prices from your real costs, answers your phone with AI, lets you own and export your data, and even pays you for referrals.

Do I need to be technical to set it up?

No. Sign in, set your trade and pricing once, share your intake link, and you're generating proposals the same day. There's no multi month onboarding or consultant required.

What trades does it support?

Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, painting, glazing, landscaping, remodeling and general contracting, solar, and moving, each with its own estimator 'playbook' so the proposal reads like it came from a specialist in that trade.

Can I use my own pricing and branding?

Yes. Set per trade labor rates, markup, overhead, and profit; build your own cost catalog; and (on eligible plans) white label proposals with your logo and colors. Every proposal uses your numbers, not ours.

Where does my data live, and can I get it out?

Your data is yours. Jobbidder runs on secure, modern systems, and every contractor only ever sees their own records, never anyone else's. You can export your data or connect it to tools like GHL or HubSpot anytime. You're never locked in.

How much does it cost?

Plans scale from solo operators to multi crew shops, with a free way to try it. See the Pricing page for current tiers, and remember the referral program can offset or eliminate your cost.

Your pricing. Your data. Your proposals.
