What it is
BidPlanroom is web-based plan room, prequalification, and construction bidding software for commercial contractors. General contractors can post bid projects publicly or limit them to invited participants, then share project documents and manage bidding. The plan room supports document viewing, uploading, downloading, and versioning, with unlimited storage for general contractors. Branded invitations can be sent to lists built from past projects or subcontractors filtered by trade, group, location, or proximity. BidTracker records bidders and non-bidders, received bids, plan views, bid intentions, statistics, and notes. A form builder supports reusable questions and project-specific prequalification forms, with options to approve, deny, or rate submissions. The subcontractor directory lets general contractors search for subcontractors, vendors, and manufacturers by area and trade. Subcontractors, vendors, and reprographics can access GC-branded plan rooms for free, and publicly listed projects are free to view. The free plan is available; the General Contractor plan is 149.00 USD per month. A 30-day trial is listed.
Who it suits. BidPlanroom suits commercial general contractors managing project plans, bid invitations, and subcontractor prequalification. Subcontractors, vendors, and reprographics can access GC-branded plan rooms for free.
Good

Watch for
- General Contractor plan costs 149.00 USD per month
- Platform is web only
Verdict
BidPlanroom brings project documents, bidding, and prequalification into one web-based workflow for commercial construction. Its free access for subcontractors and public projects is distinct from the paid General Contractor plan.
