Our Bid Leveling Services

Arizona Framing Takeoffs provides bid leveling services for general contractors who need clarity when comparing subcontractor bids. We help turn inconsistent, uneven proposals into structured comparisons so award decisions are based on scope completeness and risk — not just price.

Subcontractor bids are rarely submitted on equal footing. Differences in inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and formatting make it difficult to know which bid truly represents the best value. Our services help reduce that uncertainty before a subcontract is awarded.

Included in Our Bid Leveling Services

Leveling is the process of standardizing subcontractor bids so they can be compared fairly. This includes aligning scope coverage, identifying exclusions, and clarifying assumptions across all bidders. 

Bid Normalization

We review subcontractor bids and normalize them into a consistent format so they can be compared fairly. This includes aligning how scope items, allowances, and qualifications are presented across bidders. Normalization removes formatting noise and makes real differences easier to identify.

Scope Gaps & Exclusions

We identify scope gaps, exclusions, and assumptions that differ between subcontractor bids. This includes highlighting missing items, qualified scope, or unclear responsibilities that could lead to change orders after award. Bringing these issues forward helps reduce downstream risk.

Comparison Support

We organize bid data into clear, side-by-side comparisons that allow decision-makers to evaluate bids based on scope completeness, not just price. These comparisons support confident award decisions and provide documentation for negotiations and buyout.
