Construction estimating and bidding
One place for every bid due date and tender close, built for estimators carrying a dozen win-or-it's-gone deadlines at once.
An estimator doesn't track a deadline, you track a moving pipeline. A dozen open bids at once, each closing on a date someone else set, each one win-or-it's-gone. The strong bid that arrives late loses to the weak one that arrived on time.
The dates don't hold still. An addendum lands in the afternoon and pushes the close, or changes the scope, hours before sub quotes are due. The close you wrote down last Tuesday is not the close today, and the spreadsheet doesn't know it moved.
And the dates live everywhere. Across portals, across your inbox, on a whiteboard. Past ten or fifteen open bids the manual tracking becomes its own problem, and a buried ITB is a job you never bid.
What you're tracking
Bid due dates, tender closes, ITBs, RFPs and RFQs, prequalification deadlines, pre-bid meetings and site visits, RFI and question cutoffs, addenda, bid bonds and insurance dates, award and notice-of-award dates.
How Deadlinewatch fits
Every open bid in one list. Sorted by what's closing next, no matter which portal or inbox the ITB came from. One source of truth above all the others.
When a date moves, you move it once. Edit the close in place and the whole pipeline re-sorts. No re-typing an addendum's new date across a spreadsheet, and the change shows at a glance.
See the brutal week coming. The Forecast draws the next weeks as a load curve over a heatmap, so three closings stacked on a Thursday show up in time to make the go or no-go call, before you're underwater.
Live pipeline, clean record. Pursued bids stay active. Won, lost, and no-go bids leave the live list but stay on the Completed record, so the board is only what's live.
What it isn't
Deadlinewatch isn't a takeoff tool, a sub-leveling platform, or a bid CRM. It's the calm deadline layer the heavyweight tools bury under workflow. It tracks the closing dates. It doesn't do the estimate.
