## Reviews

### "Better control of bids for subcontractors" — 5.0/5

> **Drew** | *July 1, 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This product better helps subcontractors control the work flow of their bidding process along with helping to analyze their bid data.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing I am overall satisfied and there are no other products available similar to Basis.
> 
> Extremely happy and looking forward to what new features they come up with.

### "Saves me 5 hours of manual entry a day" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *August 21, 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I no longer have to manually type in bid deadlines and track my projects.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes I need to link projects together.

### "BasisBoard is a valuable multi-tool for our Estimating Process" — 4.0/5

> **Erich** | *October 18, 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am getting far less bid invitation emails in my Inbox thanks to BasisBoard. Emails are compiled and presented in a way that is very organized and easy to manage. The fact that it is pulling bid invites from my Inbox as well as from others on my team is helping to ensure that no potential opportunities are missed. BasisBoard is a great tool for our Estimating team to track projects throughout the estimating process while providing valuable analytics along the way.
> 
> **Cons**: We have experienced some difficulty when attempting to merge projects and use the revision button to update bid packages or pricing. It seems a bit cumbersome and doesn't always update the way we expect it to. However, any support we have asked for has been great. When we ask for help solving this problem, I am positive that they will work to explain and/or fix any issues we have.

### "We Love BasisBoard\!" — 4.0/5

> **Tracy** | *February 11, 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a Specialties subcontractor in a very busy market, we typically receive well over 100 emails every day pertaining to ITB's, with many in duplicate/triplicate (or more).  Typically these boil down to anywhere from 10-25 actual ITB's received every day, the majority of which we say "no" to after reviewing.  Before BasisBoard, we had a person whose only role was to manually plug all ITB data into our own system, even for projects we weren't going to bid.  BasisBoard essentially enabled us to eliminate the position entirely, and allows us to quickly and easily filter out the "junk" from the "treasures" without hours of needless manual data entry before getting to that point.  The addition of BasisBoard's Plan Downloading feature further simplified the process, as previously the person in the role of manual data entry was also tasked with downloading all bid documents onto our own local server (meaning BasisBoard also saves us data storage space)
> 
> **Cons**: As someone who uses Bluebeam Revu daily, i find the navigation of plans in BasisBoard to still be somewhat tedious in comparison, but has improved since the initial release thanks to some improvements by the developers since initial implementation.  A few minor additions to zoom in/out capabilities would go a long way.
> 
> Eliminated overhead, and gained efficiency with timeframe between receiving ITB's and estimators \& account managers getting them on their "radar," previously it would take anywhere from 3-5 business days between receiving ITB and someone laying eyes on plans and specs, with BasisBoard that's decreased to one day, two at the most typically.

### "Basis Review" — 5.0/5

> **Ryan** | *August 16, 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to track submitted projects and run analytics
> 
> **Cons**: It is a website so without internet access it cannot be used. Maybe a desktop version or offline sync ability in the future
> 
> When good info comes in basis board does what it promises for a fair price
