PDF proposal
Smith ContractingNative iPhone and iPad estimating app
Build the estimate before you leave the jobsite.
FieldBid helps solo contractors create professional contractor quotes and branded PDF proposals from the field. Use your own prices, start from real templates, and keep working when the signal drops.
- Price Book for your labor rates and material costs
- Trade templates you can edit for the way you actually bid
- Offline-first workflow with fast PDF sharing from iOS
Keep labor, materials, tax, and markup rules close at hand in your Price Book.
Generate branded PDF estimates with your logo, totals, notes, and terms.
FieldBid is offline-first, so the core estimating flow stays on the device.
Why contractors switch
The estimate is the sales pitch.
If the number lives in your head, the scope gets cleaned up later, and the proposal goes out tonight after dinner, you already know where the time leaks are. FieldBid is built to close that gap and get a clean number in front of the customer faster.
That is the slow version of the job. FieldBid is the faster one: template, quantities, total, PDF, send.
Start with a template.
Use painting, roofing, remodeling, landscaping, deck work, general repair, or a blank estimate instead of starting from zero.
Build from your numbers.
Store your labor rates and material costs once, then reuse them on every quote.
Preview before you leave.
See the PDF proposal while the scope is still fresh and the client is still engaged.
Share from the phone.
Send through Messages, Mail, AirDrop, Files, or print directly from the iOS share sheet.
How it works
From walk-through to proposal in a few minutes.
The flow is intentionally short. Put your business info in once, then use the same simple loop every time you quote a job.
Pick the template.
Choose a trade template or start blank if the job needs a custom layout.
Enter quantities and scope.
Fill in the measurements, counts, hours, and client details while you are still on site.
Let the math stay clean.
FieldBid calculates line totals, subtotal, tax, and total from your own pricing rules.
Preview and share the PDF.
Generate a branded proposal and send it before the next contractor follows up.
What you get
Everything needed to quote cleanly. Nothing that slows you down.
FieldBid stays focused on the estimating loop. It does not try to be dispatch software, a sales CRM, or an AI estimator. It gives solo contractors the pieces that matter most when the job is in front of them.
- Unlimited estimates and proposals
- Branded PDF generation with your logo
- Personal Price Book for materials and labor
- Automatic subtotal, tax, and total math
- Estimate statuses: Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined
- iOS sharing for text, email, AirDrop, Files, and print
Trade templates
Pre-built templates for painting, roofing, remodeling, landscaping, deck work, general repair, and blank estimates when you need full control.
Built for the first job that pays for it.
The product stays narrow on purpose: faster quoting, clearer proposals, and more confidence in the numbers you send.
