BidScreen XL Software
BidScreen XL Software by Vertigraph, Inc. – Streamline Your Takeoffs Directly in Excel
In construction, time matters. Estimates must be accurate, organized, and ready fast. That’s why many professionals now rely on BidScreen XL software by Vertigraph, Inc. It’s a powerful Excel add-in for quantity takeoff that lets you measure, mark, and manage takeoffs all within Microsoft Excel.
There’s no need for extra programs or switching between screens. If you’re a contractor used to working with Excel, this tool meets you where you already are. Whether you’re working with construction bidding and estimating software, building construction bidding software, or commercial construction bidding software, this tool keeps your process simple and effective.
What is BidScreen XL?
BidScreen XL is an easy-to-use bidding software that construction professionals use to calculate and document takeoffs directly in Excel. It helps you measure areas, lengths, and item counts from your electronic drawing files. With just a click on a cell, you can start measuring, apply symbols, and store your visual takeoff data all inside your spreadsheet.
It works with common digital file types like PDF, DWG, DXF, and TIF, so you can open what you already have. From concrete bidding software to full-scale commercial projects, BidScreen XL handles it with clarity and speed.
Designed for Real-World Contractors
Whether you’re a general contractor, subcontractor, or estimator, this tool is designed with your daily tasks in mind. Key features include:
- Works with your existing Excel workbooks
- Snap to vector lines for precise measurements
- No file conversions needed work directly with PDFs or CAD files
- Mark drawings with custom colors, patterns, and labels
- Save drawings and calculations within the same file
- Access sample templates for trades like painting, concrete, and roofing
It’s especially useful for contractors who want simple tools that make sense. No exporting. No complicated setup. Just one place to measure and estimate.
Meet Deadlines with Confidence
One of the most frustrating parts of estimating is flipping between drawings, spreadsheets, and emails. With Vertigraph BidScreen XL, you no longer have to.
Open multiple drawing pages at once, measure cross sections accurately (even if the scales are different), and store all data in the cloud. It’s flexible enough for large projects and focused enough for small teams.
The Drawing Manager helps you keep all pages and notes well-organized. You can edit takeoffs, move points, adjust curves, and round measurements easily. If a value changes, your Excel sheet updates automatically.
This saves time and helps reduce errors.
For Every Contractor’s Toolkit
This software supports a wide range of contractor roles. Whether you’re using it as:
- General contractor construction project management software
- Construction management software for small contractors
- Independent contractor management software
- Or simply construction estimating software for general contractors
You’ll get clear audit trails, live updates, and accurate totals fast.
From managing concrete volumes to item counts for finishes, BidScreen XL gives you confidence that your numbers are correct.
