Question 1

How does Bid.Fast work?

Accepted Answer

You record a voice walkthrough of the job on your phone — talking through the scope, materials, and any details you notice. Bid.Fast transcribes your audio and uses AI to generate a complete, itemized labor and materials estimate in under 90 seconds. You then share the estimate link with your client.

Question 2

What trades does Bid.Fast support?

Accepted Answer

Bid.Fast works for any trade contractor: roofers, electricians, plumbers, painters, HVAC technicians, general contractors, concrete/flatwork, landscapers, drywall, flooring, solar, and fencing contractors. The AI is tuned for each trade's standard units, line items, and market rates.

Question 3

How accurate are the estimates?

Accepted Answer

Estimates are based on current US market contractor rates and are calibrated to the high end of the range — so you never underprice. You can also add your own custom prices for materials and equipment you use regularly, and the AI will use your exact prices instead of guessing.

Question 4

Can I send estimates in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bid.Fast has full English and Spanish support. You can set your dashboard language independently from the language your client receives their estimate in — so a Spanish-speaking contractor can send English bids, or an English-speaking contractor can send Spanish bids to bilingual clients.

Question 5

How do clients receive and approve estimates?

Accepted Answer

When you're ready to share, your client gets a clean, professional estimate link they can open on any device. They tap Accept or Decline, and you get notified instantly. No app download required for the client.

Question 6

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you get 3 free estimates to start, no credit card required. After that, Pro is $29/month for unlimited estimates, PDF export, email delivery, and priority support.

Question 7

What's included in the Pro plan?

Accepted Answer

Pro ($29/month) includes unlimited estimates, PDF export with company branding, email delivery to clients, full EN + ES bilingual support, client accept/decline links, and priority support.

Question 8

Can I use my own labor rates and material prices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Settings you can set your default labor rate ($/hr), markup percentage, and expense flat fees. You can also build a custom Price Book with your real material and equipment prices — the AI uses these exact rates when they match a job.

Simple pricing. No surprises.
