BidDock is a web-based buyout management platform for general contractors coordinating preconstruction work. It brings bid packages, subcontractor responses, bid comparison and scope awards into one workflow. Teams can send invitations and follow email opens, clicks and responses in real time. A secure, shareable plan room gives subcontractors access to drawings from the invitation; they can confirm interest or decline through an email link without signing in or creating an account. For bid leveling, a scope matrix puts bids side by side to help identify exclusions, by-others items and gaps in scope. The buyout log tracks awarded scopes, subcontract amounts and savings across projects, and subcontractor directories can be imported from Excel or CSV. AI features cover bid extraction, plan analysis, scope summaries, pre-construction RFI generation and plan-room search. BidDock states that it uses encryption, row-level security and SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. A free plan and free trial are listed; paid plans start at $99/mo. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, with data accessible for 30 days afterward.
