Live bidding for construction.
Owners post. Approved contractors bid live. The best price wins.
Free to join. Every account is reviewed before it can post or bid.
Every month
Construction bidding still runs on
- phone tag.
- emailed PDFs.
- bids lost in inboxes.
Phone calls, scattered PDFs and lost emails cost owners and bidders time and money.
There’s a better way.
Monthly bidding cycles for owners, turnkey subcontractors, vendors & suppliers.
Step 1
Post your project
A full set of drawings, or just an idea and an address. We do the rest.

Behind the scenes
Then our team takes it from here.
Every project is unpacked into a clear, bid-ready package.
-
01
Takeoffs
Quantities in the format suppliers already use.
-
02
Schedule
Schedule of values and draw schedule, ready at contract award.
-
03
Field drawings
Construction sequence, quantities and drawings, prepared in advance.
-
04
Code compliance
Checked against applicable codes. Inspections become a breeze.
-
05
Approvals
Pre-approved shop drawings & deferred submittals, plus fabrication and CNC files.
For subs & suppliers
The big time saver
No more shuttling drawings.
Bidders know the schedule up front, and every approval is ready at award.
The old way
Every approval bounces between five parties.
With Eliskopes
Approved once.
Ready at award.
- Schedule known before anyone bids
- Shop drawings & deferred submittals pre-approved
- Fabrication & CNC files included
Imagine the time saved on every project.
Step 2
You choose who can bid
Every bidder is approved first. Click any company to exclude it from your project.
Example companies. In your project, you see the approved bidders for your trades.
Going live
Then it goes live.
Interested, approved partners are notified, and every question is answered right up to the deadline.
- 1
Job posted
Approved partners alerted.
- 2
Q&A open
Vendors and contractors ask. We answer.
- 3
Supplier auction closes
Vendors & suppliers finish first.
3 hours early - 4
Main auction closes
Final bids locked in.
Two auctions, one deadline. The vendor & supplier auction ends 3 hours before the main auction.
Step 3
Bidders compete live
Each new bid beats the last by 1%. Rivals stay anonymous.
Step 4
Bidding closes. Names revealed.
The lowest bid wins each package — and everyone sees who.
Example: on a project that starts at $6,200,000, each new bid is 1% lower, down to $5,663,807 when bidding closes. Rebar, post-tensioning, concrete, supports and chairs, dirt haul-off and miscellaneous packages are bid the same way. Bidders appear as anonymous IDs until the award, then the winning companies are named.
Example project: 4-Story Office Building, Houston, TX.
