DESCRIPTION
Construction bid templates play a large part on properly winning jobs! One error can make a costly difference, which is why we have built our template to eliminate most of the common errors that happen from incorrect or missing formulas. 
​
The construction bid template breaks down each Division from 1 to 16 on separate pages, and totals all the numbers per each division. All of the division costs are then automatically totaled on the summary page, doing all the computation work for you! After performing the division takeoffs, simply edit the percentages for profit, burden, etc, and you will have a complete bid! 
​
This bid template will make bidding simple and relaxed, leaving you to focus your attention on what really matters - a great takeoff with competitive prices.
 
 
TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS:
 
Step 1  
Locate all of the tabs on the bottom of this Worksheet
The first tab is the "Instructions" Tab
The next tab will be "Summary" and the rest will be "Div 1 through Div 16"
These are reflecting the CSI Divisions 1 - 16
On the "Summary" page, update the Project information on the Top Right of the page
      
Step 2  
Delete the 2 Example numbers and values on tab "Div 1" (Only the numbers on the white cells)                       
They are only meant to show you how to enter information in.
*Do not edit or delete any of the Grey Highlighted areas, as they are formulas.
*If you write over the formulas the text will turn red to warn you. Please click "Undo" if you do this by accident.
                        
Step 3  
Enter your information for the following columns in the "Div" Pages
 
Step 4  
After filling out all of the Division pages, the "Summary" page will automatically have updated the totals.
 
Step 5  
On the "Summary" page, update the percentages for the following:
Tax
Labor Burden
Overhead & Profit   
                                                                                                                
Step 6  
Verify that all the numbers add up correctly. The Grand Total on your Summary Page should give you the total price for the bid
 
Step 7  
If you need to break down the total's for the bid, use the tab "Manual Summary" In there, you must manually add in all of the line items and value, as you did for the individual Divisions. When you are done adding the values in the "Manual Summary", check back with the "Summary" tab to ensure that the "Grand Total" for the Bid is the same. This is an easy way to verify that you entered the numbers correctly.
