BidForge calculates quantities and bid prices for MSE walls, CIP walls, gabion, slabs, sidewalks, curb & gutter, and more — calibrated to real GDOT market rates. No more guessing. No more underbidding.
Most GDOT contractors are still using outdated spreadsheets with wrong unit prices — and losing money when they win.
Simple spreadsheets miss geogrid area, select fill volume, and drainage — pricing MSE walls at $40/SF when the real cost is $85–95/SF installed.
Reading station data from plans, calculating face areas, and building cost tables by hand takes a full day — for every single bid.
Geogrid layers, leveling pad concrete, excavation, drainage pipe, curb & gutter — routinely missed or underestimated without the right tool.
BidForge walks you through the whole process — no training required.
Drop in a GDOT plan PDF. BidForge reads wall schedules, station numbers, heights, and face areas automatically — or measure directly on screen with the visual takeoff tool.
Select your wall type — MSE, CIP, gabion, slab, sidewalk, curb & gutter. Enter height and length. Everything else calculates automatically.
BidForge outputs a full quantity takeoff and cost estimate — material, labor, equipment, overhead, profit, and contingency — ready to submit.
Built by a GDOT contractor who got tired of losing bids to bad numbers.
