Plumbing bids live or die on fixture counts, pipe runs and phase breakouts. TradeBid drafts underground, rough-in and trim-out lines from your plans so your bid matches how you invoice, then exports a branded PDF. Need a simple starting format? See our plumbing bid sheet template.

Frequently asked questions

What plumbing scopes does TradeBid handle?

New construction rough-in, tenant improvements, remodels, commercial kitchens, restroom buildouts, underground plumbing, and fixture replacement projects.

Can it break out phases separately?

Yes — TradeBid organizes line items by work phase (underground, rough-in, trim-out) so your bid matches how you'll invoice.

Do I need to upload plans or is a written scope enough?

Either works. TradeBid can generate a bid from a written scope document, a PDF of plans, or a photo of a hand-drawn sketch.
