Spreadsheets are great after the scope is clear.

Excel is still where many contractors price work. BidPacket does not replace that. It helps create the organized input for the spreadsheet: summary, scope, materials, assumptions, and exclusions.

Keep the pricing model you trust.

If you already have a workbook for labor, markups, production rates, and vendor quotes, keep it. That knowledge belongs to your business.

Custom formulas and markups stay in your control.
Vendor pricing and labor assumptions remain yours.
You can still export BidPacket materials into Excel.
Final bid math stays with the contractor.

Before Excel, there is still the document mess.

A spreadsheet does not read the RFP, catch submission requirements, or draft assumptions. BidPacket handles the reading and reassembly step so the spreadsheet starts with cleaner inputs.
