The new cost estimate upgrade
Increase efficiencies with automatic calculations of cost and price to reduce risk from bidding to project closeout.
Save time
The spreadsheet-style cost estimate with desktop-class performance, unbreakable formulas and simultaneous calculation of both cost and price directly links to many other items throughout the course of a project. Create estimates directly in RedTeam Flex and save time from start to finish.
Work collaboratively
Collaborate with multiple users on the cost estimate at the same time. Any changes are immediately reflected for everyone to see. Cost and price update in real time, so teams can keep moving forward on the bid process without waiting on others to complete their part.
Stored metadata

Creating bid packages in RedTeam Flex
Increase efficiencies, reduce risk and enhance collaboration and communication for the back office team.
New bid packages in RedTeam Flex
Now users can create bid packages combining multiple cost codes. Vendors submit their quote for the package, rather than for each cost code, one by one. Saving users and their vendors time when bidding for the work.
Advanced bid leveling functionality
Once multiple quotes are received for a particular bid package, users can view the quotes side by side in a high level of detail. Navigate through each vendor's pricing by cost code and determine if bids exclude any items. Bid packages can be broken up and awarded to multiple vendors if necessary.
Managing vendor quotes in RedTeam Flex
The updated vendor quote process helps streamline back-office operations to increase efficiencies and reduce risk during preconstruction and when managing change requests.
Save time managing vendor quotes
With the new vendor quote step, we have drastically reduced the number of clicks required to manage vendor quotes. A clean and easy-to-navigate interface and more options to filter, sort or hide columns makes the whole process of selecting vendors more user-friendly.
Coupled with the new bid packages and bid leveling functionality, these enhancements make it even easier and more efficient to use preconstruction in RedTeam Flex.
Key features:
- Filter, sort and hide columns to customize your view
- Track vendor quotes by status, RFQ date and more
- All metadata is stored in the project, including quotes, communications and more
- Quotes submitted by vendors and selected as best automatically update the cost estimate
Save time and reduce risk
Creating proposals in RedTeam Flex as part of your preconstruction and bidding process saves time and reduces risk throughout the project.
Create professional-looking proposals
Creating proposals directly in RedTeam Flex allows users to automatically pull all the data entered during preconstruction into your proposal. Not only saving valuable time, but also reducing manual work and risk for errors.
Standardized use of company-approved terms, further ensures compliance and reduces risk.
RedTeam Flex includes three standard proposal types:
