Capacity (15%)Do you have the crew and schedule room to do it well?

Scope clarity (10%)Are the drawings and specs clear enough to price with confidence?

Client fit (15%)Does this owner or GC pay on time and treat subs fairly?

Margin potential (20%)Can you make your number here?

Win likelihood (10%)Do you have a real shot, or are you a check number?

Risk manageable (15%)Bonding, liquidated damages, contract terms: can you live with them?

Deal-breaker?Is there a must-have you can’t meet? Think bond, license, a mandatory pre-bid you missed, or no capacity at all.

What the score means

You still make the call. The score just keeps you honest before you spend a week on a takeoff.

The Bid & Opportunity Command Center uses this same scorecard, plus bid deadlines, checklists, follow-ups and win/loss tracking in one Excel file.

For planning only. Your numbers stay in your browser. Nothing you type here is sent or saved.

Turn a markup into a margin (and back) and see the real price and profit on any job.

Find the markup you actually need to cover your overhead and hit your profit goal.

See how much of your money, and your profit, the owner is holding until closeout.
