Need subcontractor quotes? We can handle the follow-up.
Getting enough trade prices takes time. Mapleheart helps general contractors across Canada invite subcontractors to quote, follow up on responses and keep everything organized before tender close.
Already have trades you work with? We can coordinate your existing contacts. Need more bidders? We can help find and invite additional subcontractors.
From invitations to quote comparisons
Existing Trade Coordination
Share your preferred subcontractor list. We'll distribute the current tender documents, track responses and follow up on outstanding quotations.
New Subcontractor Sourcing
Need more coverage for a trade? We'll research suitable subcontractors and invite them to price the work. Participation depends on each subcontractor's availability and interest.
Tender Questions & Addenda
We track trade questions, route clarifications to the right people and make sure updated documents are shared with invited bidders.
Quotation Comparisons
We organize quotes by trade, highlight inclusions and exclusions, and flag differences or missing information for your team to review.
How it works
Tell us what you're bidding
Send the tender documents, trade list, closing date and any subcontractors you'd like us to contact.
We coordinate the invitations
Once you approve the scope and quote, we invite trades, share documents and follow up as pricing comes in.
Review the trade quotations
We provide a comparison of the responses, exclusions and outstanding questions so your team can make pricing decisions.
Use your trades, find new ones, or both.
Some contractors have a solid network but don't have time to chase quotations. Others need help finding bidders for specific scopes or projects outside their usual area.
We can help with a single trade or several. You choose the scope, and we keep the tender records organized so your team can focus on the estimate and final bid.
A clearer picture of your trade pricing.
- Invitation and response tracking
- Received subcontractor quotations
- Side-by-side comparison of pricing and scope
- Outstanding clarifications and exclusions
Subcontractors decide whether to quote. Your company reviews and approves pricing, trade selection and final bid decisions.
Need help with the bid submission itself?
Subcontractor tendering is about collecting and comparing trade quotations. Our separate Bid Preparation & Compliance service focuses on the general contractor's submission to the project owner—including mandatory forms, evaluation criteria and document checks.
A few common questions
Can you contact our existing subcontractors?
Yes. We can work from your preferred trade list, source additional bidders or do both.
Can you guarantee a certain number of quotes?
No. We can source, invite and follow up with suitable subcontractors, but each company decides whether to participate.
Can you compare trade quotes?
Yes. We organize quotations and flag differences in scope, exclusions and clarifications so your team can review them.
Do you provide construction takeoffs and estimates?
Yes. Quantity takeoffs and estimating are available separately through our Construction Estimating service.
Do you prepare the final bid submission?
Bid package preparation and compliance reviews are available through our separate Bid Preparation & Compliance service.
How is the service priced?
Pricing depends on the number of trades and whether we're coordinating your existing contacts, sourcing new bidders or both. We'll confirm the scope and fee before starting.
Support for the rest of the project
Need takeoffs before pricing or purchasing support after award? Mapleheart offers these services separately, too.
Need an extra hand with your next bid?
