CYBEX Construction & Engineering
Construction Estimating & Tender Management Software
For construction and engineering teams in the UK, USA, EU and Australia.
CYBEX helps contractors, house builders, engineering consultancies and specialist subcontractors manage opportunities, take-offs, rates, subcontractor enquiries and tender submissions.
A controlled workflow for complex projects
Construction Estimating & Tender Management System for Construction & Engineering is designed for project environments where information changes quickly and decisions need clear ownership. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets, email attachments and isolated records with a permission-based process for office, site and management users.
CYBEX can pilot the solution on one representative project before extending it across teams, regions or a wider portfolio.
What improves in your working day
A clear starting point
Track bid opportunities, submission dates and assigned owners.
Fewer missed handoffs
Keep the next task and its supporting information visible, with reminders matched to your workflow.
Control over project work
Review important changes before release and retain a traceable record of approved outcomes.
Avoid version gaps between quantities, rates and supplier bids
A revised drawing may change quantities after a subcontractor has priced an earlier issue. If the estimate, clarification log and quotation remain separate, the final bid can carry mismatched scope. A configured tender register links each package to its current documents and marks items that still need review.
Illustrative package comparison: for an electrical package, compare each bidder against the same quantities, installation scope, exclusions and quote validity date. A low headline price should remain flagged if testing or commissioning is excluded. The estimator approves the adjustment; the system retains the original quote and the comparison basis.
Core features
- Opportunity pipeline: Track tender opportunities and the next decision or submission date.
- Cost libraries: Maintain reviewed rate and cost references for estimating.
- Take-off records: Link quantities to their take-off records and supporting information.
- Supplier enquiries: Issue structured enquiries to the selected suppliers or subcontractors.
- Bid comparisons: Compare responses against the same scope and commercial assumptions.
- Risk and assumptions: Record tender risks, exclusions and items requiring clarification.
- Approval gates: Require the appropriate approval before a bid is submitted.
- Tender performance: Review tender outcomes and recorded estimating assumptions.

Tender pipeline
Track bid opportunities, submission dates and assigned owners.
Estimate review
Compare take-offs, rates and supplier responses.
Bid approval
Record assumptions and approvals before issuing the tender.
Construction tender workflow: enquiry to approved bid
- Register the opportunity: record the client, project, submission deadline, estimator and bid/no-bid decision.
- Control the scope: attach the approved drawing and specification revisions, bill of quantities and clarification log.
- Build the estimate: record quantities, units, rates, labour, materials, subcontract allowances and source dates.
- Compare quotations: align supplier responses to the same package and highlight exclusions, provisional items and different assumptions.
- Approve the commercial position: review overheads, contingency, margin, qualifications and submission authority.
- Issue and learn: retain the submitted version and award outcome, then hand the approved budget and assumptions to delivery.
Estimating data, imports and delivery handover
Discovery starts with a sample estimate, bill of quantities, supplier quotation and submitted tender. Agree identifiers for projects, packages, suppliers, revisions, units and currencies before importing spreadsheets or connecting systems.
Potential interfaces include existing estimating, document-management, accounting and procurement platforms. Availability depends on vendor APIs, licences and access. Automated drawing measurement is not assumed: take-off imports and any specialist measurement integration are separately scoped and tested.
The handover should preserve the approved budget, exclusions, supplier assumptions and document versions. Explore the related subcontractor and procurement portal for work after tender award.
Security, safety and responsible AI
Recommended controls include least-privilege access, strong authentication, encryption, backups, activity logs, retention rules and project-specific information boundaries. Commercially sensitive, personal and security-related site information requires controlled sharing.
Software can support documented controls and evidence, while duty holders remain responsible for professional, contractual and legal obligations.
Implementation approach
- Project and workflow discovery
- Role, information and risk mapping
- Representative project prototype
- Configuration and controlled migration
- Revision, approval, security and recovery testing
- Training and phased launch
- Outcome and adoption review
A focused pilot may take six to twelve weeks. Multi-project or integration-heavy programmes may require several months.
Indicative GBP pricing
- Focused pilot: £3,800–£11,500.
- Integrated implementation: £11,500–£34,000.
- Multi-project programme: £34,000–£90,000+.
- Managed support: £375–£3,000+ per month.
Final pricing depends on projects, users, integrations, migration, mobile requirements and support.
Frequently asked questions
Can we keep our existing estimating spreadsheets?
A pilot can start with agreed spreadsheet imports and exports. We first map units, rates, formulas, revisions and ownership; the acceptance check compares imported totals with the approved source estimate.
Can we pilot it on one project?
Yes. A representative project can validate workflows and responsibilities.
Can site teams use mobile devices?
Yes, with role-based access and appropriate connectivity controls.
How do we test the tender system before rollout?
Use a completed tender with known quantities and approved totals. Test quote comparisons, revision changes, approval permissions and export outputs, then reconcile the results with the source documents before a live bid is processed.
How long does implementation take?
A focused pilot may take six to twelve weeks.
Does the solution guarantee compliance?
No. It can support controls and evidence; the organisation retains its duties.
Is the interface shown a live product screenshot?
It is an illustrative concept. Final screens, integrations and acceptance checks are agreed during discovery.
Can you support clients in different countries?
Delivery can be scoped for the UK, USA, EU and Australia, with hosting, working hours and regional requirements considered during discovery.
Are software subscriptions included?
The proposal identifies implementation, managed support and any separate third-party licences or usage charges.
How do I request a quotation?
Use the email or WhatsApp option below with your project portfolio, current systems and priority workflow. The email button opens a draft for you to review and send.
Remote delivery across the UK, USA, EU and Australia
Scope the rollout around your client commitments, current tools and working hours. Hosting, language, regional requirements and support arrangements are confirmed before implementation.
