Confused by your
contractor bids?
Upload 1–3 bids and your contract. We compare them, find the leaks, and translate it into plain English—with the questions you should ask and a safer draw schedule.
The Process
Three steps to bid clarity
Upload your bids
You upload 1–3 contractor bids and your contract or proposal. PDF, photos, and screenshots are all okay.
We analyze and compare
We normalize each bid into the same format, spot missing items and risky terms, and highlight budget leaks in simple language.
You get a clear report
We send you a Bid Clarity Report: side-by-side comparison, plain-English summary, questions to ask each contractor, and a safer draw/payment schedule tied to milestones.

About ClearViewBid
You deserve an expert in your corner
I'm a licensed general contractor with over 15 years of experience in residential and commercial construction. I've reviewed hundreds of bids and seen exactly how they go wrong—missing scope, vague allowances, risky payment terms, and hidden costs that show up mid-project. I started ClearViewBid because homeowners deserve the same expert eyes that developers and commercial owners pay for on every project.
"I had three bids that all looked different and I had no idea how to compare them. The Bid Clarity Report made it so obvious which one was actually the best value. Worth every penny."
"We were about to sign a contract that had a terrible draw schedule—we would have been paying 50% upfront. The report caught it and gave us the exact language to push back. Saved us thousands."
