For estimators

Kill bad public RFPs before takeoff

RFPCheck is for the moment after you have the PDF — when you need a grounded GO / CAUTION / NO-GO before staffing a full estimate.

Protect estimating hours

Spend deep takeoff time only on GO and strong CAUTION jobs — not on solicitations your surety or license cannot support.

Surface killers early

Deadlines, bonding, liquidated damages, diversity goals, and prevailing-wage clauses often decide the chase before quantities matter.

Brief the owner fast

A one-page stoplight report is easier to forward than a 200-page IFB when you need a same-day yes/no.

Typical workflow

  1. Find the opportunity on your bid board or portal of choice.
  2. Download the solicitation PDF.
  3. Run it through RFPCheck (optional firm profile for trade/bonding fit).
  4. Chase GO / strong CAUTION; park or decline clear NO-GOs.

See how that differs from discovery tools: RFPCheck vs bid boards.
