TurboBid is a specialized electrical and plumbing estimating software company that focuses on providing solutions for residential and light commercial contractors. The software is designed to streamline the estimating process, improve accuracy, and help contractors win more profitable jobs.
TurboBid was founded before September 11, 2001, by a group of electrical contractors who recognized the need for more accurate estimating in a challenging economic environment. The company grew out of their own need for a systematic approach to identify and account for all costs in their projects. After developing the software for their own use and experiencing success with it, they decided to create a marketable version to help other contractors.
