Construction Bidding & Job-Costing SaaS
A full rebuild of a construction bidding and job-costing SaaS — modern interface, cleaner workflows, better performance, and a new digital takeoff feature.
-
I Brief A capable product that had aged badly
ProfitDig already had a working system, but it had grown outdated — and for a bidding platform that hurts, because contractors need to build estimates quickly and accurately. A slow or confusing workflow directly changes how (and whether) they use the product.
- Old interface and confusing, friction-prone workflows
- Outdated product structure and performance issues
- Workflows that invited user mistakes
- An ongoing need for maintenance and product improvement
-
II Build What we built
We rebuilt the system with a modern, intuitive UI, improved workflows, new features, better performance, and ongoing maintenance — without losing the depth contractors need for estimating, bidding, and job costing.
- Full system rebuild with a modern UI/UX
- Improved bidding and job-costing workflows
- Performance optimization across the SaaS
- New feature development and ongoing maintenance
- A new digital takeoff feature
-
III Highlight The digital takeoff
The digital takeoff was the most complex piece. In construction, takeoff means working with plans, measurements, quantities, materials, and cost calculations — so building it digitally meant supporting accuracy, usability, and speed at once. It moved the platform beyond basic estimating screens and closer to the real-world process contractors use before they bid.

IV Outcome A stronger product, and a partnership
Across a multi-year partnership we shipped two major revisions and modernized an aging SaaS. When the work was done, ProfitDig was confident enough to bring development back in-house on a modern Laravel and React stack — a clean handover that’s its own kind of success.
- Modernized, more intuitive product experience
- Cleaner workflows and better platform performance
- Easier bidding and job-costing for contractors
- Advanced digital takeoff capability added
- A multi-year partnership across two major product revisions
The application is now new, modern — Laravel + React, hosted in Laravel Cloud — fast, and more feature rich. We’re happy with the support and productivity we’ve received… Recommended to others.
