Vertical Projects

Bid management software built for how you bid & build

By contractors, for contractors — track pursuits, generate proposals, and manage bids from first invite through closeout.

About Us

By Contractors,
For Contractors

Vertical Projects is a product of Vertical Construction Software Inc. — built by an electrical contractor with 20 years of experience who knows how frustrating it is to track bid invites in one tool, manage projects in another, and still keep the field and office aligned.

We set out to build one platform that follows every job from the first bid invite through final closeout — so estimators, project managers, and field crews always work from the same picture. Learn about our full product roadmap.

Bid to Build Continuity

Carry your work forward without re-entering data. Vertical Projects connects bid pursuit and project execution in one platform.

Works on Any Device

From the estimating desk to the jobsite trailer, manage bids and projects on desktop, tablet, or phone.

Built for Pursuit & Execution

Purpose-built for estimators chasing work and project managers delivering it — not generic software adapted for construction.

Real-Time Visibility

Know where your bids stand, what's due next, and how your projects are tracking — all in one place.

Module 1Launching First

Bid Management Software

Winning work is the foundation of every successful contracting business. Vertical Projects is bid management software designed around the way estimators and project managers actually pursue projects — not the way software developers think they should.

From the first invite to bid, through sub collection and scope leveling, to proposal generation and distribution — manage your entire pursuit process in one purpose-built platform. Learn more about our bid management software.

Project Management

Once you win the work, Vertical Projects keeps the momentum going. The Project Management Module picks up right where bid management leaves off — carrying your projects from award through final closeout.

No re-entering data. No switching platforms. Your project information flows directly from the bid into execution, so your team can hit the ground running from day one.

Sign up for early access and be the first to know when Project Management launches.

Schedule & Milestone Tracking

Build and manage your project schedule with clear milestones, predecessor relationships, and real-time progress updates. Keep owners, subs, and your team aligned.

Daily Logs & Field Reports

Log daily site conditions, crew counts, equipment on site, weather, and progress notes from any device. Build a documented project record that protects you.

RFI Management

Create, track, and close RFIs with full audit trails. Assign due dates, route to the right contacts, and make sure design questions never hold up your field crew.

Submittal Management

Manage the full submittal log from required submittals through review and approval. Track ball-in-court status so you always know what's waiting on whom.

Budget & Cost Tracking

Track budgets by cost code, log actual costs against estimates, and get early warning when items are trending over. Know your job cost position at all times.

Subcontractor Coordination

Manage subcontract execution, track insurance and compliance, coordinate schedules, and document communications — all tied directly to the project they belong to.

Document & Drawing Control

Store, version, and distribute project drawings and documents in one place. Field crews always have the current set — no more working off outdated plans.

Owner Reporting

Generate clean, professional status reports for owners and stakeholders with real project data — schedule updates, cost summaries, open items, and photos.
