Self Bid, for stores that sell installed work
Estimates from a phone video.
Your customer films the room. You review and send a priced estimate, same day.
How it works
Three steps, and only the last one is yours.
The customer films
They open a page on your website and film from their own phone.
The screen tells them where to point and what to say.
The video is measured
Sizes come from things of known size in the footage: doors, tile, a tape.
Then a draft is priced from your rates.
You review and send
Watch the video and read the draft. Every size shows where it came from.
Talk your corrections into it and run it again. Then send it under your name.
What you get
A page on your site, and the desk behind it.
- Your Self Bid page
At your own address, in your colors and name. It works on any phone.
- Estimates priced from your rates
Your product prices and install rates go in before the first estimate. Every figure shows where it came from.
- The review desk
Every submission and what happened to it. Line edits, a spoken remark that re-runs the estimate, and Send.
- Your records
Video, photos, transcript and every estimate, kept 2 years per job. Yours to download or delete.

Who it is for
Stores that sell installed work.
Flooring stores
Floors are areas. The video reads the room off doors, tile and planks, then prices by the square foot.
Garage door dealers
Doors come in standard sizes. The video reads 8, 9, 16 and 18 foot openings, then prices your doors and openers.
Painters next, then remodelers.
Questions
- Do I need a price book?
- No. With your price book loaded, the pricing is as accurate as it gets.
- Without one, setup builds your rates with you.
- How long does setup take?
- About two weeks. Most of that is loading and checking your rates with you.
- Who is responsible for the estimate?
- You are. It goes out under your name, and the desk flags anything it could not measure.
- What happens on the demo?
- 30 minutes on a video call. We film a room, run the estimate and show you the review desk.
