Bid leveling software for general contractors
Compare subcontractor bids on equal terms. Korus helps you see scope gaps, exclusions and price differences across every trade before you award.
- Compare bids side by side
- Spot exclusions before award
- Level every trade
The lowest bid is not always the lowest cost
Bid leveling means making subcontractor bids comparable. One bid includes fire caulking, another leaves it out and a third is unclear about patch-back. Comparing only the totals hides those differences.
Leveling by hand across PDFs and spreadsheets is slow and easy to get wrong. Korus is built to compare the bids and flag what is missing, so your team can spend its time on the decision.
What Korus gives your team
Side-by-side bid comparison
Compare subcontractor bids next to each other instead of switching between PDFs and spreadsheets.
Exclusion detection
Find the items a subcontractor left out of their bid so you can price them or ask about them.
Missing work and risk flags
Korus finds missing work, exclusions and risks so unclear scope does not slip through to award.
Checked against your plans
Korus can read scope from your plans, so bids are reviewed against the work the project actually needs.
Bid packages and quote follow-up
Send bid packages, track vendor emails and remind vendors to submit quotes, so every trade has a bid to level.

Frequently asked questions
What is bid leveling?
Bid leveling is the process of adjusting and comparing subcontractor bids so they cover the same scope. It lets a general contractor compare like with like, instead of comparing totals that include different work.
Why not just compare bid totals?
Totals hide differences in scope. A lower bid may exclude work that another bidder included, which can come back later as a change order or a budget miss.
Can Korus compare bids from different subcontractors?
Yes. Korus compares subcontractor bids side by side and flags missing work, exclusions and risks.
Does AI replace the estimator's judgment?
No. Korus flags gaps and risks so your estimator can resolve them. The decision about who to award stays with your team.
