You worked a 12-hour day on a flood job. Now you're at the kitchen table at 11pm rebuilding a scope of work from scratch because every loss is different — water, fire, mold, smoke. BidCycle is a $25/month Xactimate alternative — quoting and invoicing built for two-man shops who can't justify a software bill bigger than their truck payment.
Build your first Restoration quote free — no credit card required"Xactimate costs more per month than my truck payment and I'm a two-man shop."
"Adjusters kick back my estimates because the line items don't match what they expect to see."
"I'm losing whole evenings building quotes after I've already worked a 12-hour day on a flood job."
Restoration estimating software that speaks adjuster. Save your standard scope of work templates once — water mit, pack-out, structural drying, content cleaning — and stop rebuilding from zero every Cat loss.
Drop in affected square footage, BidCycle calculates the extraction line. Matches how the adjuster reads the scope.
Track billable hours on equipment by day and unit. No more counting fans on a napkin when the supplement comes due.
LGR day rate locked in per unit. Pull moisture logs into the invoice so the adjuster sees structural drying was justified.
Square-foot pricing for antimicrobial application, tied to IICRC standards so it doesn't get kicked back.
Pack-out by the box or by the room, monthly storage billed automatically until release. Stop chasing storage fees.
Linear foot pricing for flood cuts plus disposal. Pre-built line items the adjuster has seen a thousand times.
Day rate per scrubber, automatic when containment is on the job. Critical for mold and fire jobs.
Poly and zipper door containment as its own line item — labor and materials separated the way carriers want it.
Homeowner signs the scope from their phone. No app, no login, no excuses. Sits in your dashboard as approved.
Approved scope becomes the invoice. Supplements added inline as the job grows. Insurance pays slow — at least the paperwork won't.
Every invoice flows to QuickBooks. Track what's approved, what's pending, what got denied without a spreadsheet.
Flat $25/month. No per-seat fees. No certification gate.
Build your first Restoration quote free"I was up till 1am rebuilding the same water mit scope every job. Now I clone the last loss, swap the square footage and the LGR count, and the supplement goes out before I leave the site. Adjuster hasn't kicked one back yet."— Mike, Restoration contractor
Yes. You can quote water extraction per square foot, air mover rental per day, and LGR dehumidifier per day with line items that match how adjusters expect to see the scope of work. Save your standard drying setups as templates so you're not rebuilding every job from scratch.
One click. Approved quote becomes an invoice with all the billable hours on equipment, antimicrobial application, and pack-out line items already in place. Supplements get added as you go and synced to QuickBooks.
It's built for two-man and small shops who can't justify Xactimate's monthly cost. Flat $25/month, no per-seat fees, no certification gate. You write a scope of work an adjuster can read and get paid faster.
