Prime Bid is a tool specifically designed by general contractors to optimize results on bid day to produce the best and lowest number-your right number. The stress of the last 20 minutes of bid day is released by using Prime Bid to close a bid by simply pressing a few buttons and reading the answers off of the screen.
