Add a filter that shows only projects closing today and tomorrow on the All Open Tenders table
That way I do not miss out on pricing for a Builder who is pricing a project that multiple Builders are pricing, some of whom have a much later closing date.
4 votesHi Guy,
We now have filtering available on both the open and awarded tender pages, so you can sort projects and find those closing dates.
We’d love to hear from you if you are finding these filters helpful, or have any further suggestions. Thank you! -
Being able to still access PDF files on jobs that have been awarded
On some instances we may need to review the PDF files (if not saved on the computer) after the job has been awarded. Currently once it has been awarded all files disappear.
2 votesThe documents request function is still active on awarded tenders. If you’re having issues with it still, please let us know and we’ll investigate further.

Fix closing date confusion
- e.g. tenders list shows "today", open the tender & the closing date shows "tomorrow". Suggest keep the date field (unambiguous) and use color code e.g. yellow = this week & red = today
5 votesThis should now be fixed and display correctly.
You may find instances where the tenderboard shows “Today” but the project details popup says “Tomorrow”, due to different builders having different closing dates.
Please let us know if there’s any other display issues with this!

Allow me to nominate a preferred project type as well as a trade
So that we can nominate the kinds of projects we are interested in and we can have these projects suggested to us when a Builders add them to our account.
An example of this would be that I am only interested in projects over 5 million dollars within 100km from my office in any "Category". If you could email me any project that meets these criteria as they are added to EstimateOne that would be a huge timesaver.
2 votesHi Anthony,
We now have filters on the open and awarded tenders page, so you can filter projects based on project type.
Hope this helps you find exactly what you’re looking for, but we’d love to hear from you if it still doesn’t suit your needs. -
Add a "Send Quote" feature that allows me to send a quote to all Builders on the project
I would like a way to send my PDF quote to all Builders who are tendering a project within the EstimateOne application. It would also be good if I could be prompted to send my quote to any new Builders who were not on the project when I sent my quote.
53 votesYou can now send quotes through EstimateOne! You can choose whether to send it to one or all builders, and even see when it’s been accessed by the builder at the other end. Neat!

User only information
Within companies you have multiple users - I would only like to see my own project information tender docs and track my own projects. Receiving project updates etc
2 votesWe’ve made managing team work simpler.
On the invites & requests page, you can apply a filter to view only projects you’ve been invited to or downloaded documents on.

Consider a project’s due date as the earliest due date set by any one of the tenderers.
Currently when sorting by “Due Date” on the noticeboard a project appears as closing on the latest date set by a tendering contractor. Changing this to the earliest date will prevent us from missing opportunities to quote for Builders as all tenderers will be open to receiving pricing. Sometimes I find tenders that are open for one Builder but have closed for all the other tenderers.
12 votesFilters have now been added to the open and awarded tenders page, so you can now sort and filter in however many different ways you require.
Specifically regarding this query – projects will remain sorting by the latest close date by a builder. This is because one or two builders may be invited back to post-tender, and extend their deadline. If we sort by earliest builder, then these projects will disappear for other subbies.
Please let us know if there’s any further improvements you can think of, thank you for you suggestion.

Links within 'Watchlist Update' emails should point towards the specific project
It would help me save time if the links were specific to each project, rather than being taken to the Tenders Tab and having to search for the project
4 votesThanks again for pointing this out! From now on the links in your watchlist emails will point you straight to the project – so you don’t have to waste time searching for it.

Implement a Project ID Number
It is becoming increasingly difficult to search projects due to the increasing number of projects with similar names. A Project ID Number would significantly improve our ability to search for a specific project.
13 votesWe are pleased to announce tenders now have an ID number for quick reference. You can also search for tenders using this ID number. Thanks again for the suggestion – keep them coming!

I want to receive Watchlist updates for tenders I have added to the Watchlist only
Tenders added to the Watchlist by my colleagues are not relevant to me so updates are not necessary
8 votesYou can now manage your email notifications so that you are only notified of projects that you yourself added to the watchlist.
Head to your settings tab and change “Watchlist Update” projects dropdown to “Watched by me”

Include project budgets when looking at projects by builder.
When filtering projects by builder, once you click on a specific builder to view their projects, the budget information is not listed.
1 voteWe have now added project budgets back into the Address Book. Please let us know if there are any issues!

Include a date in the main screen applicable to Awarded Tenders
Awarded Tenders/Projects - need to have a date included in the AWARDED block for a quick visual reference, rather than having to open a file and drill down to the History area
1 voteThe awarded tenders tab now shows the date the project was awarded, so you can filter and sort this as you desire. Happy searching!

Do NOT add project to my WATCHLIST when downloading drawings
When looking at drawings to see if it's a job I'm interested in, it gets added automatically to my watchlist.
Adding projects to the watchilst should be a manual choice.4 votesProjects are no longer automatically added to your watchlist when you download the documents.

Job Maps could be updated showing a correct location of sites
Correct map location of job sites
2 votesThe map package has recently been updated to increase its accuracy. There may still be times where the pin is placed on a suburb instead of an actual address. This is often due to the builder not inputting the full address, or spelling it incorrectly. We’ll work on making this even better in the future.

Add a way to allow Subbies to preview the tender documentation prior to requesting a package
This would be a great way of allowing Subbies to get an idea of the size and scope of the job without requiring the Builder to manually enter any information about the tender.
41 votesWe’re excited to announce this new feature is available! Within your EstimateOne account you can now preview documents prior to having to download the package files. Better still, you can search the entire package for keywords to help you zero in on the relevant documents. Thanks again for this awesome suggestion, we hope it makes life easier!
Here is the link to the knowledge base article for more detail (http://support.estimateone.com/knowledgebase/articles/945403-how-do-i-preview-documents).

Sort newly added projects by date added, not description
Newly added project list is sorted by name. New projects can be buried at end of list. List should be sorted by date added.
16 votesWe’re pleased to announce you’re now able to sort projects by the date they were added to EstimateOne. New projects getting buried in an alphabetical list is now a thing of the past. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Notifications
When documents are requested, please only send notification to the person who requested it. Sending notifications all around the office ends up with the incorrect person working on the tender.
2 votesGreat feedback. Only the user who requested project documents will now be notified when documents have been made available.
