Include the Builder's contact details in the Address Book table
Last week we logged in and were able to view all builders information including phone, fax and email detail.
We logged on today to find we're now having to drill into the builders name to view added detail and the information now appears to be buried.
I hope you can help. It would be great is we could see a report which includes all Builders name/ location/ phone/ fax and email address.
23 votesApologies for the delayed response. We have added the office phone back to the table so you can quickly contact builders. We will further investigate the ability to export builders into a report.

Is there any way I can sort awarded by budget, whilst filtering to show only projects that were awarded within the last # days/weeks/months?
It would be good if we could filter awarded work to show only projects awarded within a specific number of days, weeks or months.
We would still like to be able to sort the projects while the filters are applied.
3 votesHi Dev,
This is now available! You can find it in the ‘filters’ table above the tenders noticeboard. Happy searching. -
Bring back the 'View All' Awarded projects and go further than 3 months
Bring back the 'View All' feature for awarded projects, and show awarded projects up to at least a year. 3 months is not enough.
19 votesHi Brian,
Thanks for your feedback. I can imagine it’s frustrating being unable to see projects awarded more than 3 months ago. We have made a change and you can now see projects awarded many years ago. You can now also sort the Awarded projects by the date they were added which will allow you to find the most recently awarded projects in the market. Please let us know if this change doesn’t address your suggestion or if you have any other suggestions around finding awarded work.
Cheers,

Add the Ability to Sort projects by Project Closing Date.
It would be good if we could sort Project's by closing date. This feature was removed in the updates released on September 26th.

Provide a tenders Watchlist view that can be sorted by closing date or "tender close countdown days"
Implement by adding "Earliest Closing Date / Countdown" column which you could then "high/low" sort as with other columns

5 votesHi Paul,
Using the ‘filters’ table above the Tenders Noticeboard, you can now sort through projects, including showing only those with “Documents Available.” which should help with what your suggestions here. Happy searching. -
Add an I am Not Quoting option for projects I have downloaded.
I would like a way to mark myself as not quoting on projects I have downloaded from the Noticeboard.
Currently I have to call the Builder to let them know I'm not interested. It would save me time if I didn't have to call.
43 votesThanks again for the great suggestion! We have now introduced the ability to let a builder know whether you are intending to quote on a project from within your EstimateOne account. Hopefully it makes following up with builders a lot quicker for you!

Share Projects
When viewing Project invitations or Projects on the Noticeboard, it would be good to have an option that allows me to share the project with other Users at my company. This will allow me to better communicate with members of my Estimating team.
7 votesTo share projects within your team/company, simply add it to your Watchlist by marking the project as “Interested”. All users of a team share the same Watchlist.
If you find that adding to your watchlist doesn’t allow your other team members to see the project, please check to make sure that you are both on the same team account. Sometimes people mistakingly create a new team instead of joining an existing one.
If you’re not sure, get in touch with our support team, they’re always happy to help. -
Project Start and End Dates
Allow Builders to post the intended start and finish dates for the projects they list on the Noticeboard.

Exclude projects from being shown
Once a tender has been looked at by a member of my team, they should have the ability to hide this tender. Currently a tender may mention that it requires my trade, but it doesn't. It would be good to be able to hide tenders like this so that I do not have to view this tender again.
14 votesThanks for supporting this suggestion, we are excited to announce it’s available! Now you and your team can better collaborate on reviewing the projects on the noticeboard. Here are the links to the knowledge base articles for more details:

Filtering projects by category
We would like to be able to filter projects on the noticeboard by Project Category.
This would allow us to target projects of a specific category as not every single trade is used in all tenders.
Project categories should include:
- Retail
- Commercial
- Flats & Units
- Industrial
- Community
- Civil Engineering
- Hospitality
- Residential19 votesThanks for the suggestion, this is now available! Using the ‘filters’ table above the Tenders Noticeboard, you can now sort through projects, including showing only those within particular categories” Hope this helps you find exactly what you’re after. Happy searching.

View awarded projects on a map
I would like to be able to view awarded work on a map. This would be useful to view recently awarded projects in a certain area.
5 votesThanks for your patience. This feature is now available. When viewing the Awarded tenders tab, click on the “Map” button to view all awarded projects in the last 60 days on Google Maps.

Search for Projects by Location
I would like to be able to search for open and awarded projects in a particular suburb.
I would also like the ability to search within a specified proximity of that Suburb.
For example, I would like to see all Projects in Melbourne's CBD (projects in postcode 3000) OR within 10km of Brisbane's CBD (anything within 10km of postcode 4000).This will assist in finding the projects in the areas that I want to work.
6 votesThis is now available! We have filters that allow you to hone in various locations and a radius surrounding. Thank you for making this suggestion, happy searching.

Allow me to filter tenders based on things like budget, trade required, distance etc
This filter should be saved to my account so I don't have to re-enter it each time I login to EstimateOne. Specifically, I would want to filter based on distance, trades, category, date added (like last 24 hours etc), budget.
42 votesThere are lots of filters available on EstimateOne to help you sort through tenders, and your last used filter will now load when you bring up EstimateOne. You can save as many different filters as you like and apply them by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the filter name. Hope that helps!

Allow subcontractors to record statuses against tenders, like "Quoting", "Quoted" and "Negotiating".
This will allow me to better manage my quote pipeline, follow-up on quotes submitted, and track my win/loss rate.
24 votesThis feature is now available, you now have the ability to mark projects as quoting, or not quoting, throughout EstimateOne. Happy quoting!
