Planroom review
Focused bid management with project tools and transparent monthly pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Planroom is construction document and bid management software for general contractors and subcontractors, with a focus on connecting bidding activity to the broader project record. Teams can invite bidders by trade, attach scopes and documents, track bidding responses, monitor coverage, collect proposals, compare bids, and carry award information into project records. It is aimed at small and mid-size construction businesses that want bidding and project workflows in one product.
Planroom uses a straightforward paid model: one plan costs $149 USD per month. The Planroom plan includes all six modules, unlimited projects, unlimited users, and unlimited bid packages and invitations to bid. It also includes coverage tracking, bid comparison, and addenda distribution with logging. This structure is easy to evaluate for teams that prefer a single published price rather than separate feature tiers, though it provides less choice for organizations seeking a lower-cost entry plan or different packages by team size.
Its standout strength is the depth of the bid workflow. Version-controlled documents, addenda, proposal attachments and timestamps, side-by-side comparisons with inclusions and exclusions, and bidder status tracking support a more organized review process. Downstream tools extend into document management, change orders, daily reports, submittals, and RFIs, giving teams a wider project workflow after award. Planroom is a good fit for construction teams prioritizing focused bidding and connected project records. Teams requiring mobile access, a free starting option, or more flexible plan packaging should consider alternatives.
