BidLens

AI that analyzes contractor bids before you sign

BidLens launched on March 31, 2026.

What it does

Got a contractor bid and not sure if it's fair? BidLens analyzes it in 60 seconds — checking pricing against real regional benchmarks, flagging missing code requirements, detecting material substitution, and calculating the contractor's markup. Built after a $75,000 deck project taught me everything I wish I'd known upfront. Works for decks, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, fencing, and more. Free to start.

Got bids from contractors? BidLens scores every bid on pricing, building codes, material specs, and red flags. Know who to hire, who to negotiate with, and who to walk away from.

BidLens analyzes your contractor bids against building codes, real material pricing, and regional labor data — then tells you who's worth signing, who to negotiate with, and who to walk away from. No credit card. Works for decks, roofing, kitchens, fencing, siding, patios, and more. We ran 5 sample contractor bids through BidLens for a 450 sqft elevated deck rebuild. Here's the output. Best value at $65/sqft with proper structural specs, milestone payments, and Trex Pro Platinum certification — ready to sign. Tri-State's bid math reveals no legitimate contractor works for $10/hr. BidLens calculated this automatically. Industry standard is 10-33%. BidLens flags anything over 50% as critical…from bid-lens.com
