A construction-estimation tool that reads BOQ PDFs, matches line items to PWD, LGED, and RHD schedules of rates, and exports priced estimates to Excel.

Why it surfaced

TentBid targets a specific, consequential workflow: turning messy government-tender documents into editable estimates without hours of retyping and rate hunting. Its homepage shows the whole pipeline—from PDF upload through item matching and calculation to an example ৳1,01,54,800 Excel estimate—alongside a searchable catalog of 15,594 priced items.
