Biddy is marking 100 years of work behind public construction bids, tracing its roots to a Long Island blueprint shop that began reproducing architectural and engineering documents in 1926.
The medium has changed from paper sets and bound specifications to digital planrooms, but the responsibility has not: every bidder needs the same documents, every revision must reach the planholders, and the project team needs a record of what was distributed.
From blueprint shop to digital planroom
For decades, public bid-document distribution meant printing drawings, assembling specification books, recording pickups, and shipping revised sheets. Biddy brings that operating knowledge into a digital platform built around projects, planholders, bid documents, and addenda.
Contractors can obtain documents electronically or request printed sets when a project offers them. The project team sees who registered, which contracts they selected, and how the documents were delivered.
The same standard after a century
Public bidding depends on a shared record. Biddy carries that standard forward by keeping the bid set, planholder list, project communication, and distribution history together from advertisement through bid opening.
