How HIFIG TECHNOLOGIES works
Multiple tools, one platform. Find Canadian contracts to bid on, price the job, write the proposal, then run it — pipeline, tasks, calendar and documents in one place.
Find contracts to bid on
Search thousands of Canadian government and commercial tenders, ranked by AI so you chase the right ones.
1. Search Canadian tenders
Enter a keyword — like 'plumbing renovation' or 'HVAC maintenance' — and pick your province and trade. HiFig Technologies AI searches thousands of federal, provincial, municipal, and commercial tender sources across Canada in seconds.
2. Filter & rank by opportunity
Sort results by AI opportunity score, bid rating, deadline, or estimated value. Filter by tender level, province, and trade category so you only see contracts worth your time.
3. Save & prioritize
Bookmark the tenders you want to pursue and set a priority — high, medium, or low. They land on your dashboard, organized and ready for action.
4. Get alerts
Turn on tender alerts and we'll email you every morning when new contracts match your trade and province — so you never miss a deadline. Tender alerts are included from the Professional plan up.
Why contractors trust the finder
Nationwide coverage
Federal, provincial, municipal, and private commercial tenders across every Canadian province and territory.
AI opportunity scores
Every tender is scored on winnability and value so you can focus on the contracts most likely to pay off.
Updated daily
Fresh opportunities pulled continuously — never stale listings or expired deadlines.
Set it & forget it
Daily email alerts matched to your trade and province land in your inbox every morning — included from the Professional plan up.
Write proposals that win
Found a tender you like? HiFig Technologies AI turns a quick chat into a complete, professional bid proposal.
1. Tell us about the job
Open the Bid Writer and answer a few quick questions: your trade, what you're bidding on, location, timeline, crew size, hourly rate, materials estimate, and anything special. No forms — just talk.
2. We write the bid
HiFig Technologies AI matches your trade to the right template and generates a complete proposal: cover letter, scope of work, materials breakdown, labor estimate, line-item pricing, timeline with milestones, and terms — all with 15% overhead built in.
3. Send it & win
Download your proposal as a professional PDF and email it to the client. Need a change? Just ask in the chat — 'push the timeline to 4 weeks' or 'add a permit clause' — and HiFig Technologies updates it instantly.
Why contractors love the bid maker
Trade-specific templates
Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, painting, insulation, coatings, and more — each with the right scope sections, materials, and terms.
Accurate pricing
Materials + labor + permits + 15% overhead, broken down in clean line-item tables your client can trust.
Professional & private
Proposals look like they were written by a pro. Your data stays yours — never shared with other contractors.
Unlimited revisions
Tweak any detail in plain English until it's exactly right. No starting over, no reformatting.
Every tool the job needs
Start where you like and add the rest as you go. The tools share the same job, so nothing gets entered twice.
Plus addenda monitoring, tender change alerts, notifications, contacts and documents.
Run the job, not just the bid
Every win becomes a project you move through the stages, with the tender, bid, tasks, numbers and paperwork attached to it.
1. Turn a win into a project
Add a saved tender to your pipeline in one tap and its deadline, buyer, value and documents come with it. Walk-ins, referrals and repeat customers start as a project you type in yourself.
2. Move it through the stages
Prospect, Reviewing, Preparing Bid, Submitted, Awaiting Decision, Won — drag the card across the board or change the status in the list. Every change is stamped with its date.
3. Everything hangs off the job
Open a project and you get one hub: its tender, its bid, its tasks, its calendar, its material estimates, its blueprints, documents, contacts and a running timeline.
Every job, one place
Board or list
Drag jobs between stages on the pipeline board, or work in the table when you want the numbers side by side.
Details carry over
Deadline, buyer, tender level, location and documents come across from the saved tender, so nothing is typed twice.
Won and lost, recorded
Close a job out with the date it ended, so your pipeline reflects reality and your win rate is knowable.
A timeline per job
Status changes, bids, tasks and documents are logged as they happen, so you can see what moved and when.
Keep every next step moving
A working task list and a real calendar for the business, so a deadline never sneaks up on you.
1. Capture the work
Log a task with a due date, a priority and a category — bid, tender, follow-up, scheduling or documentation — and attach it to the project, tender or bid it belongs to.
2. Let HiFig draft the list
Ask for a task list on a saved tender or project and HiFig proposes the steps: site visit, documents to gather, pricing, review, submission. Keep what you want, delete the rest. Included from the Growth plan up.
3. See it on a calendar
Tasks, tender deadlines, bid deadlines, meetings and project dates land on one calendar in day, week or month view — included from the Starter plan up.
Built for busy weeks
A daily reminder
Each morning HiFig emails what's overdue, what's due today and what's coming up, along with the events on your calendar.
Overdue first
Past-due work is grouped at the top and flagged, so a missed step shows up before it turns into a missed deadline.
Day, week or month
Plan a week or scan a month in one view, and open any event for its details and the job it belongs to.
Filter and focus
Filter by status, category and priority to see exactly what's left on today's list.
Price the job on real numbers
Ten trade calculators that do the takeoff for you — quantities, waste and order lists, free on every plan.
1. Pick your trade's calculator
Framing, drywall, roofing, concrete, siding, flooring, painting, insulation, decking and fencing — each built the way that trade actually buys material.
2. Enter the measurements
Room sizes, wall heights, roof pitch, joist spacing, waste percentage. Adjust the assumptions — sheet size, coverage per bag or bundle, stock lengths — so the numbers match your suppliers.
3. Get an order list
Calculated quantity, waste-adjusted quantity and a recommended order quantity per material, with the formula shown so you can check the math yourself.
Why contractors trust the numbers
Waste, handled once
Set the waste allowance on the estimate and it's applied to every wasteable material in one pass.
Imperial or metric
Choose the unit system per estimate and the results stay in the one you entered.
Saved to the job
Save an estimate, keep it against the project, and export a PDF for the file or the client.
Exact and free
No credits and no AI guesswork: the math is fixed, reproducible, and free on every plan.
Let HiFig read the plans
Upload the drawings and specs and HiFig pulls out the numbers, then you confirm them before they're used. Included from the Starter plan up.
1. Upload the plan
Drop in a drawing set or a spec PDF. It's stored privately, opened with a short-lived link, and only ever for your account.
2. HiFig reads it
You get the document type, a plain-English summary, the scope items, the materials, and the details the plan leaves out — every reading tagged with the sheet it came from.
3. You verify before it counts
Confirm the readings that are right, reject the ones that aren't. Only verified numbers can be sent into a material calculator or pulled into a bid.
What a verified reading gives you
Ask the plan questions
Chat with the analysis — "what insulation spec does this call for?" Asking about an analysis you've already run doesn't use another one.
Every reading keeps its source
Each value remembers the sheet or page it came from, so you can check it against the drawing in seconds.
Kept with the job
Attach a blueprint to its project so the readings sit beside the bid, the tasks and the estimates.
Plans, specs and addenda
The same reading works on tender documents, so the requirements you price against are the ones actually in the file.
