Procore estimating software for Chicago paving contractors
Chicago's mix of high-rise, institutional, and industrial work keeps contractors bidding across a deep bench of Procore-running general contractors.
ProBidCore is the bid-management layer Chicago paving contractors have been hand-rolling in Excel for years. Estimate by SY, tonnage, and lift thickness across asphalt paving, concrete flatwork, parking lots, roadways, and site seal-coating, then push the winning numbers straight into the GC's Procore budget under Division 32 — no CSV reformatting, no double entry.

What Chicago paving contractors struggle with
With commercial office, institutional, and industrial work driving the Chicago pipeline, the bid pace is relentless. These are the bottlenecks ProBidCore removes.
Tonnage calculations change when the grade design changes
Update tonnage and lift thickness per line item and re-sync; Procore rows PATCH in place without duplicate budget entries.
Base course and surface course get bundled into one number
Split base, binder, and surface lifts into separate Division 32 lines so the Procore budget shows the full pavement section.
Milling and patching scope isn't in the paving spec
Track milling, patching, and crack sealing as their own WBS-coded lines so the GC's PM sees prep scope in Procore.
Built for the way Chicago paving contractors bid
Estimate the scope, connect Procore once, push the budget. Three steps, no spreadsheets.
Lift-by-lift estimates
Price base, binder, and surface courses separately in SY and tons, then push the full pavement scope to the Procore budget in one click.
Mix design and haul cost tracking
Store plant distance and mix design in line-item notes so the Procore budget documents the bid basis.
PATCH-safe quantity revisions
When civil drawings change grades and areas, update quantities and re-sync — Procore lines update in place.

FAQ
The questions Chicago paving contractors ask before signing up.
Does ProBidCore work for paving contractors in Chicago?
Yes. ProBidCore is built for paving contractors anywhere their GC runs Procore — including Chicago and the rest of the Midwest. You estimate by SY, tonnage, and lift thickness and push the result straight into the GC's Procore budget under Division 32.
Do I need my own Procore account to use ProBidCore in Chicago?
You authorize ProBidCore with your own Procore credentials, then select the GC's company and project during the sync. You need at minimum a Procore account with budget write access on the relevant Chicago project — most GCs grant this as part of sub onboarding.
How fast can a Chicago paving contractor get set up?
Under five minutes. Connect Procore once via OAuth 2.0, then reuse that connection on every future Chicago bid. Build or import your first estimate and push it to a real Procore project the same day.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. Build a real paving contractor estimate, push it to your Procore sandbox or a live Chicago project, and decide. Cancel anytime during the trial with no charge.
