FAQ

Questions subs ask us.

Short, direct answers. Don't see yours? Ask on a discovery call.

The basics

What is Vorbi?

Vorbi is back-office software and a proven workflow for US commercial and multifamily trade subcontractors. It covers takeoff, bid documents, supplier ordering, deliveries and installation tracking in one system.

Which trades does Vorbi support?

Flooring, tile, trim and doors, and cabinetry. Doors and hardware sets are next. Each company starts from a trade template and is tuned to its scopes, suppliers and rates.

Who is Vorbi for?

Local and regional subcontractors installing on multifamily and commercial buildings who want to bid more work without adding estimators and project managers.

Where is Vorbi available?

Vorbi works with subcontractors across the United States. Vorbi LLC is a US company.

Takeoff and accuracy

How accurate are the takeoffs?

The goal is accuracy at the level of a careful hand takeoff. Every quantity comes with a marked-up plan so your estimator can verify it, and the Guaranteed Takeoff & Estimate comes with an accuracy guarantee.

What do I need to send?

The drawing set, specs and any schedules (finish, door, hardware). The more complete the set, the fewer questions for the GC.

What if the plans and specs disagree?

Vorbi flags mismatches between plans and specs before your number goes out and drafts follow-up questions for the GC.

Ownership, data and security

Do I own the software or rent it?

You subscribe. Vorbi hosts and maintains the system; you get your own private workspace configured to your company. You never manage code or servers.

Who can see my plans and bid numbers?

Only your team and the Vorbi staff supporting your account. Each company has its own separate workspace and data, never shared with other customers.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Bids, quantities and project data can be exported, for example to Excel and PDF.

Getting started

How do I start?

Book a discovery call. We map how you bid, buy and install today, then recommend a starting point, often a guaranteed takeoff on one live bid.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on your trades, volume and how much you want done for you. We share it on the discovery call.

How long does setup take?

It depends on your trades and how much existing data we load (price sheets, open jobs, suppliers). We agree a timeline on the discovery call.
