Most franchisors hand buildouts to their franchisees and get the cost back as an estimate, if at all. Outbidd puts every location's budget, bids, and final cost in one place, visible to you, so your Item 7 range comes from real data instead of guesses.

Real numbers for FDD item 7
Actual buildout costs across every location in the system, from budget through final change order, ready when the FDD is due.
You see everything. They see theirs.
Franchisors get system-wide visibility across every location and every build out. Each franchisee sees only their own locations.
Your prototype, enforced
Templates carry your cost codes and bid forms into every franchisee's project, so every location is bid and tracked the same way.
We can run the process for you
Onboarding for every new franchisee, plus an optional team that keeps the data clean so the reporting actually holds up.

Item 7 is only as good as the cost information coming back from the field. When every franchisee budgets, bids, and tracks their buildout in the same system, the range you publish is built from actual line item data across the whole system, and you can defend every number in it.
Franchisees do not want others in their business, and corporate cannot report on what it cannot see. Outbidd solves both with permissions. You see every location in the system. Each franchisee sees only theirs.

The most common objection we hear is that franchisees will not keep the platform current. Fair. So we offer to handle it. Outbidd provides onboarding and training for every franchisee joining the system, and for groups that want it, our team manages the data entry and keeps each location organized.
Outbidd revolutionized the way we manage our bid analysis process. From standardizing contractor submissions to organizing all our RFIs and Documents, it's been a game changer for our preconstruction team productivity. We can't imagine going back to our old spreadsheet systems.
Clients have reported an 85% reduction in time spent processing and analyzing bids.
Preconstruction teams have seen a 95% decrease in data entry errors and inconsistencies.
Construction managers have experienced a 60% reduction in overall bidding process costs.
How Outbidd can benefit your business, understanding its features
Item 7 is only as good as the cost information coming back from your locations. When every franchisee budgets, bids, and tracks their buildout in the same system, your range is built from real line item data across the system instead of a survey of what people remember spending. You can see the actual low end and the actual high end, explain what drives the spread between them, and point to the projects behind every number. Your franchise counsel still owns the disclosure. Outbidd gives them something defensible to work from.
You see everything: every location, every bid package, every budget, across the whole system. Each franchisee sees only their own locations. You get to report across the system without being in your franchisees' business day to day, and they get a tool that is actually useful to them instead of one more corporate reporting obligation
This is the most common thing we hear, and it is fair. Two answers. First, the data lands as a byproduct of work the franchisee already has to do, because the bids come in through the platform and the change orders get submitted through it. Second, if you want certainty rather than hope, we can handle it. We onboard and train each franchisee as they come onto the platform, and for groups that want it, our team manages the data entry and keeps every location organized. It is an add-on service, sized to how much you want us carrying.
We actively work with both. Some franchisors buy the system and provide access as part of joining, which drives adoption and gives corporate complete visibility from day one. Others have much more sufficated franchisees that carry their own access. We will work the structure out with you, including onboarding for each new franchisee as they come in.
