Construction Estimating Software
Reviews and Ratings

Construction estimating software is often part of construction software solutions, either as an add-on module or as an integrated third party solution. Estimating software in a construction business provides the ability to generate an estimate, or bid, for a job and establish an initial budget. Estimating software will often provide customized databases for different construction specialties, such as general contraction vs. electrical contracting.

Although many construction companies are still using Microsoft Excel for estimating, an estimating solution provides more detail for greater accuracy of estimates. Features such as user-defined assemblies, multiple price points and automated calculations provide greater efficiencies when producing estimates. And when estimating is integrated with construction accounting software, job detail can be automatically transferred from estimating to accounting for instant setup.
