What do you like best about B2W Estimate?

I was using this software to bid on projects & estimate the labor hours as well as calculate the quantities.

I recommended this software to civil construction professionals.

Its build to deal with heavy projects. So many features are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about B2W Estimate?

Training sessions should be there along with the software package.

Sometimes it takes a bit more time to start, but it's ok with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is B2W Estimate solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like the task creation feature, and you can save and recall later too.

It is easy for newcomers means it is user-friendly.

Estimating flows into Track and Schedule to reduce the surplus.

It saves time and allows us to bid on more projects:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A core advantage with B2W Estimate is the ability to create and pre-populate detailed databases with costs – including default templates of crews and pay items – that can be easily updated.

B2W Estimate Demo - Flexibility – pay item, work breakdown structures (WBS) or hybrid bidding

In addition to traditional pay item bids, B2W Estimate supports Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) bidding. This allows companies to organize and develop estimates in an unlimited hierarchical form, with visibility into how costs are rolled up and the level of detail at which costing is done. Estimat...

Estimators can work – with access to resources and items – even when disconnected from the office server. Reconnect, and the new estimates or changes are added on the server. This is a big advantage for companies that want the flexibility to work remotely or download a bid locally for closing dur...

The ability to download a DOT electronic bidding system (EBS) file, conform the estimate automatically to match the required DOT format and then upload it for submission is a huge time saver. B2W Estimate even comes with a built-in database, including pay items for each state DOT.

B2W Estimate tracks additions, modifications and deletions, recording the date, time and user.

This estimate software is a great tool that helps organize the estimate and break down the estimate in very fine detail. When having bid reviews, we can easily run through the estimate and show others how the bid is broken up and what money is in what bucket. You can break down your bid into multiple work breakdown structure levels. This helps keep large estimates organized and concise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure if this is my computer or network, but the only thing I dislike is the loading time. Sometimes it can take some time for the estimate to come up or auto-distribute. Its also not the best when trying to export out information. The reports can be a bit funky, so depending on which report one runs, the information isnt't always what we are looking for.

Recommendations to others considering B2W Estimate:

I haven't used other estimating softwares, but from my personal experience with B2W, it is great to use.It shows the crew and equipment makeup and labor rates and equipment rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are definitely solving an organization issue with B2W. It organizes everything in a very structural breakdown and gives everyone a view of how the bid is broken up. We are able to see what costs go into what, and the breakdown of literally everything. This makes sure that we aren't missing anything, and we have crossed our T's and dotted our I's.
