What do you like best about ProEst?

There's a lot of features and functionality, however, you need to self train yourself on all the ins and outs which would take years to accomplish to get the program to work to it's full capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Lots of nuances, particularly the report writer, building formulas within databases, the program is very "fidgety" in numerous aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accurate take-offs are certainly acheivable, when things are set up properly, churning out a full scale budget/estimate doing your on take-offs can be accomplished in little tiime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

You can write your own calculation formula to set variables and adjust them according to the difference of each project.High degree of visualization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The order of uploading drawings cannot be changed, and the order of Takeoffs cannot be adjusted. I generally like to post similar items nearby, but after the missing items are newly created, they can be placed at the bottom of the form, and cannot be placed near similar items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

Various reports. Quickly complete the estimate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Hi Yan, thank you for taking the time to review ProEst. We appreciate hearing your feedback — it helps us to continually update and improve our platform. Glad to hear the ability to customize formulas for each project has been helpful!

What do you like best about ProEst?

ProEst has a lot of great functions. We are finding new ways to use the software every day. Once the databases are built, it is smooth sailing. We find our estimates to be much more accurate. We have also started using this as our proposal generation software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

There is no assembly substitution feature. This would be very helpful. The only way to change out an area is to do a new takeoff as an alternate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

Estimate accuracy on all items. A lot of smaller items, such as fasteners or caulking, were alwasy guesses. This software lets us pinpoint everything we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with ProEst. We're always updating and adding features to our platform, so we appreciate your feedback! Happy to hear ProEst has helped you to improve the accuracy of your estimates and that you've found the proposal feature helpful!

ProEst is very easy to set up and user friendly, it integrates well with our ERP Acumatica, in respect to Projects and Contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The reporting creator is too simple. We were not happy with the priont out result, we had to create a proposal report print out in Acumatica. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are just using ProEst as our main estimating Software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

I like ProEst because it provides a complete estimate with a proper count once you complete your take-off. I enjoy the ease of uploading plans and intuitive way to navigate the controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

One pitfall is that large projects that require extensive take-off begin to lag as the file fills up. i wish the tech team could fix this issue as it becomes frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

ProEst helps the estimator create accurate bids while simultaneously counting and measuring materials needed for the project. The program has saved valuable time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

The number one thing I love about this software is the sorfing types. You can sort it however you want it and add as many as you like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Bid day is not fully developed in the online version, especially in the reporting section. There is a lot that can be improved here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sorting and filtering the information is great with ProEst. Also, by programing the data base with your own assemblies and costs, you can save a lot of time estimating (for subcontractors mainly or self performers). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Thank you for your feedback! We're always working on updates and new releases, and appreciate hearing from you about our bid day capabilities. Happy to hear that ProEst has saved you time on your estimates and that you've found the sorting and filtering functionality helpful!

What do you like best about ProEst?

It has many tools you can utilize as an estimator. I like that you can takeoff, send plans to subs and create your bid day spreadsheet all in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The takeoff function could be better for ease of use I believe and it lags a little on entering prices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are interacting inside an estimate on bid day. The benefits are the informational videos offered to walk you through the Pro Est operations and the customer service you receive with your subscriptions to continue that education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Hi Blake, thanks for your feedback and taking the time to leave a review! Glad to hear that our customer service and training videos have been helpful.

What do you like best about ProEst?

The integration between takeoff and estimate. It definitely makes the estimating progress quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The assemblies are limited to the items, meaning that there is no chance to add more items to the assembly once its been added to the estimate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProEst:

Easy to use with some minor adjustments needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are definitely less mistakes being made because of the integration of takeoff and estimate. The reports help communicate important information to other team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

The Takeoff abilities are helpful and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

One of the things I like the least about Pro-Est is that it seems like every time I get used to a certain format they change things up. I understand making upgrades, but the basic format and layout shouldn't change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's cloud-based system allows access from remote sites as well as multiple people being able to access it at once and collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
