I like having estimating software with built-in takeoff capabilities that will also interface with our accounting and project management software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takeoff is lacking functionality that other stand alone takeoff software packages have. To get maximum benefit from Proest's takeoff, users must create assemblies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

The takeoff tool helps tremendously. the integration to ProCore helps send budgets and project creations within ProCore Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

I would add a feature to the Estimate Center to change the status of a project. Currently, we need to open the project to change the status. It's a small thing, I understand, and not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Project estimating, inside wiring, and outside plant take-offs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

My favorite thing about ProEst is the manner is which data is stored and accessed. It has streamlined tracking sales by person, or division, and the hundreds of spreadsheets and reports have exponentially expanded our company's productivity. The database we have created for cost codes and unit prices is pretty standard for most estimating programs, but I do like how easy it was with ProEst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The actual estimate and summary page can take a bit to learn. I am not a fan of saving each line item, as if they are not saved, it's hard to notice. That comes down to just becoming more familiar with the program, through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data, data, data! It is so vital to a business to have RELIABLE data. As long as our users are utilizing the program correctly, our data is virtually 100% accurate. It never comes down to program problems. I also like that multiple users can see all estimates, as in my company, several of us will work on one at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

One of the best things about ProEst is it's customizability and ability to tailor to your working situation. The other thing that I find that sets ProEst apart is that you are able to give suggestions and have same day/next day feedback on it. Something that I hadn't seen before in any other software.

The recent implementation of a more word like type kind of editor was definitely a plus as it allowed some text to be large and other parts to be small.

The best part was that was done through feedback and able to be done in a relatively short turnaround time when dealing with software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

I don't really find many things to dislike. Especially since there is an option for instant feedback. One of the things that hasn't happened and maybe due to a the software inability is to save past changes or being able to go back to previous versions of scopes. Adding edits, can make a scope look cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProEst:

I think the ability to customize your takeoffs is essential and the ability to do so quickly and save different settings given different materials/products is something that is quite easily set up and done in ProEst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ProEst is currently used as a construction software that allows you to customize the way you estimate in order to minimize any sort of manual calculations that would take up time many times over.

At some point in the last year ProEst also decided to go with a cloudbased service that proved very, very convenient. This is of course given the current state of things and many people working from home. If someone is unable to come into the office, simply logging in from home is a great benefit. Especially when projects are big and due in the short iterim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ProEst?

On-screen takeoff & customize database.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Costs associated with in-person training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ProEst helps save time with their on-screen takeoff and assemblies that directly input the information into the estimate. It also allows multiple estimators or project managers to access the data both in the office and remotely on the job sites. With the use of an iPad, we can access the software at bid locations where we are finalizing our numbers at crunch time; this allows the estimator to be onsite for any last-minute changes associated with subcontractor bids or changes in scope.
