Integrated takeoff allows for seamless estimate creation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

bid day pretty much useless as it sits today Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

The ability to customize the database and estimate parts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takeoff tool doesn't snap to nodes in drawings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Template copy which allows you to copy and estimate from an old one wipeout the quantities and create an estimate in which to run nice comparisons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

simplify the assembly feature, reports are hard to make but we are slowly getting those completed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
