What do you like best about ProEst?

The ease in building a database that is custom to your business and being able to duplicate a template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The downside for a custom Home builder is having a bid accepted and not being able to go back and edit that entry once it has been accepted because in custom homes people make changes and will want us to reprice something or edit something and we have to create a new entry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Time and effort to complete bids and take offs. It has cut our bid time almost in half Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Coy, thank you for taking the time to review ProEst. We're glad to hear our platform has helped cut your bid time almost in half! We're always trying to improve our services and appreciate your feedback as a custom home builder.

What do you like best about ProEst?

The budgeting tool is extremely useful and i love the way it gathers data from the takeoffs. the summery and the reports are very useful as well. the sort types are awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Report Writer is difficult to use. The takeoffs tool could be improved, keyboard shortcut for "Undo" for example do not work but they should. line items lock up the cost code and arent able to be edited once there is a takeoff connected, this needs to change. also, it should be MUCH more difficult to delete a drawing. and it should be MUCH easier to upload that single drawing back.

I have lost my progress and screwed up my estimates COUNTLESS times because i or a coworker accidentally deleted a single page full of takeoffs. every time we called support for this the answer was the same- "Sorry there is nothing we can do". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

historical data is being kept in an easy to use database for future reference. the copy estimate tool allows me to create multiple iterations of the same estimate which is great to allow other estimators to use their own best practices and compare later on.

What do you like best about ProEst?

The takeoff section really can give you a good idea of quantities in a small amount of time, and a good way to organize information visually.

Access to information via cloud storage vs local Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The estimating equations can be challenging, seeing the information or converting units to get the information like you want, synced together to a specific trade's needs.

Also, would love to see an expanded screen on the takeoff mode so you could use your monitors full (or most of it) screen when looking a the plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I just like having a quick way to takeoff something, and track progress through the takeoff screens

Can go back and review something easily to trace my steps. Like the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
