What do you like best about Quick Bid?

We like the custom user conditions and the ability to change prices for materials and labor on the fly. It is pretty accurate in terms of measurement and calculations. It's pretty easy to add multiple users to the sql database. The bids are very accurate and the software is largely stable. The SQL database is very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

Sometimes the Quickbid and OnScreenTakeoff lose synchronization and the SQL support is pretty poor, you better have a network admin that knows what they are doing... but the thing we dislike the most is the price, this product is ridiculously over-priced and you need a fairly powerful computers and server to run it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

The bids are very accurate and we have seen success using the software, but it is very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

Helpful from the first look at the drawings to the end of the project, great for the smallest jobs all the way to multi-million dollar endeavors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

QB has quirks like any other software in this category, but the fewest process-breaking of the group.

Initial setup can be cumbersome for anyone not familiar with the software, but OnCenter is very helpful in this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Bid:

I would recommend you take a good hard look at On Center's new product OASIS before committing to the OST/QB combo. Oasis exports to QuickBid, but the software is not interactive yet. Development is fast on Oasis, so I would expect to see a full blown pricing module in Oasis in the near future.

For the time being, I will continue to use the OST/QB combo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

All pricing for all projects in one place, in an easy to sort and manage platform.

No more making separate excel spreadsheets for each area or breakout - you can do all of this on the fly with QuickBid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

How simple is it is to connect with OST and price our entire project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

The only real dislike I have is that after the latest update there are many things that lag. Changing the mark ups after all conditions are priced lags every time. Also, sometimes editing conditions that are still connected to OST take quite a while to process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Bid:

Quick bid is very easy and simple to use. A lot of our material suppliers have databases that you can download directly to quickbid and will have all of their materials in it. Also, it is very simple to create and price you own materials if you want. Over the years we have added extra scopes of work in to our company and it has been very simple to add to our database. Also, we met with the OnCenter team at an AWCI event and they were great people to hang out and speak with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to price every aspect of our projects with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

Quickbid takes all the thinking out of bidding. Developing conditions to meet the needs of the project is a huge time saver which allows estimators to accurately give pricing to customers in a timely manner. Simple adjustments on the productions makes it easy for the user to understand the the time it takes for a Job to be completed. Having quick reports for stocking materials, getting vendor quotes with the eQuotes feature shaves time on ordering and able to get up to date pricing quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

The only complaint that I could have with the software would be not being able to have additional template features for the proposals.. Adding code to the template that could call out specific conditions could help save some time on giving breakouts of certain conditions/alternates. I have not found a way to add in code to give the description of the Alternates in the proposal. Bouncing back and forth between the notes and the conditions cost time to go in and out of the windows to fully give the scope of work needed for the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Bid:

If you are unsure about the product, Get with the OnCenter team to do a 2 week free trial. Dedicate about 8 hours of time to get a feel of the product. Use the material database to your advantage on creating new items. Create Assembly's to help breeze right through the conditions. All in all, this has saved hours of time. A little trick to bidding that I have found to cut some cost is change the heights on the materials. Example would be a 16' tall wall. Instead of putting drywall all the way up to 16' at one production rate, go to 12' and a faster production speed (ie. 110 sqft/hr) then the remaining 4' to a slower production rate (ie. 80sqft/hr). This will help you accurately fine tune the bid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

High cost on projects. Being able to shave cost in the markup's, material waste, and being allowed to enter in numbers to the 1/10th or 1/100th position on the productions allow us to shave cost for certain conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

Intuitive and simple to use. Lots of redundancy for user preference. Customization is easy. Great training videos. Tech help is very good. Project express updates have been very good. Cut/Paste/Duplicate operations save huge amounts of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

New Releases and Updates are sometimes "buggy". Too many "bells and Whistles"- a little less is more. Account Representative turn over seems high. Not fully compatible with all industry accounting software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Bid:

A great, very logically designed software package. This product is truly designed for the way that an estimator thinks. Also provides valuable information for the filed and internal support staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

reduces many human errors. provides multiple methods for cross-checking work. Provides lots of information for reports. Easy and logical- very well thought out for the estimating mind. Easy to modify materials, assemblies, payroll, per diem, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

Intuitive user interface. Much like the other On-Center products, after a couple hours of how-to videos, my team was off to the races. Labor, material, and equipment database is easily maintained. Excellent product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

Quick Bid is mostly geared toward self-performance. I would love to see a true subcontractor category in the unit cost data base, rather than breaking all assemblies into labor, material, and equipment. Though, if mainly self-perform, this is the product for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Bid:

If you're looking for a platform that is cost effective and not overloaded with unusable modules, or a platform that does not need to be tied to your accounting software, Quick Bid is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unified platform. Quick Bid has allowed me to provide a unified platform and cost data base for all my estimators across the company and in regional offices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

Quick bid allows me to concentrate on finding the complex items within a bid, by allowing me to set up standard assemblies for the items that occur most of the time in a bid. It is configurable to quickly allow for the differences that are in every market I am pricing in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

There is really nothing about the software I dislike, however the most common complaint I hear from others is the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Bid:

Get it and learn how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quick Bid solving and how is that benefiting you?

The first thing Quick Bid does is allow me to create detailed and accurate estimates. It also me to store a complete record of the costs and assumptions I made to arrive at my final bid. This is helpful when a project is shelved for a year or two and then restarted. Instead of starting over material and labor rates can be quickly adjusted to match the current market.

But by far the most important thing Quick Bid does for me is to provide the reports required for successful project management. When a superintendent has a labor budget to beat and a complete material list of long lead items, it helps a project start and remain on the right track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
