I have work with Candy more then 9 years. It was very good for the tender pricing works and  also latest updates versions are  very help full.

Earlier our business used to suffer because  of lack of resource planning and accurate estimation process.

It is a good alternative software for project management. Please try it, recommended.

Candy's customer service is phenomenal, they offer great training sessions and constantly improve and innovate to keep the software in line with industry trends.

I enjoy the estimating and valuations. I like the fact that you can customize it for your own uses.

Procurement Officer

Its hard to undo stuff if you have changed it accidentally.

Engineer

The software is user friendly and easy accessible. After going through the practice book i was able to understand about 80% of how the software works.

Quantity Surveyor/ Estimator

The only concern I have with candy is that if an error is made it is not easily correctable.

Candy's intuitive and user friendly interface makes it easy to learn and use. The software's automated processes save a lot of time, allowing me to quickly create accurate estimates.

Assistant Estimator

It safes time and money, and in business time is money. I love how I can do my programming, subcontracting and pricing all at once.

Estimator Quantity Surveyor

Generally very happy with the software which is specific to our industry. Regular updates are done.

Head of Estimating and Controlling

Most important for me was the integrated planning and cashflow tool during the estimating phase and later for project control.

Commercial Manager

Some actions do not follow through into all applications eg The "No off"in estimating cannot be used in "Cost & Allowable.

Chief Estimation Engineer

Although I am emotionally inclined towards Candy, the rapid advancements in BIM technology highlight the need for improved integration capabilities in Candy.

estimator

Customer support faultless to date and have used candy through many iterations of its development, I'm just a little rusty.

Candy and Edwin Construction

Dear Geoff
Thank you very much for taking the time to review Candy, your continued support is highly appreciated.  
We look forward to seeing you at the next CCS Candy User Seminar in your region. 


For us as a Civil Construction company Candy is helping us be more efficient with our time and money. To follow the process of a project with time and money is really helping us achieve our goals in a project. Doing a quick course in Candy does help a lot in understanding the program. What is also very efficient is if you priced an item once, the data is in your program and you just use the specific code to price the item. Overall I think Candy is a great Design and very effective and I will definitely recommend it to other Construction companies.

Candy the Best

Dear Pravin,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. Having been a Candy user for so many years we are lucky to have you now part of  our Candy Consultant team. 

Users can get familiar with the software by vary basis knowledge, and if established a proper master CCS then very easy to price any project, however master should establish very carefully considering project requirements.
