Pros

“Our lead estimator is able to input equipment, labor, and material costs, which allows me to easily add hours and quantities without having to build everything from scratch.”

Josie M.

Project Engineer

“The ability to copy a previous estimate, rename the job, and adjust quantities or production rates saves a significant amount of time and reduces the chance of errors.”

Josie M.

Project Engineer

“This feature helps keep our workflow efficient and allows us to focus more on reviewing project details rather than rebuilding estimates each time.”

Josie M.

Project Engineer

Pros

“We are able to manage estimating, scheduling, job costing, time tracking, invoicing, and project documentation without needing multiple software programs.”

Keara H.

Office Manager

“The platform is highly customizable, allowing us to tailor it to our workflows, and the customer support team has been excellent throughout the implementation process.”

Keara H.

Office Manager

“The platform makes it easy to manage estimates, schedules, documents, daily logs, time tracking, and communication all in one place.”

Bayleigh R.

Project Coordinator

Cons

“Additionally, configuring initial cost codes and setting up the master database requires a significant investment of administrative time upfront before seeing the payoff.”

Hector A.

Estimating

“While incredibly robust, the user interface feels dated compared to modern cloud-based solutions.”

Hector A.

Estimating

“The main thing I dislike about HeavyBid is the process of saving a completed estimate.”

Josie M.

Project Engineer

Cons

“Additionally, while the mobile interface is functional, there are occasional inconsistencies in loading speeds when switching between complex modules—such as moving from detailed cost reports to daily logs—which can impact efficiency during busy site visits.”

Ilkin B.

Project Manager

“The only thing I wish I could do, was have the system send and email (invoice or estimate or whatever) and the email shows that its coming from me instead of contractor foreman. If I forget to tell the client, they dont recognize the email address and they dont open it.”
