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

“There are different terms for invoicing (order entry) and purchase orders, which are 2 of my top functions in the current Sage software.”

Rachel B.

Lead Project Accountant

“The ability to drill down into costs by job, phase, and cost code provides strong visibility into project performance.”

Joey M.

IT Manager

“Incredibly flexible and accessible from anywhere and give you the granular control over your construction financials, Sage covers almost every base you could need.”

Lorrie K.

Construction Administrator

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

“You have to create a different calculation for every employee for every payrate. When you have 50+ employees and they can work on 3-4 different positions and you have 6 wages scale jobs that is just too many calculations for 4-6 month projects.”

Lori R.

VP of Adminstration

“We found that managing the certified payrolls could be a little cumbersome with detail in the fringe benefits.”

Lorrie K.

Construction Administrator

“By the time I've contacted support, I've already tried to solve the issue six ways from Sunday as I am very familiar with how the software works, so a call is usually my last resort and going around in circles with AI doesn't do it for me, especially given we pay upwards of $15,000 for the gold tier support.”
