Pros

“Overall it is a great system, they have an awesome trainer that will work with you until you got it. Customer service is also real helpful.”

Helen M.

Project Manager

“I have been using ProEst for the last year and have for the most part been very happy. The customer support has been very good.”

Seth W.

Estimator

“However, if you like you can use simple unit takeoffs and apply a cost to them later. Proest can be as complex or as simple as you'd like for it to be and for the money, it's a pretty good program.”

Michael C.

Project Executive

Cons

“Occasionally when trying to switch between estimates or screens I inadvertently will hit the close window button which closes the program. On bad days this can really raise your blood pressure.”

Seth W.

Estimator

“Terrible schedule program; visually unable to have clients and vendors understand it.”

Brian S.

Division Manager - Special Project

“I do have one complaint which may seem petty, but it is an annoyance.”
