Helps ensure that projects are bid with the same standards every time. > > **Cons**: Setup is very time consuming. With that being said, once it is setup, modifying items is very easy and straightforward. > > We have had fantastic results using B2W Estimate. Estimates are more consistent from job to job and we can see where the costs are going on a line by line basis. ----- ### "Good estimating software with many tools" — 4.0/5 > **Sean** | *10 November 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The program is straight forward to learn, however, there are many features so there is a learning curve. The vendor and subcontractor RFQ is a great feature that makes analysis much easier. There are many reports available. Very helpful software. > > **Cons**: There is no undo button, so be very careful before you take action. It is somewhat laborious to set up an estimate, a drag and drop feature of tasks or components would speed things up greatly. > > This program works very well with Viewpoint and makes setting up a job in Viewpoint much easier. ----- ### "Specialty Subcontractor, occasional Prime Contractor" — 5.0/5 > **Dan** | *1 March 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexible enough to efficiently cost estimate various scopes of work. Reusable cost structures with the ability to tweak to specific project circumstances.Pricing / distribution strategies very helpful in very competitive situations. > > **Cons**: Internal implementation effort by initial business unit was extraordinary. Each implementation thereafter improved significantly. ----- ### "Estimate is a great solution." — 4.0/5 > **Gabe** | *13 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Estimate makes the process from the beginning to the end of a project seamless. - vendor and sub management is very organized and makes quote evaluation very streamlined. - customer support is some of the best I have ever dealt with. very helpful if I need to know how to do something or something isn't working quite right. > > **Cons**: one con I would say is there is no undo function. It would be a nice feature. It really doesn't make the system less functional I have just had some instances where I edited and estimate but I made a mistake or wanted to change it back for some reason. > > Experience has been great. we recently switched over to the cloud and that was a great decision to be able to estimate anywhere. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/1095/b2w-estimating-and-bidding?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/1095/b2w-estimating-and-bidding) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
