We use Sage Timberline for our accounting, project management and estimating. I don't know much about the estimating side. I'm the controller and cfo.

I also use the Sage Timberline system. It is a good system but can be expensive to maintain. We have a dedicated server to handle our Sage programs. Depends on size of your company. The estimating software is Excel on steroids. The software is great because in connects the estimating department, accounting department and the field all in one program.

Another Sage Timberline user here. I have no experience with any other software but Timberline works for us. We also use on-screen takeoff in conjunction with it which is pretty awesome.

When it comes to upgrading software, it's important to consider your specific needs and requirements. Here are a few suggestions to help you in the decision-making process:
Identify your needs: Evaluate your current software and determine what functionalities are lacking or could be improved. Make a list of features and capabilities that you require in the new software.
Research and compare options: Look for software solutions that align with your needs. Read reviews, check online forums, and seek recommendations from professionals in your industry who have experience with similar software. Consider factors such as user-friendliness, customer support, integration capabilities, and pricing.
Conduct demos and trials: Request demos or trial versions of the software you are considering for this construction takeoff
. This will allow you to test the features firsthand and determine if the software meets your expectations.
Consider scalability and flexibility: Choose software that can accommodate your future growth and adapt to evolving technology needs. Scalability and flexibility are important factors to ensure that the software can grow with your business.
Assess implementation and training: Evaluate the ease of implementation and the availability of training resources. Consider the level of support provided by the software vendor, including documentation, tutorials, and customer support.
Seek feedback from others: Reach out to professionals in your industry or colleagues who have experience with the software you are considering. Their firsthand experiences can provide valuable insights and help you make an informed decision.
Remember, every business is unique, so the best software for one company may not be the best for another. Take your time to thoroughly evaluate your options and choose software that will effectively address your specific needs and contribute to the growth and success of your organization.

Not sure if the above was a joke or not since original question was from 2017, but it was hugely helpful as I am in the process of revamping an entire software suite.

A lot of difference between heavy construction and residential construction. If it’s heavy, I would go with either B2W or HCSS.LBGE, 36" Blackstone, Anova ProCharleston, SC

Does anyone know of a decent cost estimating program that doesn't cost a gazillon dollars?! I have surfed the net for weeks and have tried every garbage program out there Lumber Takeoff Services. They are either too confusing or focused on residential/commercial building, and remodeling. Can't seem to find anything focused on heavy construction priced reasonably under $1000.:beatsme
