The following are the software systems we use for estimating and project management. Each one is the best in it's category.

For electrical estimating, we use IntelliBid from ConEst exclusively. This program delivers the power required to organize, input and summarize the most complex of projects. The tools provided with this system enable the fastest data input we have ever seen. User definable input libraries let you organize input to do it your way.

Intellibid comes with many advanced features, all contributing to the flexibility and power of the product. We do not hesitate to recommend this product to any size contractor. The software is available in three different price/feature versions. For more information, click here or call, 1 800 662-7687.

Our pricing is maintained by Trade Service's Tra-Ser Premier. We chose this product because of it's tight link with Intellibid, weekly price updates and it's ability to change pricing for different geographical locations. For more information, click here or call 1 800 854-1527.

We use SureTrak Project Manager for scheduling. We can provide preliminary schedules with estimates, or develop and maintain schedules as part of our project management and computer services. For more information, click here or call 1 610 667-8600.

As more and more plans are being delivered as computer files, the need for an on-screen viewing, counting and measuring program increases. For these reasons, we have turned to PlanSwift Pro from Tech Unlimited. This program has been easy to learn and quick to operate for measuring and counting plans we have not wanted to print. We also use this program to display and manipulate drawings in our online estimating class. We have also found their technical support to be quick and responsive.
