As any construction professional knows, you must be able to bid a project accurately in order to run a successful business. Bid too high, and another contractor will probably be awarded the job. Bid too low, and you risk not being able to turn an adequate profit. Fortunately, there are dozens of construction estimating software programs designed for this exact purpose. Knowing which one to choose just requires evaluating how you'll use it.

  1. Residential or commercial? Some construction estimating software programs are designed for residential projects, and some are better suited for commercial projects. Many can also be used for either type of project, but as with most things, the more options the program has, the more you will pay.
  2. What type of contracting do you do? There are construction estimating software programs designed for general contractors, electrical contractors, concrete and masonry contractors, landscaping contractors, and mechanical contractors. There are even programs which are written strictly for remodeling projects.
  3. Do you use other software programs in your business? If you also use project management software, you may want to choose a construction estimating software program which was designed by the same company so that they will work well together. Some software is written to interface with such programs as QuickBooks and the Microsoft Office package.
  4. Is it customizable? It's nearly impossible to find one construction estimating software program which fulfills all of your estimating needs, so you may want to consider a program which can be customized to suit your business. The construction estimating software program itself may offer options so that it can be tailored to your needs, or the company which designed it may have programmers that can re-write portions of the program for you.
