Q:
Do you have a favorite construction estimating software tool?
Hi, this is Brian Eastwood. I'm the editor of a fairly new TechTarget site called ConstructionSoftwareReview.com, which, as its name implies, focuses on construction software products.
To that end I wanted to throw a question out to ITKnowledge Exchange readers -- what is your favorite construction estimating software tool? Are you using Microsoft Excel? What about Sage? HeavyBid? HardDollar? Something else entirely? What makes the software so appealing to you -- was there one feature that made you shout, "I need that now!" or was it the whole package that impressed you?
I'd love to spark a conversation about the best (or, heck, the worst) construction estimating software tools on the market. I know there are dozens of products from which to choose, and any guidance that we can collectively provide will certainly help anyone who is thinking about investing in construction software.
Thanks for your input.

My favorite construction estimating software is
Turbo-Estimator.
I've been using this software since the days of Windows '98. John Kirkish provides excellent
support, and responds to good ideas from his customers by quickly enhancing the software.
The software is consistently intuitive and easy to understand. I hope you get a chance to review
it and try out the free fully working demo.
Cheers, Ces
