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.

Estimating offline in SAP

We are looking for a solution that will enable us to use SAP Estimating and function offline. It is essential to our business that we can build an estimate without Internet access and present it to the customer on a one-stop sale. I’m hoping to find someone that has built or bought a solution that does not require internet access and will use SAP as the system of record. I’m really thinking something with Adobe technology (especially Flex) would be best, expecially considering the recent alliance between SAP and Adobe.

We are looking at the current version of SAP with Netweaver and our modules include MM, PP, PS, CRM, FI, HR, etc.

TIA,
Rod
