It really doesn't make the system less functional I have just had some instances where I edited and estimate but I made a mistake or wanted to change it back for some reason. --- ### Solid tool with an ever growing list of valuable features - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kevin L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are able to drive our goal of industry leader with the tools being afforded to us by B2W. We find new ways of use daily, we are able to get information to our field personnel quickly. Responding in minuets to issues not days and weeks. it is a platform we plan on building upon aggressively for a long time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I truly appreciate the integration among the entire product line. It truly streamlines our approach to doing business #### Cons While I enjoy the integration, I do feel it could be better, the limited functionality of certain parts of the programs limit its full potential. --- ### I am new to the product, but it seems like a good software program. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's easy to use as an estimator. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use and functionality. I like the various windows for different functions, and the icons are getting better to differentiate various functions. I do like how I am able to have many number of tasks in a tree, in lieu of only having the ability to have 3 or 4 tasks per item. #### Cons Lacks some features I am used to. I am not a huge fan of the different reports, but we are working with B2W about customizing various reports to suit our company needs. I am also not a fan of how slow the inputs can be. We are working off an off-site server, and sometimes in can bog down. --- ### Continues to perform as expected. Easy to navigate around after becoming familiar with interface. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Also the ability to break down information in various formats for easy review and analysis. Conditional formatting allows to catch anything that may be an issue at a quick glance. Numerous reports built in to cover a lot of aspects of the bids. #### Cons Inability to create custom reports in house. Also with concurrent licenses not having the ability to pull a license back from a user has been a challenge. The user may have remained logged in even though they are not using the software preventing others ability to access. --- ### Great MS platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dan M. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2014 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 #### Pros First, I like how responsive this vendor is towards user concerns and input towards a better product. Each employee is very willing to help and answer questions, or record any input to be evaluated for future updates. Second, I like how much this product continues to evolve. When I started using the software three years ago, I only used the estimate portion. Now we have evolved to using it for job cost tracking, dispatch, forms, etc., it is much more convenient being able to use one software to handle a lot of our needs. #### Cons The only thing I do not like is not having an "undo" button, one like those seen on the Microsoft office softwares. I greatly appreciate the recycle bin feature to help restore items that I've deleted, but I also make many small mistakes or changes that I would easily like to undo. --- ### B2W Estimate - Overall rating: 4.5/5 - Reviewer: Tyler F. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Customer support: 4.5/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 #### Pros Custom Reporting feature made it possible to customize the reporting and views to the old way we were used to seeing it. It does a really good job of computing all the numbers in a bid item fashion. Tons of ways you can tackle different tasks or multiple items within one parent bid item, phases, alternates, etc. The subcontractor compare tab is a great way to compare item by item, apples to apples of multiple sub quotes. Then with a click of a button it will push them in to your actual bid. Huge time saver! #### Cons Sometimes on larger bids with hundreds of bid items that are very complex it seems to have a slight lag when doing data entry. That could also be part technical on our side as well. But I need to address this. I guess I'm always shooting for "Very Efficient" in everything I do. --- ### Overall a great experience. Enjoyed the interactive classes and found it very helpful. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Karrie S. - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Overall I find the program to be very user friendly. I am intrigued by all of the different reports that it can generate. #### Cons I find at times the software can be slow. A feature that would be nice is for it to have a multi-delete function (rather than only being able to delete one item at a time). --- ### Powerful and Functional - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mo S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is one of the best estimating software specifically for heavy-civil, large scale projects. Ability to identify and manage a resource file, transferring the WBS from excel to the software and utilizing the best reporting system to come up with the cost breakdown based on labor, equipment and material are some pros of this software. #### Cons Considering the cost of the software, it fits the large-scale projects. It doesn't seem, it can be a right choice for small-size projects or buildings. --- ### Its user friendly, the program gets better as data basis are built for functionality for our use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Raymond O. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Estimate quality, functional bid quotes #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Once the data basis is built with tasks and material it will be easier to build an estimate quicker, this will take time. It's hard to accomplish through the season now, we will be working on it through the winter months. #### Cons It would be nice to see within the estimate that you are working on that will show you all of the material you have imported for your estimate in one screen whit a push of a button. --- ### It works well for it's purpose. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ivan S. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I think it helps provide more accurate and competitive estimates. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I think the building of crews and layout is easy to understand. The RFP process is very functional and easy to use. #### Cons It doesn't work well for mechanical takeoff. Also, the building of resources can be clunky. I also would like to see a feature where you can award a scope of work to a sub or supplier as "FREE" for comparison purposes. --- ### Used Estimate (formerly Bid2Win) for more than 10 years. Very pleased. - Overall rating: 4.5/5 - Reviewer: Jan V. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 #### Pros Support is very good. Friendly and knowledgeable. And prompt! Usually you can talk to a support rep right away and get your issue resolved right then and there which is critical when closing a bid. #### Cons Because we have been so pleased with Estimate / Bid2Win, I have not personally used other estimating software for more than ten years so I cannot personally provide a detailed comparison to other currently available estimating software. --- ### Great Bidding Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bryce D. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3.5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 #### Pros Bid2Win makes it relatively easy to produce quality bids in a short amount of time. We value the ability to distribute indirect costs and make specific adjustments. Also the ability to adjust costs globally is of great value. #### Cons It has been somewhat of a learning experience to export bid estimates to our accounting and job costing software. I'm sure if we were to work with support on this we could figure it out better. --- ### Great Program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Evan D. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software is very easy to use and the staff at B2W offer great support throughout the integration process and afterwards with any advice you may require. Once integration is complete, B2W sends someone to your office to help train at your own pace in a one on one environment for your company. #### Cons I do not have anything bad to say about the product or vendor. --- ### I have used B2W Estimate since 2003. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: David V. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: March 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I had previous experience with crew/production based estimating prior to starting with B2W Estimate 13 years ago so the concepts were easy to pick up. The way we use Estimate has evolved over the years to help integrate the project budgets into our accounting and production tracking systems. B2W Support has been helpful when we needed to resolve issues. The software is flexible and adaptable to our needs. The 4 stars for ease of use is only because B2W has so many features packed into the system. I'm sure it does things that we don't even know we need. The Best Practices sessions at UC16 were very informative. Working through a sample estimate with a trainer and then discussing "tips and tricks" with other users is of great value to be able to use the software to its fullest potential. We are looking forward to the enhancements coming in future releases. B2W is to be commended for the culture of always wanting to improve the product--and basing those improvements on the needs and desires of their customers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### Project Estimator - Overall rating: 4.5/5 - Reviewer: Eric R. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 #### Pros The ability to assemble accurate and complete bids in a short amount of time. B2W Estimate is such a universal tool and can do anything that is required of it. #### Cons The feature that we are not in love with on this product is the trucking modular and its function in the estimate. --- ### New user of enterprise level B2W - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Matt P. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the ability to detail out cost and keep one central database to review of other bids. I also like RFQ's and vendor management. #### Cons So far our offsite connections have been slow. I think that is more a problem on our end though. --- ### Signed up with this product a couple years ago. Love it. Keep it up - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Anthony S. - Industry: Construction - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The support staff is great. It's very simple and easy to use software. It's the way estimating should be. #### Cons I didn't like that it was developed without spellcheck, but that is resolved. We need a takeoff software in bid 2 win. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/construction/b2w-estimating-and-bidding-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- B2W Estimate Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
