Very good software
A good tool to use to tender
Pros
Easy Templates and when you use it daily its a quick tool for accurate tendering
Cons
because Chalkstring is growing every year we have been advising a lot of futures and they have implemented a lot of it . So complaining about this. I find the way the BofQ are presented not the way the most of the companies in Housing are using it and i build a excel sheet for exporting it into our way of presenting. But i am confident this will be changed in the future . The QS is difficult to use and is not how most companies want it to be presented.

Reasons for switching to Chalkstring
Because it connected all departments to one software and I can use it everywhere in the world as long there is internet.

You can tell Chalkstring has been designed specifically for construction contractors
The management team are good guys – they own the software IP and genuinely care about their clients and developing the product. They’re always willing to listen.
Pros
Choosing Chalkstring was a no-brainer for us, as it’s been developed for a contracting business just like us. We were looking for a solution that would seamlessly link our estimating process with onsite project delivery, while reducing the risk of errors and the time spent interpreting & sharing project data. One of our business aims was to increase our productivity and control, and it’s fair to say Chalkstring’s enabled us to achieve this and has delivered on every level.
Cons
Because the software is incredibly feature-rich, there is a lot to learn initially. However, once you’re up and running, using Chalkstring quickly becomes second nature.

Worth the effort
Very happy and the product keeps improving with each update
Pros
The audit trail from tendering through to project completion and the visibility of all areas through every step of the way been invaluable for our business
Cons
The roll out was difficult (but worth it) and in hindsight I would have done things very different with the knowledge I now have
Reasons for choosing Chalkstring
It appears to be the only software that links the estimating process to onsite management and administration
