The Best Contractor Tool by Far
Definitely the BEST fully comprehensive programme incorporating, Estimating, Planning and Project control all in one
Pros
The package allows one to price the project to the last screw and then enables one to analyse the project and fully understand where the cost is and what areas require special attention. Generally 80% of the cost is in 20% of the items. The programming module of Candy is by far one of the most advanced programs available. It assists in monitoring the design information for construction. It enables one to link the estimate to the programme and get out detailed accurate cash flows, labour and resource histograms.
Cons
It is a rather expensive package with a monthly cost per package and companies tend to look for alternative cheaper packages. So far have managed to convince company to stay with candy
Reasons for switching to Candy
CCS was far more advanced and could produce the information a lot faster than other packages. After setting up was definitely more user friendly.

From an expert-level user
Pros
- I love having the level of information to which I can do costing, be as accessible to me as this software does it - the ability (though very very very under-utilized) to convert omney to a timeline is exciting
Cons
- the support line is geared to the average user. Not much in the wat for expert users - the inability to integrate with other big-name financial packages is a downer - a one fits all fee structure is frustrating. Because we're not all on the same level of skill.

Candy is the best
I Have been in Civil Construction for more than 20 years and have been using Candy for about 15 ears. I use it every day not only for tender estimating but also for cash flows and much more. It is a great product, with great support.
Pros
Candy is by far the most user friendly program I have worked with and updates are done very often. I will never use another program for estimating tenders. You can structure it according to your needs and use your own experience to define your pricing.
Cons
I can not say anything negative about Candy, I almost want to call it perfect.
Response from Construction Computer Software
Dear Coert, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences online. It means a lot to us here at CCS and we are proud to have been by your side for the last 15 years. I know our Candy development & support teams will be happy to hear that their hard work is appreciated and that they in turn are there for you. We look forward to seeing you at the next CCS Candy User Seminar in your region. Have a super day.
