Pros/Cons
Pros
- The ease of use is fantastic. Ability to import new drawings and revised drawings is great.
- The ability to carry multiple tables for labor (shop or field) is also a nice feature if you do different kinds of work or have your own time-studies for certain products.
- The people from owner to developers and service technicians are very good people and willing to help.
Cons
- Pre-Bid changes are becoming more frequent. I used to dread this especially when the addendum plans are not clouded.
- I tried to open FastDuct and got an error message. 10pm on a Sunday night and not only did I get a phone call from the president but he had me up and running in a few minutes.
- An example would be to insert a metalbetsos catalog ,or a norfab. Also the workbook they provide is full of errors that take time to fix.
Pros
- The help videos attached to every aspect of the program are so helpful in training users and if that isn’t enough the Turbobid team is spot on with customer service to further help you succeed.
- In general, this program provides a great solution for estimating the budget. It is easy to use and its customer service is really good.
- We are absolutely glad that we found Turbo Bid, It's been very helpful, it's very user-friendly and has a lot of information for estimating.
Cons
- I get lost on how the pricing appears, or I don't know what price to send to the customer.
- Inability to adjust take off quantity prior to purchase.
- I dislike the way navigation through assemblies works. I would rather be able to type in a search bar when I need to add an assembly, especially one not used often.
