About Quick Bid

Quick Bid is a construction estimating platform that has been developed for organizations to deal with job bidding in an accurate manner. The application helps reduce discrepancies for contractors, gain material quotes, identify risk factors and generate reports.

The software provides support in different industries including concrete, flooring, masonry, woodworking, electrical, interior projects, roofing and steel framing. Its integrated on-screen takeoff functionality provides users the opportunity to perform quantity surveys and transfer all the data directly to Quick Bid's platform database. The software streamlines estimating by consolidating different functions, as well as automating and minimizing gaps in communication.

Quick Bid also allows users to divide the number of supplies by floor, elevation or room to create the stocking lists for those areas. Through the bid navigator tool, contractors can easily create tabs for every bid and view corresponding equipment, materials, markups and labor. It has a master database that allows estimating personnel to manage and modify manufacturers, account codes, assemblies and contacts.

I don't usually gush over a program, but when I do it's Quick Bid....

Wonderful. I don't priase software companies very often, or to such an extent, but OCS deserves accolades on this. Let's see if they can keep it up now that they are part of a MUCH larger company (Roper Technologies). I'm a lifer and deep into this program. I've set up 3 different companies that I've worked for. A fully portable database helps a lot...

Pros:

Just about everything. Fully functional (maybe TOO functional!) and fully customizable, to a fully trained estimator this program is a pleasure! It allows me to get as granular as I need to, yet it's as easy as pulling a takeoff in OST to get a price if you have your pricing already inputted. Also service! Their service is the BEST! Great techs, great account reps, everyone is always willing and eager to help! Never had an issue they couldn't solve. Also, they are very receptive to new ideas and features and uaully try to incorporate them quickly into the software

Cons:

It's getting bloated, and it's beginning to hang up on starts. Too many 'general exception faults' on startup now. I hope they get this fixed, it's time consuming and would think it embarrassing to OCS

Another let down customer

Used the program for a few years It is a good program for doing take offs .mpaid just under $4k for the licence so it is fairly pricey than similar systems on the market. Fairly dumb program in that to do a complete build up estimate you Either have to pay another 4K for quick bid or develop a excel spreadsheet and live link the data which is sometime temperamental . Back up service in Australia is poor referring you to a contact in Brisbane which is pretty useless when your in Perth. Diassaponted in paying just under 4 k for the program and then receiving a email a few months ago saying I need to purchase a new licence as they are no longer supporting the dongle security versions . Would have expected a longer life out of this program will be looking at other software such as costx which is cheaper and offers more functionality .

Vendor Response

We apologize for your negative experience. Numerous phone calls and emails regarding the change from dongles to activation codes have been attempted but it appears that the phone number we have on file is no longer in service. Please contact Crystal Barger, Client Services Manager, to update your contact information and to upgrade to your free On-Screen Takeoff version that utilizes activation codes.

SHAME ON YOU - ON CENTER SOFTWARE

They will leave you hanging if you don't purchase the very expensive support. You must have a windows based computer. Also the have the ability to shut down you software and leave you high and dry. I tried my best to stick with them for over 20 years and remained frustrated the whole time.

Pros:

I trained myself and never used any other programs so I cannot compare to others.

Cons:

I feel like I was deceived and lied to. They contacted me with a free upgrade and then told me it would not work with my system with the new software. I had to make a report the BBB to get out of the $6000 upgrade cost.
