Happy to use the software when compared against other proprietary programs that are difficult learn

Software design & functionality aligns with many MS excel functions, which means new users can adapt to the software quickly.

The software become clunky when used over a network and the estimate has over 3000 lines with numerous worksheets behind each BOQ line.

I have been using Expert Estimation for over 25 years and have seen the product develop from a DOS based application to the current version. Having worked on the client side as an Expert Independent Estimator working collaboratively with both Tier 1 & Tier 2 construction companies who all use different applications, I honestly believe that Expert Estimation is one of the most powerful Estimating Software Packages on the market with the best service and support.

The ability to estimate costs by numerous methods allowing the Estimator to quickly estimate the costs of their projects and incorporation of the construction program to produce powerful expense and revenue cashflows.

I have no major negatives for the software, however there are a few simple changes that would increase the autonomy for the Estimator.

Very Happy with the program and support staff

1: After-sales maintenance and service,2: The staff are all very professional and helpful to deal with.3: The ability to work on multiple estimates at a time.3: Genesis estimating program is ideal for in-depth estimates, and is suited to a wide variety of estimating functions, and a wide variety of industries, Electrical, Civil, Building, Mechanical Electrical,When the estimates are correctly structured, this makes the review and verification process a lot simpler.The software is simple to use after the initial learning curve.Further learning can be enhanced by using the online training platform

The cost for multiple-user platforms should be a loyalty discount for multiple-user companies.

I like expert estimation and really recommend to everyone that is looking for an estimating software for their company. It helps to standardised the calculation process and estimating procedure.

I classified EE as a user friendly software considering I learnt the software from zero without any formal training before. The online tutorial and youtube video guided me to the correct path. Later the formal training enchanced my understanding of how the software works conceptually.

At the moment there is some limitation while working with large matrix calculation. Matrix calculation is the most common tools I use and keen to get a smooth flow calculation running.

I've found Expert Estimation to be an easy to use and intuitive application that provides all the functionality I need to produce and review estimates. When reviewing estimates on-screen with clients, they have been impressed with the level of transparency and reporting available with the click of a mouse. Highly recommended.

Expert Estimation Genesis is an easy to use multi-user application with good security controls and an intuitive, clean user interface. It can be used for all disciplines and it's about as flexible as you can get when setting up your projects. The availability of an undo button and the ability to make save points at various stages of the estimate development is very useful, as is the automatic save and backup features so you never lose your work. It is supported by superior training modules and knowledgebase as well as 24/7 support.

The application seemed to be a little sluggish with some of the monster size projects (say >20k line schedules) but performance improves with each application update so it's important to keep up to date. Generally there is little not to like about the software. If you hit a stumbling block, call the team and they usually solve most issues during the phone call.
