IntelliBid is the best software out there. The first quote I did was half a million, put together in 9 hours, and was successful by $2,000. IntelliBid left very little money on the table. If you are looking for electrical estimating software, you are looking in the right place!
Conest has always been my preferred estimating software, primarily because of the assemblies. I’m always coming across an assembly that needs a little bit of adjustment, and I can adjust my assemblies on the fly. Most of my estimating has been with Conest, and it’s worked out pretty well.
When I first purchased Conest in 2007, my business was two guys and a pickup truck using pen and paper. I have used it to help my company grow to 115 employees doing over $25M a year in complicated public works projects. Hands down an excellent and versatile software you can grow with.
Conest is my go-to program. I’ve been using it for over 15 years, and there’s no other program like it. To be able to manipulate it and make it your own, there’s nothing else like Conest. It’s easy to learn and very user-friendly.
Whenever I have a question regarding Conest, your staff has gone over and beyond to help with whatever obstacles I have encountered. I deal a lot with Dan Lampkin. He’s always been professional and has explained what I needed to know in great detail. Very satisfied with the Conest staff.
Between SureCount and Conest, one of the best features is taking off everything you’ve built and having it show up in Conest. Once you get a fixture assigned to each type, it’s just a matter of selecting them all and importing them. It definitely saves a lot of time.
Very intuitive. I had no previous estimating experience with software like this, and while the learning curve has been steep, it has gone very smoothly. From first trial runs with the software to submitting complete bids within just a few short weeks.
I have been a Conest user since 1990 and love the program. It is, in my opinion, a very robust program and by far the most complete electrical estimating program in the industry.
SureCount works great for us. After the takeoffs are done, we send them to our printer to have full color prints made which are very clean and easy to read. We can export the counts to excel and link them to our own bidding system. We were impressed with the Conest folks out of the gate... and the support team is EXCELLENT!”
Conest Software Systems builds estimating, takeoff, and reporting software for electrical, low voltage, datacom, and solar contractors. Its products are IntelliBid electrical estimating software, SureCount digital takeoff software, Conest Connect analytics and reporting, and CE Cloud hosted delivery. The company has served the electrical trade since 1989 and is also part of the JDM Technology Group.
Most contractors begin with IntelliBid, the estimating platform, and then add SureCount for on-screen plan takeoff. After that, Conest Connect is added once there is estimating history worth reporting on, and CE Cloud when the team needs to work from more than one location.
Electrical, low voltage, datacom, and solar contractors, from small residential shops through large multi-crew commercial and industrial firms. Because the material database covers all construction types and job specifications can be saved as defaults, recurring project types only need to be set up once.
Yes. In addition to US-based technical support, Conest provides classroom training, webinars, a video library, and an IntelliBid tips archive.
Request a demo, and an estimating specialist will walk through the software using the kind of work your shop actually bids instead of a generic sample project.
