Customer Testimonials

Clint Alessandro "When I first purchased in Conest in 2007, my business was two guys and a pick up truck using pen and paper. It provided simple bid templates, a lot of assemblies, and a huge database which made it easy to start using immediately as a novice... I have used [IntelliBid] to help my company to grow to 115 employees doing over $25M a year in complicated public works projects ranging from small to over $10M each. Hands down an excellent and versatile software you can grow with. Highly recommend it to anyone." — CLINT; ALESSANDRO ELECTRIC, INC. Marc Candels "I have been a Conest user since 1990 and love the program. [IntelliBid] is, in my opinion, a very robust program and by far the most complete electrical estimating program in the industry...

Very satisfied with the Conest staff." — ROGER ADKINS; PRITCHARD ELECTRIC COMPANY JoAnna, Software Advice "[SureCount] works really 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 excel bidding system. We were impressed with the [Conest] folks out of the gate - they had videos showing the different features making it easy to understand & the support team is EXCELLENT!" — JOANNA, SOFTWARE ADVICE Larry, Software Advice "The flexibility to create assemblies catered to the way I estimate is the best feature for my method developed over the last 50+ years.

My turnaround time in terms of estimates is really fast.” — FRED WARREN James F. Tremblay “Having had some experience in using computer based estimating systems, I was able to pick up Conest [IntelliBid] quite easily on my own.
