## Features

AI summary

Based on 2,314 Construction Estimating reviews

Not all construction estimating software covers every feature buyers care about most. Here is what Capterra reviewers highlight as essential when choosing a solution:

-   **Quotes/Estimates** (**62%** of reviewers rated this feature as critical)
-   **Multiple Projects** (**50%**)
-   **Takeoff** (**62%**)

Sigma includes **Takeoff**, which gives estimators a way to measure materials and quantities more accurately during preconstruction. However, it does not offer **Quotes/Estimates** or **Multiple Projects**. Instead, it provides **Cost Estimating** (**61%**) and **Project Management** (**45%**), which can still support budgeting and day-to-day project coordination. Together, these features help businesses improve cost visibility, stay organized across workflows, and make more informed estimating decisions.

To the extent Sigma is utilized with hand crafted libraries and physically organized BOQ the product is incredible, when you need to go further and set up an adequate BIM work process - there it starts to get confounded.

Pros

Interopairability with Autodesk Revit for direct BOQ and probability to develop project tree.

Cons

Intricacy in information trade and planning settings between 3D models as local as IFC.

Generally speaking, I approach more than our past announcing framework, which is a positive. Nonetheless, as self fill in I wish interfacing tables and approving were more clear as a client.

Pros

I love the safe cloud facilitating, the simplicity of associating with information sources, the way that it questions the information straightforwardly, however, most I like the network-based perspective on information that is consistently within reach. Having the option to see, sort, channel, and make computations on the information in a natural accounting page-like interface is virtuoso. The "Section Details" highlight permits me to rapidly comprehend the scope of qualities in the framework.

Cons

I've created a few component demands for regions we'd prefer to see in more detail.

Love that Sigma lets me work multiple quotes at one time and because it's so powerful and well designed, I can get quotes done in half the time it would take otherwise.

Pros

Powerful and adaptable. LOVE the fact that you can attach quote documents, images, etc to the scope lines. I like to use the child fields to insert the various quotes from subcontractors. Then I can just turn them on or off as needed to work my quote. Customer support is AWESOME! I can call them any time and 85% of the time they'll answer right away. If he doesn't answer I know he'll be calling me back shortly. He'll work me through most issues while we are on the phone! If he can't do that, he'll find a fix for the issue and get it right back to me. Like I said, AWESOME!!

Cons

Steep learning Curve... Lol! But.... See above regarding customer support!

Hands down, best money ever spent on estimating software. The potential of Sigma is huge, and integrating it with other digital takeoff software like Planswift creates a match made in heaven.

Pros

Extremely flexible to your needs. Unlike other estimating software, Sigma allows you to build your own system through a very familiar excel interface. The modular structure of Sigma also allows you to quickly and seamlessly modify/add/delete anything in your quotations and even reference part or all of it for future estimates.

Cons

The report system is not very user-friendly, still a lot of improvements can be done in this area in terms of customization of reports.

As far as Sigma is used with custom made libraries and manually structured BOQ the software is great, once you want to go further and establish a sufficient BIM workflow - there it begins to get complicated.

Pros

Interopairability with Autodesk Revit for direct BOQ and possibility to build up project tree.

Cons

Complexity in data exchange and mapping settings between 3D models as native as IFC.
