Senior Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "B2W Estimate" November 5, 2025 5.0 We have had fantastic results using B2W Estimate. Estimates are more consistent from job to job and we can see where the costs are going on a line by line basis. Pros Easy to use and duplicate results. Helps ensure that projects are bid with the same standards every time. Cons Setup is very time consuming. With that being said, once it is setup, modifying items is very easy and straightforward.

Estimator Project manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Estimate is a great solution. " November 13, 2025 4.0 Experience has been great. we recently switched over to the cloud and that was a great decision to be able to estimate anywhere. Pros Estimate makes the process from the beginning to the end of a project seamless. - vendor and sub management is very organized and makes quote evaluation very streamlined. - customer support is some of the best I have ever dealt with. very helpful if I need to know how to do something or something isn't working quite right. Cons one con I would say is there is no undo function. It would be a nice feature. It really doesn't make the system less functional I have just had some instances where I edited and estimate but I made a mistake or wanted to change it back for some reason. Review Source DH Dan H.

President Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "B2W Drives our Business" August 3, 2021 5.0 I have used several other software platforms and always go back to B2W for its user friendly package and customer support. Pros B2W provides real time cost and equipment resources that benefit our company daily. It is very easy to use and helps control our costs. Cons I would like to have the option of dictating the exact price of an estimate. Review Source AB Aaron B.

In the end it is up to the user to determine how much that they want to get out of the system . You get what you put into it (if you put in a lot of time and effort your results should be great). Pros Usability and user friendly. Easy for new employees to pick up. Security - we have the ability to allow user different levels of access. Also, integrates well with our accounting system. Cons Takes a lot of time and effort to get the system up and running. Have had some issues with mapping to our accounting system.

General Manger Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very useful Tool" November 22, 2021 5.0 It is an efficient Database Pros It integrates will with Vista and we also use Track. Cons The modules and licenses get very expensive. Review Source DH Devin H. Used the software for: ### "" July 7, 2011 5.0 Romero is a certified SDB General Construction Corp. specializing in: design-build, general contracting, fine grading, aggregate placement, asphalt paving, concrete paving, curb & flatwork, aggregate crushing/recycling, based in the northern San Diego, California area. Prior to BID2WIN we were using customized Excel spreadsheets on an ad hoc basis. What compelled us to switch to BID2WIN was the ability to have a centralized database on which all of our estimators could draw. That, and the fact that BID2WIN keeps our resources and our bids organized. We were very impressed with BID2WIN's customer service and the fact that we can call them up anytime and have one of their support reps log on to our computers and fix a problem. The company wants to go in the direction of the consumer; they're willing to customize the package to our operations and they want to implement it the best way they can to benefit us. One of the biggest reasons we went with BID2WIN is there support department. Whenever we call up they are like bull dogs; they get on a question and they wont let go until it's solved. BID2WIN saves our company time and money in several regards. First, it has standardized our estimating and bidding. Our estimators are all using the same program. Our bid proposals all look the same and there's no opportunity for anyone to be using an incorrect cost with any of our resources. Also, BID2WIN's built in error checking lets us quickly determine if we've omitted any costs or missed any aspects of the bid. My favorite feature is the ability to update a bid globally when we have material changes or labor or equipment rate changes. We can go into a very large bid and make the update and have it take effect everywhere. We use Maxwell's StreetSmarts and the integration with BID2WIN almost saves us a body at the office. Right from BID2WIN I can export my budget, cost codes, purchase orders – everything we need to set up the job. I would definitely recommend BID2WIN to some of our colleagues in the field. In fact, we've done so in the past! Review Source JG Joseph G. Estimator/Project Manager Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "B2W review " February 6, 2022 5.0 Pros Easy to use and easy to understand with no previous understanding Cons None can not find any real cons that I can see just yet Review Source SM Shane M. Estimator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cougar Companies Review of B2W Estimate" February 24, 2021 5.0 We are creating a seem less database for any estimator to use. The ease of learning this program from scratch is a lot easier now than when I started 15 years ago. The estimators I train now pick this up in about 1 week. Pros Reviewing Vendors and subs side by side for comparison is great. It is amazing how quick an estimate can be completed accurately. The initial set up is time consuming but well worth the cost. Cons An automatic schedule builder in Estimate for the customer. Review Source KL Kevin L. Vice President Of Construction Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid tool with an ever growing list of valuable features" June 19, 2018 5.0 We are able to drive our goal of industry leader with the tools being afforded to us by B2W. We find new ways of use daily, we are able to get information to our field personnel quickly. Responding in minuets to issues not days and weeks. it is a platform we plan on building upon aggressively for a long time. Pros I truly appreciate the integration among the entire product line. It truly streamlines our approach to doing business Cons While I enjoy the integration, I do feel it could be better, the limited functionality of certain parts of the programs limit its full potential. Review Source ID Ian D. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RGT Clouthier LTD" September 15, 2021 5.0 Fantastic! Pros User friendly, as long as your costs etc. are constantly updated Cons An undo button would be great! Also, a trucking global edit would be extremely helpful. Alternatives considered [PlanSwift](https://www.capterra.com/p/70808/PlanSwift/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I am new to the product, but it seems like a good software program." June 14, 2018 5.0 It's easy to use as an estimator. Pros Ease of use and functionality. I like the various windows for different functions, and the icons are getting better to differentiate various functions. I do like how I am able to have many number of tasks in a tree, in lieu of only having the ability to have 3 or 4 tasks per item. Cons Lacks some features I am used to. I am not a huge fan of the different reports, but we are working with B2W about customizing various reports to suit our company needs. I am also not a fan of how slow the inputs can be. We are working off an off-site server, and sometimes in can bog down. Review Source TD Tony D. Senior Estimator / Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Potential is there" January 3, 2019 3.0 Pros The best thing about B2W is how the different modules communicate with each other. Estimating flows into Track and Schedule to reduce redundancy. Cons There is a long learning curve to adapt to using this product. Setup is seemingly easy until it creates problems later and you have to start over. Not enough training is provided with the product and the charges incurred for additional training and setup is painful. Review Source AA Alan A. Senior Estimator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New User, Very Impressed" March 27, 2023 5.0 Pros Ease of use, easy learning curve, ability to customize crews, tasks, and items. Reusable cost structures greatly improve estimating efficiency. Cons An undo button would be an awesome feature to add. It is possible to accidentally make changes in database that affect a wide range of other projects. Care must be taken. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Started a new position at a new company. Review Source LP Louis P. Estimator/Prpject Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "B2W Estimate Review" November 15, 2021 4.0 Pros The overall ease of use and cost structure of pay items whil in the estimate detail view. Cons It costs extra to purchase the vendor/subcontractor RFQ suite. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager / Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Continues to perform as expected. Easy to navigate around after becoming familiar with interface. " June 21, 2018 4.0 Standardized bidding and job set up process across the company. Also provides place for easy review of bids at all levels of management in various locations across the group of companies. Pros Level of control over all aspects of the bids. Also the ability to break down information in various formats for easy review and analysis. Conditional formatting allows to catch anything that may be an issue at a quick glance. Numerous reports built in to cover a lot of aspects of the bids. Cons Inability to create custom reports in house. Also with concurrent licenses not having the ability to pull a license back from a user has been a challenge. The user may have remained logged in even though they are not using the software preventing others ability to access. Review Source GE Gerhard E. Chief Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes closing a tender a breeze." June 15, 2018 5.0 Increased success in obtaining work and peace of mind. Pros The flexibility. I have three estimators who utilize the functionality that allow them to work in their own unique ways. It's intuitive, uses windows-like logic. The 'crew based', subcontractor based, vendor based, systems allows for quick tendering. Cons The system requires annual maintenance fees that are somewhat costly. I am utilizing the system to the maximum amount of users (paid for) and would have pay more if I were to add more users. Review Source AT April T. Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Because I'm happy..." March 2, 2015 4.5 Pros First, I like how responsive this vendor is towards user concerns and input towards a better product. Each employee is very willing to help and answer questions, or record any input to be evaluated for future updates. Second, I like how much this product continues to evolve. When I started using the software three years ago, I only used the estimate portion. Now we have evolved to using it for job cost tracking, dispatch, forms, etc., it is much more convenient being able to use one software to handle a lot of our needs. Cons The only thing I do not like is not having an "undo" button, one like those seen on the Microsoft office softwares. I greatly appreciate the recycle bin feature to help restore items that I've deleted, but I also make many small mistakes or changes that I would easily like to undo. Review Source TS Travis S. Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Experience using B2W has been phenomenal and useful." June 18, 2018 5.0 I am able to easily and effectively perform my job as an estimator. Pros B2W ease of use and ability to update costing on materials, labour and equipment simply. The Item history lookup option on an item is an effective tool. Cons It's in ability to create phases within phases on B2W estimate. When it crashes it crashes numerous times that day. Does not happen very often, but when it does, it does not simply crash one time. Review Source TF Tyler F. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "B2W Estimate" March 24, 2015 4.5 Pros Custom Reporting feature made it possible to customize the reporting and views to the old way we were used to seeing it. It does a really good job of computing all the numbers in a bid item fashion. Tons of ways you can tackle different tasks or multiple items within one parent bid item, phases, alternates, etc. The subcontractor compare tab is a great way to compare item by item, apples to apples of multiple sub quotes. Then with a click of a button it will push them in to your actual bid. Huge time saver! Cons Sometimes on larger bids with hundreds of bid items that are very complex it seems to have a slight lag when doing data entry. That could also be part technical on our side as well. But I need to address this. I guess I'm always shooting for "Very Efficient" in everything I do. Review Source SS Sean S. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good estimating software with many tools" November 10, 2017 4.0 This program works very well with Viewpoint and makes setting up a job in Viewpoint much easier. Pros The program is straight forward to learn, however, there are many features so there is a learning curve. The vendor and subcontractor RFQ is a great feature that makes analysis much easier. There are many reports available. Very helpful software. Cons There is no undo button, so be very careful before you take action. It is somewhat laborious to set up an estimate, a drag and drop feature of tasks or components would speed things up greatly. Review Source Similar Products Featured
