### "Great Product"

August 29, 2025

5.0

TCLI has made estimating easier for us. I wish we would have switched to it years ago. It has really sped up our bidding.

Pros

How much time it saves us in bidding on projects. It is a great software that I would recommend to everyone. Our sales director ( JF ) was great to work with. Her and the entire TCLI family have been great.

Cons

Not anything really. The whole process was really easier than I thought. If I did not understand anything, the TCLI family was there for us.

### "Estimating Link - The Way To Go"

January 30, 2025

5.0

Wonderful software, and I truly enjoy working in it every day.

Pros

Adaptability. We bid a wide range of jobs from $10k to $10 Million, and it works well for everything we do.

Cons

My ownership likes to sometimes apply different mark-up to base bid and alternates on a job. It is possible to do it right now, but it isn's very easy.

June 11, 2024

3.0

It has been solid. The customer service is good. I still have a lot to learn about program.

Pros

It is worth the cost. Not the most technical estimating program, however it is the best bang for your buck!

Cons

The tree view seems dated and doesn't return to the bid item after revising.

### "Game Changer"

April 27, 2023

5.0

This product has been a game changer for me. It saves me so much time with adds capacity for me to take on more work and grow my business. It allows me to show clients different options quickly. I can answer questions more intelligently. It overall is the product I needed to hone in the estimating side of my business.

Pros

Cost database, crew building, the ability to change the entire bid without having to go line by line, reporting and proposals.

Cons

Would enjoy more custom reporting options and more flexibility on proposal appearance, additionally being able to save proposal images etc to a company rather than having to change everytime I change a company name in setup would be helpful. All minor stuff! Program is wonderful!

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

Similar features and much more reasonably priced. The customer support was awesome from the start as well and has continued to be.

### "TELI Takes on Small Canadian Civil Company"

June 12, 2023

5.0

My overall experience was great, the company is willing to help out any sized company and from anywhere. They even made the system very Canadian friendly, which I was told was from Canadian clients requesting changes and they were promptly made. This system will cut down my estimating time, will build my confidence when submitting a bid and allow me to track projects against themselves as well as other similar projects.

Pros

Estimating link is straight forward in the way that it builds it's workflow. From the beginning of the project to the proposal, the sequence of data input is very comprehensive. It's easy to see where you may have forgotten items and where you may have overran or overestimated some items. The check bid feature is about as easy to understand as possible which gives you the confidence to bid as quickly as possible. Lastly, the support staff couldn't be easier to reach and couldn't be nicer people. The onboarding session with \[sensitive content hidden\] was not only seamless but it was enjoyable, which in turn motivated me to fully understand the system.

Cons

Honestly, there is very little to dislike. The price point is as affordable as I've seen compared to other systems. It constantly backs up your work and you have the ability to open past versions of that project. It's quick. The only thing that I could see that could be an issue is that the system looks like its from an earlier version of windows, however, the operating ability doesn't feel that way at all.

### "Time is valuable"

February 17, 2024

5.0

The support is the best I have worked with, and I have used a lot of estimating services. Lance, Kathleen, and team are all class acts. TCLI has not stopped at good enough. They are continually improving the user interface. I've been using the service for 8 years and I find little carrots all the time I did not know were in the program.

Pros

Overall, the ease of use is the best feature of TCLI. The better your database and resource library gets, the easier it gets. The level of dedicated support is outstanding. We've all had those late nights wrapping up an estimate and got hung up on something, but that deadline doesn't budge. The TCLI support team has NEVER failed to be there for us, day or night.

Cons

I wish there was a feature in Rate Tables to sort 'utilized' or 'employed' items that are in your bid, with 'quantities employed' and 'rates' columns. I know you can run a report for this, but it would be nice to see it on the screen and click on a unit price for a quick change. Now you have to go back and forth between the rate tables and the pay item or sub-level, searching for the next employed resource. Also, it asks you to post after every change, I wish it would only be required when you exit the Rate Tables and post all changes at once. It just seems like there is a little time wasted there that shouldn't have to be.

After many years working with more expensive platforms I found TCLI and have no desire to go back. Powerful and professional software, easy to use and learn, superb customer support. Give this program a try! You will not be disappointed!

Pros

Easy to use, easy to learn. Similar to other more expensive platforms. Customer support is second to none, always available, and always helpful. Import and export features work seamlessly. Reports/Proposals are professional and easily modified. Previous work, crews, and assemblies can be copied into new proposals so no need to reconstruct your work every job.

Cons

### "Estimating Link user, since 1989"

September 17, 2021

5.0

Dealing with the CLI team over the years has been a pleasure. There are few businesses left, (and I know of no software firms) where, when you call technical support, you are just as likely to speak to the company \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and software developer, as you are a technician. Over the years, I have called and spoken directly to CLI's \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and developer, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] about issues, (generally the importing of data from various DOT's early internal electronic bidding system) or to kick around ideas for what I thought might make the estimating and bidding process more fluid. Most of the issues that we have experienced, that required a call to technical support, were resolved in less than 4 hours. To have the ability to speak directly to a programmer, has in some instances allowed issues to be resolved in a 5 minute phone call, followed by an email containing a "patch" to use, until the permanent fix is incorporated into the next update. Updates containing the permanent repair would often show up within a couple of business days.

Pros

From my very first use of the old .dos program in 1989, Construction Link has been very ease to use, easy to learn, (program updates and applications) and easy to teach, (new employees).

Cons

I would like to see the ability to vary the margin of markup to certain subcontractor quotes. Preferably on the Markup Summary page. But maybe even on the individual SMC tables. There are certain subcontract scopes that are inevitably either high risk or high maintenance from a prime contractor, GC stand point.

### "Estimating Link update"

April 4, 2022

5.0

We've been clients for many years and our company has grown along with them. During that time, the support we have received has always been exemplary. The addition of Kathleen to the team has only increased that level. We would not have the confidence to bid large, complex projects without the help of Estimating Link.

Pros

What seems to be the most useful aspect of this software in our case, is that we can copy and past, past projects that are similar, and create new ones, saving lots of time and effort. In addition, having items already built, with man hours, crews, payroll, et. gives us confidence that all our bases are "covered".

Cons

I don't like the fact that if you have an item that is the same "name" you have to "tweek" it (add a space, dash, et) when adding to your bid. After a bit, you have lots of "items" that look pretty much identical but you were forced to create.

### "Superb estimating software value, a must have for any size contractor. "

July 20, 2022

4.0

Having all your estimates in one place for easy access and review is very important to me. Also, the fact that the "spread sheet estimating" errors are eliminated is great piece of mind.

Pros

Feature rich software that you can easily use to estimate projects of all sizes and scope.

Cons

Wish some of the reports were customizable. Would like to make some of them simpler and be able to eliminate page breaks to make the report less pages.

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

Price was number one reason, but the customer service is beyond a doubt one of the best I have dealt with in my career of estimating and construction management.

### "Best unit price estimating and bidding software in our industry"

August 11, 2023

5.0

We have been using CLI for 20 years. It just keeps getting better.

Pros

The ease of setting up a new job, the ease to add cost to each item (crews, labor, materials, equipment, etc. The “move money” feature is a money maker in disguise.

Cons

I have found nothing not to like. I recently had to get information from a 20 year old backup into the newest version, and all it took was one phone call to \[sensitive content hidden\] to solve the issue.

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

Best value, options, features and easiest to use. It’s a contractor’s best bidding tool.

July 22, 2021

5.0

I have been using Estimating Link for many years and I've found it to be very user friendly and flexible in bidding many different types of construction projects.

Pros

The software is organized in a way that lets you put an estimate together simply & efficiently (rates, item sheets, bid sheet). The software is set up to estimate the same way that you build a job - assign resources (labor, materials, subs, equipment) and production rates.

Cons

I would like to see a digital take-off tool either integrated within the program or through integration with a separate take-off program.

Dealing with the staff when I rarely call for assistance is just fantastic. Everyone is so knowledgeable of their programs and they genuinely care about their clients. There is no sitting on hold like every other remote assistance i have dealt with.

Pros

Cons

There is nothing that i do not like about this software. After having it for a while and using it to bid jobs, i honestly did not see how I ever survived before I found this tool.

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

After discussing the features of this software with the staff it became evident to me that this this program was exactly what i needed to grow my company. It has done exactly that and I have never considered any other product.

March 11, 2021

5.0

The system is simple to use and I rarely, maybe once a year have an issue and when I do, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is quick to figure out what is going on and help solve the problem. Most of the time it's been user error. I think this system is awesome and will continue to use this system here and will invest in the system for my own company when the time comes.

Pros

The ease of being able to copy a previous project and make minor changes and go with it or import line items from other projects to keep from trying to remember what I did the last itme. I bid on avaerage three to six projects a week.

Cons

I honestly don't dislike anything with the system.

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

I did a trial with Bid to Win program to consider purchasing before using or learning The Estimating Link, however Estimating Link is basically the same thing, just the layout of the system may look different, they have the same capabilities and the cost of the Bid to Win program about gave my boss a heart attack. Even if I had the money, I would purchase Estimating Link and save a tremendous amount of maney.

### "Straightforward Estimating "

May 17, 2022

5.0

We first choose Estimating Link around 1988. Initially it was "macro" that used Lotus Symphony. Over the years, CLI has greatly improved and took advantage of the latest technologies in computers and software. Recently we have switched to the Remote Estimating. This allows us to work off-site and ensures our database contains most recent additions and changes.

Pros

At first glance, I like the simplicity of the software - the ease of developing costs and then revising them as necessary. The software fits with how we estimate construction costs. The format is perfect for highway contractors.

Cons

I wish we could extract information from the database to create reports on historical jobs. For example, pull together all the Item Numbers for selected jobs and associated costs estimates. Use that information to analyze past production estimates etc.

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

CLI offered a great product over what was available at the time - mainly spreadsheets. Since then it has only improved and kept up with our needs.

Pros

While researching we found most bid software to be expensive. TCLI is easy to learn and learn. The price is very inexpensive for what we need as a small business.

Cons

The online live trainings to use the software was disorganized and hard to follow unless you already were familiar with the software.

### "Estimating Link Software Review "

May 13, 2021

4.0

Overall, our experience has been very positive. We are building a repository of easily accessible estimates that can be analyzed, compared, and tracked.

Pros

I liked that we could get up and running in a fraction of the time it took to set up other software solutions; it was easy to train others to use; and the customer service staff have always been very accommodating and helpful. Consistently, customer service would not only solve the problem for which I was asking help, but also would make additional suggestions on what we could do with the software.

Cons

Though not really a con, it is probably important to know that the software does not have a take-off module. The estimator inputs take-off quantities done outside the software into the estimate.

Reason for choosing Estimating Link

Lower barriers to entry. Seemed much simpler to set up, use, and maintain. Seemed like an overall better value for the cost. Seemed like less of a risk if it did not work the way we hoped. (It did work out as we hoped.)

The program "thinks" like an estimator would think. That is it is easy to assign the five items almost every bid item would take. Labor, Equipment, Material, Sub-contractor and miscellaneous. I tell people all the time, We have an easy business. You either make a mistake in the estimating or in the field. This along with "Field Link" pretty much give you the feed back on a daily basis so you can address the problem right away.

Cons

On large bids the program is somewhat slow.
