"GC take on Congenius"
Overall: Amazing customer support, reasonable pricing, and overall a well-built product that works!
Pros: I have been using ConGenius for over a year now as a General Contractor. This software has saved me so much time and money! I am able to win more jobs at higher prices because my bids look so clean, concise, and professional. My time to complete bids is typically under an hour and sometimes less than 15 minutes, saving me so much office time. Highly recommend it!
Cons: A little bit of a learning curve but that is going to be the case with any estimating software.

"ConGenius is a 10/10 product! "
Overall: First class! [sensitive content hidden] are open to feedback, care about their customers and are always looking to build a better product.
Pros: ConGenius best features are the ease of use. The onboarding process for many builder software products are a high ceiling to bring to operational use. Not ConGenius! In a matter of minutes you will be ready to build out your templates and send estimates.
Cons: I would like to see a features for Project management daily reports. Not complicated. Just simple records for PMs and or staff to records daily operations .

"The best estimating software on the market"
Overall: I have worked at ConGenius for almost 3 years and am honored to work with a team with this level of grit and determination. I am so excited for the future.
Pros: In full transparency, I work at ConGenius, so take it or leave it. I have never worked with a group of people that care as deeply about contractors building a better business as the team at ConGenius does. ConGenius is the the most user friendly and powerful estimating software on the market to date. I'm really excited about the innovation and features that are on our future roadmap and making an impact on people that build our cities in a positive way. What makes it different? Most software is built by a team of engineers trying to build software for a problem they don't understand (which is not their fault). ConGenius is actually designed and architected by [sensitive content hidden], a tech entrepreneur who has grown up in the trades and actually owned and operated a remodeling company. Check out our podcast "The Contractor Commute" for business tips and insights for small construction companies.
Cons: I wish it wasn't so hard to build truly impactful and useful software, but if it was easy, everyone would do it.

"Congenius review"
Overall: Overall, Congenius is a very useful tool that has saved a lot of time and money!
Pros: I like that the software is easy to use. It takes some time to generate assemblies however, once generated they make bidding simple and fast.
Cons: The only downside is not having a pdf search tool. That would help with finding text that pertains to your particular scope of work.
