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.

Not just a company trying to build something that they think will solve problems that they don't even know exist. They also answered their phone when I called! Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Needed something more robust and professional looking.

BM Brad M. VP - Project Management Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ConGenius is a 10/10 product! " September 20, 2024 5.0 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 . Switched from [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) ConGenius was the right product at the right time for our company. BT was not delivering what it need to for the cost.

Co-founder Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best estimating software on the market" September 17, 2024 5.0 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.

Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Must have software " February 20, 2025 5.0 I can’t recommend congenius enough. Efficient software for estimating. Take a little time up front and you can build out assemblies, what your proposals look like, and every estimate from then on only takes a couple minutes. I even uploaded blueprint into the software and had linear feet, door count, window count, and wall square footage put together and an estimate sent off to the customer within 10-15 minutes. Must have for a contractor. Pros Ability to upload blueprints for estimate. Cons Takes a little bit to get used to up front as you’re creating your items and assemblies. Review Source Response from ConGenius February 25, 2025 Thank you for the review, Landon! We're thrilled to hear how ConGenius is helping you streamline estimates and save time. It’s great to see the payoff from setting up assemblies and using digital. We are here if you need anything! -Kinsey RD Ralph D. Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Congenius review" September 17, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Response from ConGenius September 23, 2024 Thank you for your review, Ralph! We're thrilled to hear that you're finding ConGenius easy to use and that it's helping simplify and speed up your bidding process after generating assemblies. Your feedback about a PDF search tool is incredibly valuable—we're always looking for ways to improve, and we'll definitely take this into consideration for future updates. AM Angel M.

September 17, 2024 5.0 I have had an excellent experience with the Congenius software Pros Congenius has been an excellent fit for our company.

It’s the answer for taking a contractor/construction business from paying the bills to actually adding profit into your company. Pros The overall ease and user friendliness of the product is incredible and being able to save previously entered information for future bids is a major time saver.
