About

Elecosoft Bidcon is a construction cost estimating tool that helps professionals generate accurate, detailed cost estimates and quantity take-offs to support bids, cost plans, and 5D planning workflows throughout a project’s lifecycle. It includes powerful core features such as customizable cost libraries that let users build and manage detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, plant, and subcontractor rates or import data from Excel; global search and filter tools for fast data analysis; and import/export functions that simplify moving data to and from external files. It also supports tender management by sending enquiries to multiple subcontractors and comparing responses to enhance decision-making, plus in-built templates to reduce errors and improve consistency in estimating. Advanced capabilities enable users to publish estimates to the web for authorized browser access and set user accounts and permissions for secure, controlled collaboration.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Free: Community Edition doesn’t cost me anything. It’s free and easy to use. Customizable: It looks like I can customize a lot.
  • Big Time-Saver: Back in the day, I’d spend hours doing manual calculations. With MaxCut, I punch in the details, and it spits out everything I need. Fits My Workflow: What I love is that MaxCut lets you tweak it to fit how you work. I’ve set it up just how I like it, which makes life a whole lot easier when I’m juggling different types of materials and projects. Useful Reports: I never thought I’d care about reports, but honestly, seeing where my materials are going and how much I’m spending has helped me stay on top of my costs. Saves on Materials: MaxCut helped me cut down on waste. And with prices the way they are, every little bit I save makes a difference. Solid Support: Anytime I’ve hit a snag, the support team has been quick to help me out.

Cons

  • Still early in using it, does all I need it to do for now.
  • Windows Only: MaxCut only works on my Windows machine, I would love it to work on my Mac as well. Limited CNC Support: If you’re working with CNC machines, MaxCut’s is a bit lacking. It’s not as smooth or comprehensive as it could be. That hasn’t impacted me right now as I do most of my cutting on my table saw but it is something for them to work on.
