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.

About

Zip Takeoff is a browser-based takeoff tool for sitework and heavy civil contractors who need accurate quantities without the cost of legacy desktop software. Upload plan PDFs and measure areas, lengths, and counts with vertex-level editing; automatic area pickup extracts vector geometry from supported PDFs for fast editable measurements, and scaled satellite imagery covers sites where plans aren't available. Group every measurement by pay item, turn areas into volumes and material weights with depth and density inputs, keep Base Bid and Alternates separate, and export pay-item totals to Excel with a marked-up plan set. Nothing to install — runs on Mac and Windows in the browser. Free plan: 10 projects, 5 GB storage, 1 estimator seat, full measurement tools and XLSX export. Pro: $39/mo per estimator seat; viewer seats free.
