About

Clear Estimates is a cloud-based construction estimating software solution that empowers remodellers and contractors by helping them determine project costs, maintain a project and/or customer database, manage and customize a part library, and produce proposals efficiently. As an online, cloud-based application, Clear Estimates is accessible through any web browser with the use of any mobile device. The solution also provides customizable inbuilt templates for cost estimation of various job types and offers a rich set of features that include project management, template management, proposal generation, price books, cost database, labor cost reporting, and more.

About

FinoraDesk is estimating, invoicing and bookkeeping for contractors, and it works where the job is. Install it on your phone from the browser and price a job on the spot: add the lines, apply the tax, send a branded PDF before you leave the driveway — offline, no signal needed. Won the job? The estimate becomes an invoice in a click. Sales tax applies to materials and not to labor, the way contracting work is actually taxed. Recording income and expenses takes seconds — pick a category and type the amount, and the app knows which IRS line it belongs to, so year end is a filled Schedule C worksheet instead of a shoebox. No sign-up to start, no bank connection, nothing on a server, one-time price.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very simple to navigate and populate estimates. Great time saver especially when you are always on the go. Excellent customer service. Always very responsive and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this software.
  • Everything. The best about the product is that if there is something that you do not under stand or need help with, the team, and owner will help you basically immediately. (Yes the get to have a life also they are off for the Sabbath and Saturday.)
  • Customer service is exceptional. I am not tech savvy and Michael took extensive time to explain it thoroughly. Every time I contact him he promptly answers my questions. The program has streamlined the estimating process for me.
  • Pre loaded bids. Capability of changing pricing and to change the % of markup on each line item in addition to one click mark up of entire project. Great search feature as i the addition of alternate bids. Up to date import of material & labor for any city. Most cost effective software I have found.
  • It does almost all the work and thinking for you. If only I could get it to do the physical work for me. I have been lost in the past but Clear Estimates has shown me the easier way. I don’t dread having to do estimates now.

Cons

  • No cons to report. If anything not having an actual mobile app but you can download to your mobile Home Screen for easy access.
  • Some additional items need to be added that are very standard in construction. Such as interior caulking of trim per lin. foot. However it is easy to add this yourself as a part that is saved.
  • I couldn't figure it out by myself and was frustrated, but Michael gave me all the time i need to explain it to me.
  • Can not copy/duplicate a line item in a proposal to the same proposal only other proposals.
  • Some areas that I couldn’t find out if or how to do something. For example I wanted to print out the page that is more descriptive. Like the Projects page where I pick from the part library.
