Estimating and bidding software for construction companies
About Estimating Link
Designed for unit price and lump sum bidding, Estimating Link is a complete estimating and bidding software. It is ideal for users that need a fast, effective way to bid heavy highway, environmental, bridges, site work and civil projects, and for both state and private commercial work.
Estimating Link uses three main components that operate together to simplify the flow and process for developing winning proposals. Store and reuse estimates, items, rates, crews, assemblies, templates, catalogs, vendors, customers, etc. Re-use task data from job to job and scale it. Quantities adjust and labor and equipment costs will automatically scale to the amount of time needed.
Small jobs can be quickly pulled together without any special setup processes. You can easily use bid items from previous jobs and print the proposal. You can manually enter bid prices without the need to perform any cost workups at all. You can literally bid a small job in a matter of minutes.
