TurboBid Estimating Reviews

“One of the most accurate project cost estimations!

Pros

It amazes me how accurate the estimates are when I compare them with the actual ones at the end of the project. TurboBid usually gives out the closest estimate to the actual costs. Although I have only used it for small projects (houses), I believe it is possible to expand its use to larger projects.

Cons

For me, it was simply too much to take in at first because there are so many things you can do with it. Also, the customer support is good, but the time it takes to respond to minor queries is painfully slow, at least in my specific situation.

“One of the best estimation software, a perfect allrounder

Pros

It is great that I can use TurboBid for all sorts of construction jobs I work on, ranging from residential to commercial construction and remodeling or service work. And then theres the way it is set up beautifully, like a flow chart,​ so that you dont miss anything when progressing through your bidding process. Also, the bid is far more accurate than what you get with other solutions. Lastly, the ease of use is commendable. Using the software comes naturally to you, and if not, the excellent customer support team is always available to go the extra mile.

Cons

Theres very little when it comes to pointing out the cons, to the point that it feels like Im nitpicking. But there are some improvements that can be made, like the inability to rework your quantities before finalizing a purchase. Or that the user experience is kind of cluttered in a sense and you have to go through individual items in the assemblies to get to where you want. But these issues are very easily solvable, and Ive heard theyre planning some upgrades to fix them.

“TurboBid has helped growing my business

Pros

Started and electrical business with no experience in bidding. TurboBid has helped a lot and even a layperson like me can use it to bid effectively.

Cons

Setting up assemblies is a bit confusing. But im sure the customer support can help me with that.

“New to this software, loving it so far

Pros

I am a newbie in the field of estimation and Turbobid has made my job so much easier!

Cons

The only negative I have found is that it is I guess made for pros. It is too much for a newbie to take in and start working right away. Customer support is great though.

“Very good software to make pipe estimates

Pros

I have been using it for about 6 months and everything is great. The best thing I noticed is that their database quickly reflects the price variations of items in the market.

Cons

I found the customer support to be a bit slow in my case.

“Faster estimate completion time

Pros

It comes with a great formal proposal feature. Saves you a lot of time and presents everything neatly to your customers in a very understandable format.

Cons

Navigation through the assemblies is tricky. I would rather like a search bar to directly go to where I want.
