## National Construction Estimator Reviews
  ### 1. Serves its purpose but a little clunky

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2018

**What do you like best about National Construction Estimator?**

Smart Contractor is great for setting up a project budget and tracking everything involved in the workflow process from start to finish.  It gives great clarity to job costing as well as a live analysis of costs to date as well as forecasting.  We sync with Quickbooks and the flow through to AP minimizes error in job costing and payments.

**What do you dislike about National Construction Estimator?**

The software is a little clunky when moving from one module to the next.  There are also limitations to what is seen in the reports module and we really wish we could add/remove data from reports instead of having fixed items.  Also, if any items need to be reversed from Quickbooks, it's a multi-step process instead of one to two steps, which can be frustrating.

**Recommendations to others considering National Construction Estimator:**

Make sure you take full advantage of the trial period.  The software is great, but ensure you like the sync with Quickbooks.

**What problems is National Construction Estimator solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Job costing and budgeting.  It has streamlined our process in job costing, as well as giving real time visilibility to where we are at in our budget at any given moment.
