"Great Estimate Building Software"

3.5/5

What do you like best about ProEst?

The software is easy to use with proper training and there is a great deal of information stored with the database. The estimate products and reports have a great appearance and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

The take off portion of the software is basically useless as every item has to be take on separately, there is not a way to breakout multiple items per take off. ie you have to take off the square footage of a room twice for the floor and for the ceiling as the are different lines on the estimate but most of the time the same sf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Thank you for reviewing ProEst and sharing your feedback! We're glad that ProEst has helped you scale your estimating team.

"Easy to use plate form but has a lot of small issues that need to be fixed"

2.5/5

What do you like best about ProEst?

It is user friendly and some of the reports are nice. I wish you could format reports in different ways Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Take off tools and data base aren't the best. Once you do a take off it is very difficult to modify it for waste since the cells are locked in the estimate sheet. I also wish there was a way to program a labor rate and just input Man hours vs having to input the dollar amount Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hope R. of ProEst

Thank you, Will, for taking the time to write a review! We appreciate your feedback.

"KC from Araco Concrete"

5/5

What do you like best about ProEst?

I really like this software and is more realistic with all the costs & productivity of all crews & equipment. It’s not just any on-screen takeoff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Printing reports which have sort types as different section. If there was a Code column in Estimate field, it would have saved time rewriting the sort types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
