Very intuitive to use,organizes everything and makes it printable. Free and easy to understand demonstrations, good customer service. I had my problem solved in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

could be a little less expensive and the set up itself can be more user friendly. Changing mark ups created some issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using the program to gather costs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes be a difficult program to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helpful from the first look at the drawings to the end of the project, great for the smallest jobs all the way to multi-million dollar endeavors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QB has quirks like any other software in this category, but the fewest process-breaking of the group.

Initial setup can be cumbersome for anyone not familiar with the software, but OnCenter is very helpful in this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How simple is it is to connect with OST and price our entire project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real dislike I have is that after the latest update there are many things that lag. Changing the mark ups after all conditions are priced lags every time. Also, sometimes editing conditions that are still connected to OST take quite a while to process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbid takes all the thinking out of bidding. Developing conditions to meet the needs of the project is a huge time saver which allows estimators to accurately give pricing to customers in a timely manner. Simple adjustments on the productions makes it easy for the user to understand the the time it takes for a Job to be completed. Having quick reports for stocking materials, getting vendor quotes with the eQuotes feature shaves time on ordering and able to get up to date pricing quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only complaint that I could have with the software would be not being able to have additional template features for the proposals.. Adding code to the template that could call out specific conditions could help save some time on giving breakouts of certain conditions/alternates. I have not found a way to add in code to give the description of the Alternates in the proposal. Bouncing back and forth between the notes and the conditions cost time to go in and out of the windows to fully give the scope of work needed for the project.

Intuitive and simple to use. Lots of redundancy for user preference. Customization is easy. Great training videos. Tech help is very good. Project express updates have been very good. Cut/Paste/Duplicate operations save huge amounts of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New Releases and Updates are sometimes "buggy". Too many "bells and Whistles"- a little less is more. Account Representative turn over seems high. Not fully compatible with all industry accounting software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intuitive user interface. Much like the other On-Center products, after a couple hours of how-to videos, my team was off to the races. Labor, material, and equipment database is easily maintained. Excellent product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick Bid is mostly geared toward self-performance. I would love to see a true subcontractor category in the unit cost data base, rather than breaking all assemblies into labor, material, and equipment. Though, if mainly self-perform, this is the product for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick bid allows me to concentrate on finding the complex items within a bid, by allowing me to set up standard assemblies for the items that occur most of the time in a bid. It is configurable to quickly allow for the differences that are in every market I am pricing in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is really nothing about the software I dislike, however the most common complaint I hear from others is the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes me look go to my clients. It certainly helps to validate my change order request with it's many reports. It plays a big roll in saving money on material with the e quote system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no back button in Quick Bid. I would like to be able to have a longer description in the condition name. There is lots of space for notes, but the notes don't show up on the page when you choose to shows the conditions on the highlighted drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It Interacts with on screen take off. It means we don't need to transferred any measurement (or quantites) from on screen take off - Quick bid takes care of it. If you are doing similar projects frequently, you can set up a template to include frequently used items, then the template can be used over and over again. It saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I do a printout under the Markups tabs, the printout doesn't show everything that I can see on the screen. It doesn't even show the total amount of the bid - the pie chart, the markup details, the Additional Markups, and the total amount of the bid are all missing from the printout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way Quick Bid has databases that are easily manageable, and you can create your own assemblies to suite your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like it sometimes when the QB becomes detached from the OST portion of the job, and when trying to reconnect them, I end up getting different job numbers being put on them and it can be difficult getting back to where I was with out the potential of making a mistake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like the fact that i can create custom reports that only provide the information i select. i also like that i can adjust almost anything to create items that are specific to our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When calling support they mention that it only works properly about 50 percent of the time...

My biggest issue is the support that you pay for is lacking and they basically try to talk you into moving in a direction that they then tell you they do not support but is your only option. In our situation we had multiple users at same time and started having issues they said it was an access issuer and we should go to SQL we go to an SQL based database and they tell us they do not offer support for SQL. kinda wrong in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite feature is the real-time link to On-Screen Takeoff. Added or deleted takeoff automatically updates the connected pricing in QuickBid. This makes updating my estimates much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some non-standard items require manual entry. I wish that it were easier to manually enter atypical data. Occasionally I have to force items into producing the result that I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick, easy and accurate. Emphasis on easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Minor details that may be better for me but not necessarily better for you. I would like under labor codes that

the window opens at all labor codes, then check down from there as opposed to opening at most used labor code and needing to click up to all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the available database items available from top industry manufacturers that you can download directly into the database. I also like the equote feature to send quotes directly to the suppliers and accepting the quotes automatically inputting into you bid if you choose thus by passing any manual entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish more manufacturers would share their items list with OnCenter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how it connects to the On Screen Takeoff program, and does all of the math for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how easy it is to make a mistake. But that goes hand-in-hand with working at a quicker pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The use of a large database which was custom programmed to fit my needs make estimating projects fast. Any common materials that are used over and over are there at a click of a button for reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certain tools could be improved on but most tools are very good. The first few years of using the software their were very few updates. They have gotten a lot better with rolling out new updates and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. Ability to communicate with OnScreen. Easy to teach new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will not communicate with our Timerline software with out additional setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I first started using QB when it was DOS program. I like what it the name implys it does help make it a Quick Bid. The added features like emailing quotes to suppliers and the availability of Data Bases from QB.

Also the technical support has always been excellent from the technical side to help with actual use by folks

who were previously in the trades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really anything that concerns me at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of adding drawings and modifying take-offs after a bid is completed. I also like the training videos which helped me get started by watching them after work hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the program was browser based so I could login to the program from any computer without using VPN or Citrix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like the custom user conditions and the ability to change prices for materials and labor on the fly. It is pretty accurate in terms of measurement and calculations. It's pretty easy to add multiple users to the sql database. The bids are very accurate and the software is largely stable. The SQL database is very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the Quickbid and OnScreenTakeoff lose synchronization and the SQL support is pretty poor, you better have a network admin that knows what they are doing... but the thing we dislike the most is the price, this product is ridiculously over-priced and you need a fairly powerful computers and server to run it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick Bid 4 is a very powerful software. With the ability to have a master list and database for pricing, it has changed the way we bid and has made our proposals so much more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only dislikes of this software is the reporting and exporting of data to the field and accounting software. Reports provide a lot of information but can be over whelming to workers in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Quick Bid is the speed, accuracy and ease of use of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike. The software has fit our needs for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to plan, manage bids, get accounting projections, send e-quotes, and provides searchability on design and workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its inability to use with various browsers, manual is very overwhelming and instructions sometimes are difficult to understand. If using a small device, such as a tablet, difficulty in being able to zoom sometimes is an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
