"Exactly as Promised "
5/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

"Simply the best"
5/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

5/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

"BQ Experience"
4/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

"Thought I was using the best out there until I used OST and Quick Bid"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

"Not as good as it could be."
2/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

"Quick Bid is an essential pricing tool "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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.

"The best estimating software in the business for commercial wall and ceiling contractors."
5/5
What do you like best about Quick Bid?

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.

What do you dislike about Quick Bid?

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