It also allows you to download your pdf prints . > > **Cons**: It would be nice to be able to use it for invoicing. > > I am able to turn in bids within almost a day if not two. ----- ### "Electrical Estimates" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *July 2, 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best Bid has increased my ability to produce accurate estimates quickly. I wear all of the Management hats in my company. In this past this has caused me to have to no-bid some larger protects. That is not the case now. In the past two weeks I have bid 6 projects and won 4. The other two are still pending. > > **Cons**: The data base takes a little time use to learn, but it is very complete and easy to edit. It even has PVC-Coated rigid conduit in it. You can start "Driving this software right out of the Box". No training sessions need. They are available if you are read the directions first type of person. > > \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] at Best Bid has been Excellent to work with. Always answers my question timely. ----- ### "Simple To Use- The Complete Package" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *December 24, 2018* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been an electrical industry expert for over 30 years and author many articles and books on electrical codes and estimating. I have used a wide variety of estimating software in my 30 years and the Best Bid Hybrid Pro is by far the easiest and quickest on the market. Regardless of the size of the project the Best Bid software makes it easy and painless. > > **Cons**: I am unable to think of any "cons" at this time. The price is so affordable that the only con may be for the company as they could probably charge twice what they do and it would still be a bargain. > > As an electrical educator, I have taught over 40,000 students in my time. When I talk estimating to folks I want to show them something simple and easy to understand. The complexity of a software means the difference in using it and putting it on the shelf to collect dust. I can promise you that will not the case with the Best Bid Hybrid Pro software because it is so easy to use and is so amazing affordable that it is a no-brainer for any electrical contractor. ----- ### Review — 5.0/5 > **Chase** | *August 30, 2011* > > At Chase Power Solutions we provide a full line of electrical services and installations from high end apartment complexes to commercial and industrial projects. We also provide security, data, and telephone systems. We have been using another system for 3 years. We were convinced by the company that this was the best approach to estimating. After 3 years of paying for the original purchase price, extra seats, plus tech support fees and yearly up-dates we had a fire that destroyed our computers. To our surprise the company basically said we had to start all over from scratch. Yes we were upset\! We just purchased the Best Bid Electrical Estimating Software a few months ago and we kept looking for the complicated screens and choices that were used to but they just were not there. After we removed what we were taught from the other company we are now able to complete an estimate in no time. It took about 2 phone calls to tech support, which is free, and we knew everything that we needed to know about the system. Best of all everyone at Best Bid has an electrical background so they know firsthand what you need. As the owner I love the 1 time cost with no extra fees that never stop. My estimators love the simplicity and flexibility. Overall from what we were used to this experience could not be better. ----- ### "AMAZING ESTIMATING PROGRAM\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *July 5, 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The incredible help through tutorials and tech support. > > **Cons**: The resolution could be a little better on take offs. But still really great. > > My profits have increased and my estimating time has been cut in half or more. Some estimates would be impossible to bid without this software. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2058123/best-bid-electrical-estimating?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2058123/best-bid-electrical-estimating) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
