Bid4Build has been told to be the easiest, yet most advanced, construction estimating program out on the net market for its low price. It's suited for almost any residential construction, remodeling projects at home, estimating the insurance, and most commercial construction. It has won a rank under 2 for the Top Ten Reviewers' Choice Award. This program's advanced database, covering most materials, construction divisions, and the basics, lets everyone compile close estimates for a wide variety of projects. Not to mention, Bid4Build has an "Estimate Advisor Wizard" that will give you a tutorial with five steps of a process for creating an estimate. Another addon is an extensive item cost database that can be edited or customized by deleting, changing, or adding line item entries-or the costs. Its features are one of the most advanced, useful, and powerful features. A quoted "must have" and "must use" for almost any program of estimating.

Bid4Build acquired most of the exact same features customers found in other programs that were far more expensive, not to mention quite a few features even THOSE programs do not support.
The installation of the product has been said to be incredibly easy to install and has yet to run into any problems. It contains 14 chapters for Introduction and Getting Started, helpful on getting yourself started with such an advanced program. Every screen has the infamous question mark icon to click if you need to view help on concerning any item on the current screen. It also has an FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions, in case you have a question they knew you might have asked and even a fantastic (and very helpful) Interactive Training Tutorial.
Bid4Build is basically very well thought out and incredibly user-friendly in its packages, attractive for many customers and definitely the smaller or small-to-medium corporations that have yet to complete a full staff of estimators.

Although it may take a day or so to get used to learning, I'd have to give this product a 4.5/5 star rating. Definitely recommended.
