What SharpeSoft Estimator is
SharpeSoft Estimator is web-based, cloud estimating software for heavy civil construction contractors. It supports digital takeoff, bid management, labor and material costs, and an assembly library. Estimators can divide bid items into unlimited levels and sub-item levels, then reuse saved bid items, crews, and assemblies containing labor, equipment, materials, trucking, and other components. Multiple estimators can work on the same job, including one bid item, with changes saved in real time. Trench Profiler calculates trench excavation, spoil, fill, and pipe quantities and can update related estimate quantities. Users can request vendor and subcontractor quotes, compare responses side by side, and load selected quotes into estimates. Excel import and export covers jobs, bid items, subcontractors, cost database tables, and other data. Hundreds of customizable reports can include a company logo in proposals. Administrators can set individual or group permissions. The software uses a custom company database, Microsoft SQL Server, and listed integrations including Sage, ComputerEase, Viewpoint, and Excel. Pricing is on request; a free trial requires no credit card.
