I have used this software online with 5 different companies including my own its very easy to swap back and forth between companies.
Avantages
Sign up, you online quickly and its super easy to setup and if you have a question you get an answer and you get it quick.
Inconvénients
could use some more localized things added as different regions have different things they do due to weather for example.

estimating basics
Publié le 2016-07-27
I bought this after trying several others. As a small business, I couldn't afford to spend a lot of money up front.
Avantages
The estimates seem to be right on for both Materials costs and the labor hours. As my own fault, I don't put enough overhead in the projects.
Inconvénients
I wish I could edit the markups on the alternates individually
I wish I could print out the alternates in detail on a combined report, not separately
.
I wish the tree would expand based on specifics (more like a windows tree) as opposed to scrolling down the whole thing, then having to scroll back up to close.
I wish there was some way to track the projects... i.e. bids submitted, waiting on customer. signed.. completed.

Home Improvement Clear Estimate Review
Publié le 2017-02-27
This is the second time for me using Clear Estimates. After not using the program for a couple of years, I was surprised at the updates made, that made it easier and faster to develop my estimates, and the fact that the cost for the program had remained the same. The support and the new videos are fantastic. I have recommended it to several of my friends, who are also contractors. The nice thing is, the more you use it the faster and easier it gets. I do a lot of the same kind of jobs, and now all I need to do is copy an old estimate when doing a new one. I can see what I estimated on the old one that was high or low and make adjustments and if needed, add or subtract items as needed. This is really made easy with this program, and keeps my estimates more consistent. The Proposal and contract part of the program is great and can be customized with little time and effort. I highly recommend this program over the 3 others I have used. None were this complete or easy to use for the cost.
Avantages
Easy to use, and cost.
Inconvénients
I do Wish it had more small Home Improvement cost items.

works FLAWLESSLY
Publié le 2016-10-01
I've been using "CLEAR ESTIMATES" for about 6 months. I put very little time into learning how to use this software, (I basically jumped right in) and the estimates get done flawlessly. If I have a question I go to the tutorial videos and they walk me right thru it, and if there's a question I can't find an answer to. (Hasn't happened yet) I can press the question mark at the bottom of the page and there's someone from "Clear Estimates" there to answer. They did quite a job building this software and putting all the videos and webinars together. I should also add, the videos and webinars are free. I started out using a different estimating software, from a well known company. It was a huge headache. There was zero support, No training videos, just a class that was available once every 6 months for $500. They can't hold a candle to "Clear Estimates" last estimating software you'll ever need.
Avantages
Professional looking, easy to use. VERY EFFECTIVE

Clear Estimates software review from Wes Ballinger.
Publié le 2016-07-21
The software works great. The templates are very good, but it is also very easy to customize. I am very happy to have the service.

The fact that you have gone online is great. Not needing to backup my database is wonderful.

Great Etimating Software
Publié le 2018-10-04
We have easily conquered the estimating cross training, easy access from any computer, built in adjustable pricing., as a result, of saving time estimating, we are seeing increased closing rates
Avantages
I switched from Xactremodel about 6 months ago, and as a small growing business, I can much easier train Clear Estimate software to other coworkers, plus it is web based which makes it very convenient for any user to access from a web browser. I was a fairly smooth transition, As Clear Estimates is very easy to use.
In reference to how the estimating function works it is fantastic. I am able to set my labor rates and multiply by fractions of the hour-the ability to manipulate the clean template make its very easy for our customers to read and understand, as a result, I believe my closing rates have increased by roughy 10%.
Inconvénients
I really can not think of anything I do not like. Sorry, but I love Clear Estimates

Clear Estimates Review
Publié le 2016-08-17
I am a long time user and have been using Clear Estimates since the first revision. I am very happy with the updates, modifications made over the years. Customer support is the best of any SW company I have ever done business with!
Avantages
Ease of use, able to put estimate together in a modular form. Jack in customer support.

I would like to better control the boiler plate items.

Time saver software
Publié le 2016-07-25
We went from producing our own excel sheets to the Clear Estimates program. What a difference that made in time savings to produce estimate, as well as producing a more accurate estimate.
Avantages
There is a huge database of options with fairly accurate starting points for labor estimates. We are "Jacks of all Trades", so it's difficult to estimate labor without these guidelines.
Inconvénients
I need to educate myself more on templates for time savings. I'm looking forward to watching the free Webinars to learn how to set these templates up.

Clear Estimates is number 1 of it's kind!
Publié le 2016-09-10
Avantages
This software site has a definite ease of accessibility, you can quickly visit the app and input customer information and pull up a detail proposal on you project in a respectively short amount of time
Inconvénients
Only real drawback I've seen is that the templates and available data need to be added to. There is a mountain of data available to provide quotes on projects but there could be much much more, I've many times run into a situation where that pricing simply isn't here. However this app is the best in it's field based on price, accessibility, and output of the required paperwork once you've properly setup your account with your personal information.

Overall good estimating software but lacks estimating for larger projects.
Publié le 2017-12-06
Avantages
Easy to learn and use then customize the quotes.
Does feature pre-built estimate groups for certain projects.
Customer support is great, and after hours questions or concerns are addressed first thing next morning.
Inconvénients
Spend a lot of time adding custom line items.
Prices for planning and permitting are grossly underestimated, planning is about half of what it should be and permitting is a third of what it should be.
Online based so it becomes slow at times when the servers have a lot of users on at the same time.

What I Was Looking For
Publié le 2019-07-03
After setting up our company info and playing with it a bit, I had a few issues to work out. I was able to call and have someone walk me through what I had missed in instructions. I like the formatting of the invoices and this is what I was looking for.
Avantages
Ease of use once the company basic info has been set up.
Inconvénients
Monthly fee is a little pricey for smaller companies like ours.

New kid in town
Publié le 2020-11-03
Since opening my buisness Jan 2020 . This has been my saving grace. Thank you for the free.trial thank you for writing a program I can learn on the fly . I love it
Avantages
I would describe this software as organized and simple. Being an electrical contractor the ease of converting this program into what I need was easy. Any questions I had either my teenager would figure it out for me or an email to Support and they are back with you that day sometimes within the hour. Very friendly and they speak on my level.
Inconvénients
My only request for a change is the ability to accept payments. I would also like a way to see more than 4 items on my list at a time. I really don't many complaints

Publié le 2016-07-25
Never heard about web based upgrade. was using old version till saw Wyatt's presentation using the upgraded system. Would have been nice to hear from CE that this was available. Much better application for my business.

Great product
Publié le 2019-07-03
Overall happy with products. Just have a few kinks they can work out.
Avantages
They continually update cost of materials
Inconvénients
The invoicing could be more user friendly. The proposal is already done and payment schedule is already in so i would like for the invoice to already be ready. I have tongo back in and insert numbers. Somewhqt annoying but its better than most. Just think for the cost that part could be improved on.

Knowledge and process of pricing in areas we don't work in enough.
Avantages
The customer service with this software is awesome! There's a lot of feedback from a "Real" person.

Well, at the beginning, it needs just a little modification on pricing compared to my company's pricing, but overall I believe that tweaking will yield great benefits and quicker turn around time on estimates. We are keeping one of our accounts because we know it will bring about higher quality estimates and a better overall competitive edge in our industry.

Big relief if you need quick estimates
Publié le 2018-12-24
Avantages
I always believe estimating software cannot make decent estimates, but I am wrong this time. Clear estimates give you better understanding of estimates and generates one at simple couple of clicks. A quick customized estimate is the only thing that a small contractor would need. This is neat and reliable. Would recommend to all estimators
Inconvénients
Once a labour portion is added to your master database it uses it for all of the project created from that time on wards. Perhaps I am not getting it right, or may be its my limitations to use it, but if different labour rates for different projects in specific town could be added, it would be much helpful.

Good estimation software with a solid cost database
Publié le 2021-03-03
Avantages
I like the way the Remodelmax cost database is organized with parts grouped into categories and subcategories. Standard Sections as reusable components on top of those parts makes it easy to create any estimate from scratch.
Inconvénients
I feel that the UI is a bit flunky and old fashioned. It makes it difficult to perform basic and repeating actions with ease. At least I am not aware of keyboard shortcuts that can make power users perform well.
