Electrical, data cabling, and low-voltage contractors worldwide depend on the deep industry and technology expertise of ConEst Software Systems to help assure labor and material requirements on every job are complete and accurate.
ConEst’s flagship estimating software, IntelliBid, contains a database of more than 100,000 electrical and datacom material items with more than 50,000 prebuilt assemblies. The unique component to this application is its Smart System Technology which uses built-in NEC tables to make adjustments to an installation that are compliant with the code as well as make automatic adjustments to labor requirements based on an installation’s level of difficulty.
ConEst knows bidding and estimating very well, and does not try to be all things to all people. In the past year ConEst has linked with two technology applications to extend the functionality of IntelliBid.
The first is SureCount Symbol Recognition Software. Users can link symbol counts and measurements from digital plans directly into the estimate, reducing/eliminating the need for manual takeoff for material requirements.
In another partnership, ConEst is taking its PC-based project management system, JobTrac, and connecting it to the Internet through a browser so that all project correspondence and collaboration can occur within the Web-based TRACKpoint system from eSUB, www.esubinc.com, San Diego, Calif.
Constructech editors made ConEst a Company to Watch in 2007. From that time we have watched it gain 20% in revenue, add 530 new users, and continue to roll out functionality that certainly classifies it as Hot in 2008.
