Description

Designed for heavy civil construction bidding and estimating, B2W Estimate software allows contractors to bid quickly, accurately and with strategy. Pre-populate a central database with cost data, structures, and labor costs for tasks, materials, and equipment, and then use these building blocks in order to create bids. B2W Estimate offers enterprise-class performance and scalability, combined with a Windows look & feel and construction logic. Multiple estimators can work simultaneously on a bid at the same time, whether they are working on a pay-item, WBS or hybrid bid. Mobile estimating, vendor management, cross-bid analysis, reporting, and subcontractor management are just a few of the additional features. The B2W Software One Platform allows the B2W Estimate to communicate job details directly to B2W applications. This information can be used for field tracking and scheduling. The software integrates with the DOT electronic bidding system and more than 30 accounting/ERP platforms, including Viewpoint, Oracle Dexter + Chaney, Found, and more than 30 other platforms such as Dexter + Chaney, Dexter + Chaney, Found, and Dexter + Chaney.
