Description

Pro-Est HVAC serves as a comprehensive estimating tool for HVAC projects, featuring capabilities for pipe work, sheet metal, and an Excel recap sheet. This program is designed to be affordable, user-friendly, and adaptable, functioning seamlessly on both 32-bit and 64-bit processors as well as on operating systems such as Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Users can select from four distinct methods for estimating sheet metal, with two options incorporating shop labor and two that exclude it. Additionally, labor can be quantified in either pounds per hour or linear feet per hour, enhancing the program's versatility. The various methods available for sheet metal estimating encompass elements like liner, duct wrap, sealer, SMACNA pressure classes, reinforcement options (including Duct Mate and TDF), accessories, snaplock, and spiral configurations. Users have the option to incorporate additional reinforcement, liner, insulation, and accessories beyond those that come preinstalled, ensuring a tailored estimating experience. Importantly, all associated costs and labor productivity metrics are fully adjustable, allowing for precise financial planning. This flexibility makes Pro-Est HVAC an invaluable tool for HVAC professionals looking to streamline their estimating process.

Description

TurboBid founder Bill Ruffner discovered in 2007 that necessity is indeed the mother of invention. He knew that the best way to estimate his jobs was to use a computer. He is a contractor with over 25-years of experience. Problem? He couldn't find a estimating program that met his specific requirements. He decided enough was enough. He decided to create his own estimating software that could be used to estimate all types work, including residential, commercial, remodel, and service work. TurboBid is much more user-friendly than other estimating software. It can be used to estimate all types of work (residential and commercial, new construction, remodeling, flat rate pricing, etc.) and it produces a superior bid package.
