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.

National Estimator Cloud
National Estimator Cloud allows you to create cost estimates directly from your web browser, featuring ten Craftsman cost databases. The accuracy of these estimates is limited by the fact that the estimators who compiled the figures lack knowledge of your subcontractors, suppliers, project plans, specifications, applicable building codes, and your workforce. It is important to note that we do not guarantee that construction will adhere to these prices, as no universal cost applies to every job. Effective estimates are tailored specifically to individual projects and contractors, relying on sound judgment, thorough analysis, and extensive experience. You can consider National Estimator Cloud as a valuable tool for forming a well-informed view of costs associated with your projects. This web-based platform eliminates the need for any downloads or discs, making it accessible from virtually anywhere. Additionally, National Estimator Cloud monitors completed and billed work as well as outstanding tasks that are yet to be billed, providing a comprehensive overview of project progress. For financial tracking, QuickBooks complements this by managing payments made and amounts still owed, allowing you to easily compare job costs against revenue. Ultimately, combining both tools enhances your ability to manage project finances effectively and make informed decisions.
