"We are a high end custom home builder that also does some commercial work. BidScreen XL works well with our Excel spreadsheets. I like using Excel for estimating rather than the complicated database programs. BidScreen is a handy simple tool. I don't want to recommend it however, because I don't want our competitors using the product and becoming more efficient. Just kidding. BidScreen XL is a very good program."
"As a general contractor, I use BidScreen XL for the architectural takeoffs. BidScreen works really well and it is worth the money. I've tried many programs in the past including Timberline. BidScreen with Excel is the best by far."
