TurboBid Testimonials

"If you visit electrical forums on the internet you’ll find the same two questions keep getting asked over and over again. How long will it take to complete the electrical for a type of home and how much should I charge to wire this house. Having good estimating software and using it means you’ll know how long the job will take. You won’t have to ask this question on a forum and get twenty different answers from twenty different people. Electrical contractors starting out will spend thousands of dollars on tools and equipment but are reluctant to spend anything on estimating and accounting software. In my opinion these are the most important tools an electrical contractor can own. I’ve tried several estimating programs ranging in price from free to a couple thousand dollars. I wasn’t satisfied with any of these. TurboBid simplifies and automates the whole process from the take-off to submitting the bid proposal. TurboBid is an excellent program at a very affordable price that will more than pay for itself in time. It will save time estimating jobs and produce profitable bids. I highly recommend TurboBid combined with Mike Holt’s Illustrated Guide to Electrical Estimating."

"I am a new contractor, but not new to the electrical business. I knew when I went into business for myself I needed an estimating program that would work for "residential". I shopped the "other" big name estimating programs and I found that they were mainly commercial material database programs. TurboBid is definitely able to do both residential and commercial estimating; but it is much more than a estimating program. I am able to let my customers see exactly what they are getting with room by room take-offs, option pricing, proposal inclusions and a defined contract pricing print out. TurboBid has allowed me to show the customer a very personable and professional image of our company. I do enjoy the continued support of the TurboBid Team taking the time to incorporate my ideas on the forum to make the program and material database even better. 6/5/08 - Follow-up message received from Craig: My business has really taken off the last three months and I have to credit that to TurboBid as my customers like my thoroughness as well as a detailed estimate. I know I have won bids against some of my local competitors by being able to present a great proposal."
