I had a lot of trouble using HCSS Dispatcher. > > Loved it for the first 20 years that I used it. Like I said, once they get large, the little guy doesn't matter anymore. ----- ### "Efficient Estimating Collaboration with Time Saving Features" — 5.0/5 > **Josie** | *7 April 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am not the main estimator at my company, so working under our lead estimator in HeavyBid is very efficient. He is able to enter all of our equipment and materials into HeavyBid with pricing already included, so all I need to do is add the hours and quantities. This makes the estimating process much faster and easier to manage. HeavyBid is also very helpful because we often perform similar types of work repeatedly. The ability to copy an existing estimate, assign it to a new job, and simply adjust the quantities or production values saves a significant amount of time and helps keep our estimates consistent. > > **Cons**: The main thing I dislike about HeavyBid is the process of saving a completed estimate. I wish there was a way to save the estimate directly to my Google Drive. Having to manually export and then upload the file adds an extra step to the process. Direct integration with Google Drive would make storing, sharing, and organizing completed estimates much more efficient. > > Overall, my experience with HeavyBid has been very positive. Even though I am not the main estimator at my company, the program is very user friendly for supporting the estimating process. Our lead estimator is able to input equipment, labor, and material costs, which allows me to easily add hours and quantities without having to build everything from scratch. This makes collaboration simple and keeps our estimates organized and consistent. HeavyBid is especially helpful because we often perform similar types of work repeatedly. The ability to copy a previous estimate, rename the job, and adjust quantities or production rates saves a significant amount of time and reduces the chance of errors. This feature helps keep our workflow efficient and allows us to focus more on reviewing project details rather than rebuilding estimates each time. ----- ### "Heavy Bid is a WIN\!" — 4.0/5 > **Alicia** | *9 June 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the seamless assimilation between HeavyBid and our software and payroll systems. Everything transitions smoothly saving our team so much time\! > > **Cons**: It's a program that you must be trained to use. Without formal training, it would be hard for someone new to just pick up and start using it. > > Overall, I think HeavyBid is a great resource\! Especially for managing quotes, pricing, and creating proposals/ ----- ### "Project manager" — 4.0/5 > **Ashley** | *30 April 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is proficient and there are so many functions you can use it for. > > **Cons**: It is slow because the data base is so big. Also sometimes integration is hard > > Good. I use it often for all of our estimates. Sometimes I wish it was a little more user friendly. ----- ### "Heavy Bid Review" — 3.0/5 > **Kylinn** | *9 June 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't use much of the heavy bid side but use for reports and i'd say easy access to weekly reports needed for upper management is great\! > > **Cons**: The software can be super slow at times while trying to run reports. I notice it more when there's more users working in it at the same time. Additionally don't really care for having to log into a remote session before being able to access heavybid > > The customer service is always helpful but would be nice to have more tutorials on how things are run or even better reports that can be pulled ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/34221/heavybid?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/34221/heavybid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
