There is not another estimating software that can come close to the value of Best Bid\!\! The technical support has a very quick response time. > > **Cons**: Coming from another software there was just a small learning curve when I first purchased it. I've also had a few issues with using the auto count for my drawings. But that's mostly the way my drawings come to me. > > I would give Best Bid a 8.9 out of 10. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because I think you always make it better and I'm sure they will. ----- ### "Reliable Estimating Software with Great Support" — 5.0/5 > **Marlon** | *21 July 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best Bid Pro is easy to use, accurate, and saves us a tremendous amount of time. It’s designed for electrical contractors, making it simple to build professional estimates quickly. \[sensitive content hidden\] customer support has also been excellent whenever we’ve needed assistance. > > **Cons**: Honestly, very little. Like any software, there’s a learning curve at first, but once you become familiar with it, the estimating process becomes fast, organized, and efficient. > > Overall, our experience with Best Bid Pro has been excellent. It has helped us create accurate, professional estimates while saving valuable time. The software is reliable, easy to use, and backed by outstanding customer support from \[sensitive content hidden\]. ----- ### "Electrical Project Manager" — 5.0/5 > **George** | *22 July 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most of the estimating programs we have encountered supported new construction contractors. We are focused exclusively on design build for existing industrial clients. Best Bid Electrical Estimating provided us the ability to customize the assemblies and materials database based on our industry specific needs. > > **Cons**: Best Bid along with other estimating platforms rely on external Pricing Services to provide current material pricing updates. Our experience with the reliability of the pricing service providers is less than perfect. > > In consideration of the programs fixed cost, ease of use, available tutorial videos, numerous reports, and the customer support we receive on-demand, we are extremely pleased with Best Bid. ----- ### "Highly Recommend BestBid" — 5.0/5 > **Alan** | *21 July 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The low one-time cost that is available to all of my computers and employees. Many other estimating software have annual fees that are very expensive. > > **Cons**: If I had to pick something to gripe about it would be my terrible spelling. I wish Best Bid had a spell check built in > > I was able to learn to use the software fairly quickly. There are a large amount of online training videos to assist. To be able to contact \[sensitive content hidden\] with questions and receive a personal response is so helpful ----- ### "Does the Job but it's a little tricky\!" — 4.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *12 October 2018* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like using our Best Bid Estimating software but at times, because of it's technicality we just prefer to go back to our older methods and estimate that way. > > **Cons**: I believe what we paid for the software was a little higher than expected and since we don't use it as much as we thought, well that's why I give it 4 star rating. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/129341/electrical-estimating-system?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/129341/electrical-estimating-system) ## 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 | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
