Large database available." — 4.0/5 > **Rafael** | *28 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Although I have not used it much yet, if I have monitored the evolution of its database in some specific items where I know that there have been specific price variations in a relatively short period of time. I have been able to verify that the database has faithfully reflected these changes, unlike other similar software, where these changes are not reflected or are observed with an important time lag. Your customer service is above the average to which I am accustomed to receive when I have made inquiries. > > **Cons**: Although as I said previously, the customer service is higher than the average that I'm used to receiving technically speaking. However, his response time, on the other hand, has been quite slow, at least in my particular case > > For some projects, I have compared the actual cost of each project compared to the estimated costs based on this program and similar ones, considering that the costs estimated through the TurboBid were almost always those that were closer to the real costs. Although I have used it for small projects (houses), I think it is feasible, given the results I have obtained, to increase its use to larger projects, for which I continue to use other software. ----- ### "Must Have" — 5.0/5 > **Glen** | *27 August 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly and easy to learn. The help videos attached to every aspect of the program are so helpful in training users and if that isn’t enough the Turbobid team is spot on with customer service to further help you succeed. Secondly, the reports and bid package this software creates is beyond anything you can do on your own. Its the wow factor to the already amazing product > > **Cons**: Inability to adjust take off quantity prior to purchase. But I’ve been told they are developing an upgrade to solve this which will be released soon. I can’t wait. > > Its a must have for anyone serious about their business. This software is so customizable and user friendly and will save you a lifetime of sitting at a desk trying to figure everything out yourself. Once you have it tailored to fit your business your set. My time is valuable and demanded in other areas. I don’t have the luxury of desk time. If you don’t love this software you don’t know the first thing about estimating and if you don’t have this software your in the stone ages and just as well close up shop and find a new career. ----- ### "Complete waste of money for Canadian businesses\!" — 1.0/5 > **Kevin** | *12 June 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't have any pro's. The software is not user friendly in Canada. > > **Cons**: Does not work in Canada like I was informed during the sales process. You are unable to get Canadian prices from distributors to work with the software, hence you cannot perform accurate estimates in a timely matter. Complete waste of money spent that could of been used somewhere else as a newly started business. I just use the excel spreadsheet I developed, which is much faster and accurate. I will purchase a Canadian friendly software when I recover from this wasted purchase, like McCormick or Accubid. > > I am unable to use it and spent way too much time with support trying to figure it out. I would of been better off throwing my money out of the window of my truck\! ----- ### "Electrical Service Pricing and Project Estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *4 October 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: TurboBid is easy to set up and use on a daily basis to price service work. I estimate electrical jobs from a few hundred dollars to over a million. The data base is massive and easy to adapt to any estimate. It gives me clear, easy to understand reports and material take-offs. I have been using TurboBid since 2012 and have seen amazing progress within the system to make it easier and faster to produce accurate estimates and proposals for my customers. > > **Cons**: I have not had any negative experiences using TurboBid or the customer support. > > TurboBid has been extremely useful in helping me grow my business. Working with CSRs has helped me better understand the electrical contracting business. Their customer support is always spot on. ----- ### "Great product for small or start ups companies" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *10 August 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the cleanliness and physical appearance of bids and estimates. Like I said previously, my company software isn’t compatible to integrate, but again, for a smaller company or a start up, I feel this would be an amazing investment > > **Cons**: As previously stated, maybe it’s a security issue on my end, but users cannot customize lingo Or costs, if this is a software issue, that would be something I would change > > Overall, I use this at my job ( a large corporation) and it’s a much faster was to get estimates out to clients, however for this purpose, it’s almost a glorified word or excel template. We also started to use this with my husband’s electric company he just started, and I find it is much more useful than at work ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/72572/turbobid?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/72572/turbobid) ## 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
