Export to accounting for job cost comparison to estimate is slick > > **Cons**: It takes some time to get used to hourly rate factor with our standard 50hr. work week setup. It may just be my interpretation of how the math flows. > > I originally selected CLI in 2000 as the VP of a mid-size site construction company and found it's implementation simple. Ramped up to over 300 estimates with 1.5 estimators with the 'all time' available support when needed. The ability to set up labor rate tables for standard and Prevailing Wage rates and toggle between as needed for a built up job has been very useful. ----- ### "Don't Overlook this Software, it operates just like the one from Texas, for a lot less\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *15 October 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easier to setup and use than Heavy Bid. Onboarding was easy, done over teleconference call. > > **Cons**: Had an issue initially with the setup. Windows 11 did not recognize SQL 2014 server. Support was wonderful, addressed the issue and I was up and running within 30 minutes\! ----- ### "Estimating Link - The Way To Go" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *30 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adaptability. We bid a wide range of jobs from $10k to $10 Million, and it works well for everything we do. > > **Cons**: My ownership likes to sometimes apply different mark-up to base bid and alternates on a job. It is possible to do it right now, but it isn's very easy. > > Wonderful software, and I truly enjoy working in it every day. ----- ### "The Construction Link Estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *2 August 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to use. You're able to save all your crew and equipment rates. And also change those rates to include overtime if that's needed. You can look at previous jobs that you've put together. The move money feature is really nice, and I like how it breaks down all your equipment, labor, material, or anything you have in a bid. > > **Cons**: I haven't found anything bad about it yet. > > I couldn't be happier with The Construction Link. We are a small company that was looking to update the way we estimate but didn't want to pay the big down payment for something we didn't know if we'd need. The construction link offered a monthly payment option which was very nice so we could make sure this was something we wanted. \[sensitive content hidden\] and the team there were awesome to work with and are always there to help if needed. We are extremely happy with the construction link and would highly recommend to anyone. ----- ### "Effective and Efficient Earthwork Estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Ryab** | *2 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use/implementation. > > **Cons**: Old school layout and design. > > Overall everything had been fantastic\!\!\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/2038/cliwin-estimating-system?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/2038/cliwin-estimating-system) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | 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 | | ----- ## Structured Data
