Heavy Civil Estimating Software FAQs

What is heavy civil estimating software?

It's software that prices heavy civil work like earthwork, underground utilities, paving and bridges. Estimators build bids from labor, equipment, material and subcontractor costs, then balance unit prices and produce proposals.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most SharpeSoft Estimator teams are bidding within 2 weeks. Estimator Express users can bid their first job in 24 hours with a pre-built database and online training.

Do I have to build my own database?

No. We can build a custom database for your company, or you can start with a pre-built one and edit it as you bid. Every bid you complete adds to your library, so the next one goes faster.

Is SharpeSoft cloud-based?

Yes. SharpeSoft runs in the cloud, so your team can bid from the office, home or the road, and several estimators can work on the same job at once.

How much does SharpeSoft cost?

Every quote is custom to your team size and the modules you need. Estimator Express is our most affordable option.

Can I switch from spreadsheets or another estimating system?

Yes. Many clients come from Excel or from other estimating systems. Implementation and training are part of getting started, so your estimators keep bidding while they learn.

Does SharpeSoft work with my accounting software?

SharpeSoft integrates with most accounting systems. Ask about yours during the demo.

What support do I get?

24/7/365 tech support is included with your maintenance subscription, plus implementation, training and consulting services.

Does SharpeSoft do more than estimating?

Yes. Field Reporter and Mobile Foreman track the job after you win it, IPM serves public agencies, and BidConnect, MatConnect and SubConnect are free tools for bidders, suppliers and subs.
