  • I have been using Best Bid Software for approx. 14 years. There Service is second to none. Anytime i have had a question or needed technical support they have been there for me. We have since added to our estimating team and Upgraded to Hybrid Pro Networking. Thru the whole transition Steve and his team were there to help us and out IT guys in Setting it up and having it run Flawlessly. I would recommend this software to everyone big and small companies. The software is flexible, easy to use and has features that the other guys don't offer such as having a take off program built into the Hybrid version. There are no hidden fees or fees for supports or updates.

    This software along with their customer support has been the best that I've ever worked with. You get way more than what you pay for. If you've ever worked with Steve or heard of him you'll know he's the best at this. Their website offers blogs, training videos, and even create personal videos to help you succeed. I would definitely recommend this software as well as their estimating class to everyone. They don't just sell you a software, they set you and your company up on a path for success.
