Construction Estimating Software

Make bidding easy with FieldTech’s Zoho Construction Estimating Software

When a construction project finishes, or even as it progresses, people marvel at your creation.  Passers by see the crews working tirelessly every day.  They see the myriad tons of equipment present and materials consumed.  But, they don’t see the brains behind the operation, and they don’t see the care and planning that went into the project.

And, little do they know, before work ever began on this project, you had to provide an estimate for the job.

It sounds simple enough, but it likely took you lots of time to prepare.  Maybe your potential client required multiple bids from you.  Perhaps none of this was integrated with your other business software.

Or, maybe the problems begin even earlier; maybe you didn’t even have a way to calculate your labor and material cost at once without a complicated spreadsheet.  Many construction companies face these very problems, and it causes lots of undue stress.

But, what if you could improve how you put bids together with proper construction estimating software?

With FieldTech, we’ve simplified the estimating process for your construction jobs and put you back in the driver’s seat.  (That’s whether you do commercial or residential construction!)  That means no more time-consuming bids or lack of integration: you have everything.  Whether you need residential construction estimating software, or just general construction cost estimating software, FieldTech can be made to fit your needs.

The average person won’t appreciate what goes into putting together a quote for your construction business to do work.  But, you’re not the average person.  You deserve software that caters to you.

Features of the FieldTech Zoho construction estimating software

You do a lot of work just to give bids on potential jobs.  This software helps with:

1. Combining labor and materials to create a bid.
   • We help configure the construction bidding software with your costs or coefficients for any given bidding situation.  That includes your labor costs and materials costs.  The construction estimating software will produce a detailed bid.
2. Digital signature collection.
   • Once you’ve produced a quote for a construction job, the software will take a digital signature on that document for your records.
3. System integration.
   • This FieldTech construction bidding software isn’t an island unto itself.  Rather, it connects with many other FieldTech apps for a unified experience, fewer copying errors, and less stress.
   • Connect with FieldTech’s Work Order Management, Inventory Management, and Job Costing apps.
4. Zoho integration.
   • FieldTech itself is built on Zoho Creator, so it integrates with many different Zoho apps.
   • The construction cost estimating software integrates with Zoho CRM, Zoho Sign, and the Zoho Finance suite.

Other situations where this construction bidding software shines:

1. Provides multiple quote versions
2. Provides multiple quotes to a single proposal
3. Good/Better/Best quote scenarios
4. Automatic sales tax calculation
5. Accepts customer deposits
6. Uses Bill of Materials, as well as Item Kits/Bundles
7. Gross profit calculation on a quote or bid

How the software works in context

1. Technicians can log into the FieldTech app from their mobile devices from directly on a job site.  They will be able to enter any information necessary to complete a quote directly on the app.  This includes a type of job, materials needed, types of labor needed, or any other coefficient that affects your pricing.  Any of this information can also be defaulted on your quotes, or modified later.
2. If you need to submit multiple bids for a single proposal, you can create these on the spot, or later.
3. Once your technician collects a digital signature on the quote or proposal, the quote goes to your back office.  It can integrate with the FieldTech Work Orders module for immediate construction job scheduling.

Just one component in a bigger machine

Of course, creating a quote for any construction job is important, but it’s only part of the battle.  Your company’s responsibilities include job scheduling, work order/project management, management of any inventory, and many others.  FieldTech has an answer for them all: a true system for construction job management.
