With the combined power of Lite, Plus, and Pro, IntelliBid Design Build comes loaded with features for contractors to estimate in the design build arena with confidence. From lighting calculations and electrical formulas to multi-user support, Design Build delivers software solutions that let your estimators tackle any size or type of electrical and structured cabling project with confidence and proven superior performance.


ConEst Software Systems is the first and only construction software solutions provider to address the design-bid-build arena. IntelliBid Design Build incorporates the same built-in Smart System™ technology found in all other levels of IntelliBid plus the ability to calculate lighting requirements and electrical formulas including load, motor, voltage drop, service and feeder calculations and more. Tackle your design build projects and electrical calculations with confidence using IntelliBid Design Build and ConEst Electrical Formulas.
IntelliBid Design Build gives you complete onscreen electrical estimating & design power right at your fingertips!

Perform electrical calculations and lighting design while simultaneously updating your estimate. Calculate series segment voltage drops, NEC Article 220 Services and Feeders, fault current, load calculations, conduit, box and wireway fill and more! Current NEC tables in the software ensure that your calculations are precise. Use the Zonal Cavity Lighting feature in ConEst Electrical Formulas to calculate lighting levels and lamp types based on room size, ceiling height and wall color.
No need to calculate then estimate – with ConEst Electrical Formulas and IntelliBid Design Build estimating software, you complete the task in one easy step!
“I’ll never need to open the code book again…I love it (ConEst Electrical Formulas)!”

Digital takeoff is here!
SureCount™ Symbol Recognition Software (sold separately) gives estimators the ability to view electronic plans and perform takeoffs directly onscreen, significantly increasing takeoff speed and accuracy, virtually eliminating the time-consuming manual task of counting and measuring materials from hard copy plans.
SureCount organizes the material counts and measurements into separate data groups. An exclusive and seamless integration between IntelliBid and SureCount then pulls that data directly into IntelilBid’s Count Sheets feature where the project’s material requirements are ready for final takeoff including a complete bill of material. Digital takeoff with SureCount combined with IntelliBid’s Smart System Count Sheets feature offers estimators the latest technology tools for generating precise, cost-effective and labor-efficient job estimates with great speed and accuracy.
