Customer Testimonials

"When I first purchased in Conest in 2007, my business was two guys and a pick up truck using pen and paper. It provided simple bid templates, a lot of assemblies, and a huge database which made it easy to start using immediately as a novice... I have used [IntelliBid] to help my company to grow to 115 employees doing over $25M a year in complicated public works projects ranging from small to over $10M each. Hands down an excellent and versatile software you can grow with. Highly recommend it to anyone."

— CLINT; ALESSANDRO ELECTRIC, INC.

"I have been a Conest user since 1990 and love the program. [IntelliBid] is, in my opinion, a very robust program and by far the most complete electrical estimating program in the industry... As an estimating consultant and trainer we have every program out there and I say it every day to our students, try Conest for free in our lab, you won’t be disappointed."

— MARC CANDELS; CANDELS

"Whenever I have a question regarding Conest, your [support] staff has gone over and beyond to help with whatever obstacles I have encountered. I deal a lot with Dan Lampkin. He’s always been professional and has explained what I needed to know in great detail. Very satisfied with the Conest staff."

— ROGER ADKINS; PRITCHARD ELECTRIC COMPANY

"[SureCount] works really great for us. After the takeoffs are done, we send them to our printer to have full color prints made which are very clean and easy to read. We can export the counts to excel and link them to our own bidding excel bidding system. We were impressed with the [Conest] folks out of the gate - they had videos showing the different features making it easy to understand & the support team is EXCELLENT!"

— JOANNA, SOFTWARE ADVICE

"The flexibility to create assemblies catered to the way I estimate is the best feature for my method developed over the last 50+ years. Adding items to the database is a feature I appreciate and it appears there might be an unlimited amount of data that could be added."
