There are a number of estimating software brands so how do you know which one is right for you?

Before deciding on a brand of estimating software, bear in mind that with Easy Price Pro, you have your own designated area consultant. From the first point you contact us your regional consultant will come to your premises to demonstrate the software, manage your purchase and be available for any after-sales assistance you require.

Whatever estimating software suppliers claim in their advertising, you can only be sure it will do what they say it will when you see it working for yourself.

We have heard from so many people that have bought another brand of estimating software which has put them off. You can't blame them, if you are new to using computers and decide to take the plunge, the last thing you want is to be stuck with software you have bought that you simply cannot use because it is far too complicated, too long-winded and not accurate. You also don't have the time to read instructions the size of a telephone book, or want to pay the hidden costs for training, only to find you still cannot use it.

What to look out for when purchasing estimating software:

1. Ensure that you find out what the cost includes, some software sounds cheap but the cost doesn't include training fees or support. With Easy Price Pro, there is no training required and support is free for at least 12 months whatever you purchase from us.
2. Look at the software thoroughly before you choose which one to go for. It really isn't all the same. Ask as many questions as you can to assure yourself it is right for you. Even some obvious questions like: will the software calculate using my own prices? Does the software allow for absolutely everything? (Some software is thrown together without thought for every aspect you need to allow for). Our software calculates using logic by rounding up and down the materials to amounts that builders merchants sell it in!
3. Make sure it is easy to use while still doing its job properly. Have the designers of the software really thought out what a builder needs? Is the software only suited to people that work with computers everyday? With Easy Price Pro you price a job from start to finish on one screen in a logical order, not like another brand where you have to keep opening window after window and adapt the templates before you can start pricing then find your way back to check you haven't missed anything.
4. Don't be fooled on costs. If is cheap there is usually a reason, the software perhaps is low quality or there could be hidden costs for support or training.
5. Don't go for a one-size fits all types of work software system. One program cannot possibly price up any job as thoroughly as specific programs for specific work. With Easy Price Pro we have a program designed specifically for pricing new builds and extensions (from the foundations right through the walls, electrics, plumbing roof, decorating etc), another for renovations and alterations, one for electricians, one for plumbers and another for groundworkers.
