I used to spend four hours on a slab bid. With AMBidCore I had a complete estimate with a PDF proposal out the door in forty minutes. First job I sent it on, I got the call back the same day.

What the crew is saying
Early-access users from across the country are already cutting their estimating time and landing more work.
The live pricing feature alone is worth it. I've been burned too many times bidding concrete at last quarter's prices. This thing pulls current numbers and my margins are actually holding up now.
I run a small crew — just me and three guys. I don't have time to mess around with complicated software. AMBidCore just makes sense. I pulled it up on my phone at a site visit and had the bid ready by the time I got back to my truck.
