Estimating Software for Electrical & Plumbing Contractors Win more profitable business and improve your professional image Bill Ruffner, TurboBid’s founder, discovered firsthand in 2007 that necessity was indeed the mother of invention. As a contractor with over 25 years of experience, he knew that using a computer to estimate his jobs would undoubtedly be the most accurate method. He couldn't find an estimating software program that met the unique requirements of his contracting company. That's when he decided enough was enough.

Rich barton, Good solid business tool I’ll have to say dittos to “City Franchise” The program works well and I find the only inconvenience is working with the Craftsman residential format. I still have NCE books going back 25 years. So you’d think I got used to chasing down sub-assemblies on several descrete alphabetically arranged pages. It still gets under my skin. But CCE creates some order out of that disbursed chaos.
Regarding integration, If Intuit/QuickBooks would incorporate the NAHB Account format Bingo. Accounting isn’t such a mystifying subject. Intuit leads the pack making the simple, deceptively complex. For now, I like Banktivity 6. I will never again pay Intuit/Quicken for patches and fixes, forced on the user, disguised as upgrades. We’re totally done.! Kudos to Wasatch Digital Media and CCE.
