It is very easy to use and pick up on if new. > > **Cons**: I'm honestly having a difficult time trying to think of a negative about HeavyBid. > > I love using HeavyBid. I use it daily and have no complaints about the software. ----- ### "A good tool, but a bit dated" — 4.0/5 > **Jacob** | *17 December 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The desktop app of Heavybid is a powerful tool. > > **Cons**: Can be buggy at times and crash. Takes some time to figure out and has a very old feel. > > Overall it is a useful product. Hopefully the web version is a bit smoother to use. ----- ### "Updates Needed" — 3.0/5 > **Rudy** | *24 August 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support is excellent when using any HCSS software. > > **Cons**: This software needs a total overhaul of its GUI. Why do I feel like I'm using Windows NT or 2000 in the year 2022??? It's unfathomable that this is the best product HCSS can put out. This isn't a free software. And don't get me started on how any time you hit the ESC key on your keyboard trying to close out of a cell (like in Excel) the window you are working on closes without warning thus deleting any unsaved progress - in windows you need to click save as opposed to other windows where it saves automatically as you tab throug...what's that about? Once you know how to navigate the program, it's fairly easy, but that doesn't negate the fact that the software is/feels archaic. ----- ### "I used Heavy Bid regularly for almost 6 years and it was great." — 5.0/5 > **dan** | *1 May 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was the first bidding software that I ever used and it seemed very intimidating at first but it was very simple to get the hang of after a very short period of time. Their live help line is amazing and they are so good at helping an new and seasoned user. > > **Cons**: You can only have so many administrators and i worked in a very large office so if something needed changed as far as rates or crews it wasn't always convenient to get it changed > > i makes bids more accurate and consistent ----- ### "Missing helpful additional feature" — 4.0/5 > **Richard** | *25 August 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sub Total Feature, Equipment Set Up, Merge Set UpItems > > **Cons**: Not able to highlight or color headings; Equipment , Local Materials > > Estimating Projects ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/107937/heavybid?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/107937/heavybid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
