    WinEst is truly built for everyone. Their assemblies/database linking is perfect for self perform and subcontractors while their database management and custom reporting is perfect for GCs. While Excel set the bar, WinEst is on another planet. With the immediacy required by today's markets, WinEst allows you to deliver a superior product while being more accurate.

    • It's very flexible when building an estimate and selecting items to include. You can either click your way to the datebase or quickly copy and paste similar items.
    • The numerous ways to view and estimate whether it's by CSI, Uniformat, Master Format, or any view you'd like to see. One of ours is by program area, i.e. Sitework, Tower, Parking Deck, etc. After that, you can sort by Bid Package, CSI, etc. Quick buttons can be created far all the views you'd need which allows changing between views a breeze.
    • The visual interface is pleasing and easy to read.
    • It's easy to create your own database using Excel. Once you tag an item with unit costs, sort codes, etc., Winest will import it. You can also build it manually within the program but Excel was faster.

    Cons
    Procore Technologies
    • We had a lot of issues with the customer set up. With the way the integration worked, we had 3-4 owners on a job, when it should have just been one. We were paying a large amount on postage. We sent one GC 9 monthly notices, in one month.
    • I've been trying to get an understanding of what areas in Levelset we AREN'T using and it's been difficult to get an answer. I know we are missing projected revenue and that is a pretty big piece.

    • At times, WinEst controls feel counter intuitive. Also the tools available for actually developing the database can feel clunky. This means that if you do not take the time to create a robust import file, you will spend a serious amount of time fixing your errors.
    • WinEst is also an object based database which means that it is difficult to do mass dumps of information (mainly takeoff) into the program. While this is great for ensuring that everything is done purposefully, it does lead to extended hours of data entry
    • It takes hours upon hours of use before you begin to realize the true potential. The sheer number of tools is overwhelming and their help resources are very basic and only explain how to correctly enter the data but not the feature's best use cases.

    All of the information is there at your fingertips. If I think it's odd that we are submitting a lien on a job, there is an information button that will tell me exactly why and 99.9% of the time, I was misunderstanding something and Levelset was right.

    Levelset is a Procore software, but we did consider it AFTER we got Levelset. We implemented Procore on our project side and chose to stay with Levelset. It's easy to set up, make changes, and understand.

    WinEst simply blows excel and Timberline out of the water. The shear depth of functionality is unparalleled. Not only does WinEst deliver a better product, it also shortens the amount of man hours required for each bid, alternate, pricing exercise, etc. On top of this, it has a number of redundant safeguards for catching errors that the others don't have.
