Big bang for the buck
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have multiple users working with this estimating software with excellent results. Estimators can work concurrently on the same project. Using a software package like SharpeSoft allows us to bid more consistently and be less likely to make errors. This program also allows us to export our estimating budgets into our accounting software to set up job cost budgets.

- Project support is timely, intimate, local and professional.

Likelihood to Recommend
SharpeSoft [is] designed to be a day-to-day hard-bid estimating program. It is easy to learn and use, yet very powerful. I would not recommend this product to hourly service providers.
