It is a great software that I would recommend to everyone. Our sales director ( JF ) was great to work with. Her and the entire TCLI family have been great. > > **Cons**: Not anything really. The whole process was really easier than I thought. If I did not understand anything, the TCLI family was there for us. > > TCLI has made estimating easier for us. I wish we would have switched to it years ago. It has really sped up our bidding. ----- ### "DT 2024 Review" — 3.0/5 > **Jason** | *11 June 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is worth the cost. Not the most technical estimating program, however it is the best bang for your buck\! > > **Cons**: The tree view seems dated and doesn't return to the bid item after revising. > > It has been solid. The customer service is good. I still have a lot to learn about program. ----- ### "FMF GROUP the impact of estimating link" — 5.0/5 > **Fred** | *20 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Convenance of having all bid related material in one location, Makes bidding super easy. We can change things that matter and impact bid in a couple clicks. > > **Cons**: I would not say least like, however there is so much the software is capable of. I learn something new daily. I think to myself I wish it could do this or that. Then a visit to the knowledge center. Bam its already there. > > My experience is outstanding. I think this is fantastic stuff. Estimating link has changed my estimating and I won jobs because of it. We have our most backlog as the GC in company history. I have to attribute this directly to our use of Estimating link. ----- ### "Petersen Earthworx Testimonial" — 5.0/5 > **AJ** | *19 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Estimating Link is a behemoth of an estimating software that gives you everything piece of data that you need. I have went through just about every software trying to find a solution and I am glad I landed here. Any lacking points in the software are either user error and mitigated by one phone call or the team is actively working on solutions. They listen to feedback, and I can confidently say they care. You also can't beat the price point for what you are getting. They compete if the biggest estimating software's in the industry and do it for a fraction of the price. If I could give 6 stars, I would. > > **Cons**: The software is somewhat outdated and needs an overhaul. However, I am used to newer software's, and that's why I say that. The functionality of the software currently is everything you could ask for. I speak more on the creature comforts of using it. The good news is, they have a team actively working on this specific problem, and they will have an updated solution out in the future\! The only downside that I would really like fixed is having a better vendor management system where I can have one material rate with multiple different pricing inputs to it based on different locations and vendors. > > My experience is impressed. The software, education, communication, price, etc. has been great. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/46973/estimating-link?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/46973/estimating-link) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
