HeavyBid Estimating & Bidding Software Back to Top

“As a general contractor, quote solicitation and quote management play a big role in our bidding process. It’s great to have an estimating system that will allow you to send out solicitations with very little set-up involved; and once the quote solicitations are returned they can be imported or entered manually and managed with ease. HeavyBid makes last minute changes very easy on bid day. You can quickly go in and make changes, send the quote right into the bid, balance it out and turn in your bid.”

Barry Egbert
Garey Construction, Ltd., TX

“We really like using HCSS HeavyBid because it has significantly improved the accuracy and the consistency of our estimates. In our previous system of Excel spreadsheets, we were constantly encountering formula errors, errors that were made in transferring subtotals from one worksheet to another and errors that were made when we would forget to update a material or subcontract price change in multiple locations in our spreadsheets. Now with HeavyBid we spend more time analyzing our estimates and less time checking our math extensions. We can update a material or subcontract price in one place and be confident that the update is made accurately throughout the estimate.”

Tom Gunther
DeSilva Gates Construction, CA

“HeavyBid gives us the ability to make massive changes to our estimate on the fly as opposed to having to go and make changes on the individual item level. The quote system is great. It allows us to analyze quotes, easily select the vendors and input them directly into the estimate.”

Greg Nolting
Milestone Contractors, L.P., IN

“HeavyBid has given me a method to thoroughly put together a bid with increased organization. This gives me more time to spend, after I’ve organized the bid, on the larger details of the job, which in turn allows me to put together a better bid.”

Mike Ciammaichella
Pro-Terra Environmental Contracting, OH

“I feel that HeavyBid has played an integral part in the profitability of our company. It makes estimating easier and more precise and helps us feel more confident that our bids are neither too high nor too low. We’ve been complimented numerous times by clients on the completeness of our bid schedules and our ability to quickly and accurately supply them with cost data and project quantities. HCSS is the best, by far!”

Doug Lind
Lind-Exco, Inc., SD

“HeavyBid is very easy to use. The screens are very easy to use and are layed out logically. Before HeavyBid, we had an in-house estimating system. HeavyBid is not only better, but is far more comprehensive; it took away all the gaps that had been there before.”

Lee Heilig
David Barron Land Development, FL

“I’ve been using HeavyBid for about seven years now and I really like the constant upgrades to the system. Secondly, I like the subcontractor quote system which allows you to handle all of your sub packages without having to go to separate spreadsheets, it dumps over really quickly – if you need to make a change at the 11th hour you can do so very quickly.”

Jerry Hamann
AUI Contractors, TX

“We’re using HeavyBid in all of our divisions, we’ve got it set up on a Citrix server for use in our yard offices and jobsite field offices and it works very well. We love the system. We’re doing all of our estimating on it and I don’t see how we could do all the estimating we do without it.”

Ty Fisher
McLean Contracting, Inc., MD

“We like HeavyBid for the ease of entry and for the summary screens for review purposes. HeavyBid standardizes our estimates so regardless of which estimator put it together it is easy to review.”

Don Statler
Angelo Iafrate Construction, MI

“I like HeavyBid because it is very convenient to use, it’s quick and it saves a lot of time for me, especially in the review process. It’s just an all-around good system.”

Dean Breese
Gerken Paving, OH

“I want to recommend that my competitors NOT buy HeavyBid because I don’t want to give up my competitive edge!”

Don Carter
APAC – Florida, FL

“HeavyBid is an excellent tool for estimating and bidding rail projects. By using an estimating package like HeavyBid, we're afforded numerous advantages, such as the ability to easily make last minute changes to our estimate and quickly sort things in any number of fashions. The software also acts as an innate reminder of all the different things that could be contained in a bid. This helps eliminate errors allowing us to create the most accurate cost estimates for our jobs.”

Larry Laurello
Delta Railroad Construction, Inc., OH

“It helps me finish my bids so fast I feel guilty!”

Lee Shaouy
Florida Blacktop, Inc., FL

“It’s simple, it’s real self-explanatory, it’s real easy to use. Once you load it up on the computer it just makes sense. It is kind of the way we estimate work anyway, just a lot easier and a lot simpler.”

Bill Persons
Rose-Lan Constructors, Inc., KS

“I don't know how we got along before we got HCSS and we recommend it to everyone. It truly is an exceptional tool. ”

Ron Bredehoft
Mountain Cascade, Inc., CA

“We are exceptionally pleased with HCSS. We are able to transfer job cost from HCSS to our Bidtek (accounting) systems without any problems regardless of the estimate size and this process takes seconds compared to hours of manual entry. We're also very excited that we will be able to easily bring cost history back to HeavyBid.”

Monty Claar
Glenn O. Hawbaker, PA

“I’ve been using HeavyBid going on ten years now and I’ve found just some of the benefits of HCSS are the ease of the system, and HCSS’ compatibility to work with other programs for exporting and importing such as to spreadsheet, accounting and scheduling programs. Everything about it is fantastic and most of all, the technical support is phenomenal!”

Roy Huemer
Earle Asphalt Co., NJ

“HeavyBid enables us to bid with order and structure and gives us the ability to analyze a bid before it goes in. We’ve had the system for quite a few years and the company has grown from $30 million to over $100 million a year - we use HeavyBid on approximately 95% of our bids.”

John King
R.E. Pierson Construction Co., NJ

“The HeavyBid system really does a great job as far as making my job much easier. I came through the “pencil & paper” era and we were massively into the paper, a lot of calculations and long hours. HCSS has probably cut my time down to 20 percent for the time it takes to bid a job.”

Norm Pfaff
John Carlo, Inc., MI

“This is an excellent product. No company that is interested in working with the best should be without HeavyBid.”

Garett Riner
Neosho Construction, KS

“HeavyBid has been easy to learn since we started from scratch with it. One of the biggest advantages is to be able to put all of the money in the right places and know where it is, the ability to review the bid and to change it quickly. The best part about the system is the input we get back from technical support, when we’ve had problems or questions we can go right to them and get answers quickly and they’ll work with us. We had a lot of suggestions and they were very eager and willing to work with us. It’s a very attractive system.”

Tom Browne
McLean Contracting, Inc., MD

“HeavyBid has dramatically accelerated our estimating time.Support people have been consistently great in every respect. I’ve even made a few after hours calls and received the same kind of help that I receive during regular hours. ”

Curt Walker
Superior Paving & Materials, OH

“We were kind of slow before in coming up to speed and got into it in 1998 and it has excelled us extremely and since we are now becoming an even bigger company, we do about $200 million a year and our average bids range anywhere from $5 million to $30 million, so it’s helped us excel in getting into the bigger jobs.”

Dave Shutta
Ranger Construction Industries, FL

“I like the HCSS system very much. It's easy to use, I love the copy estimate feature and the support is absolutely great. I've never been disappointed.”

Barry Lobdell
Larry's, Inc., WY

“The best thing about HCSS is the ease of working into it. I just got out of school and started working in the field in heavy roadway construction. It’s a very easy program to work with, the help is always there and the program is just great.”

Ryan Curry
J.D. Posilico, NY

 

HeavyJob Field Management Software Back to Top

“Having the ability to track costs as can be done with HeavyJob is a dream come true for Waters Construction. We are getting insight on daily costs that we never had before. I congratulate HCSS on a well thought out system.”

Keith Sullivan
Waters Construction Company, Inc., CT

“Entering timecard information into HeavyJob is really fast and easy. Our foremen are now able to enter all their daily timecard information in less time than ever.”

Jason Yeager
Gohmann Asphalt & Construction, Inc., IN

“HCSS provides us with seamless integration to our Computer Guidance Systems AS400 job cost system as well as our Primavera scheduling package. HCSS has set a standard for this industry simply by interfacing well with other software packages that saves their customers hours of work.”

Will Robinson
George & Lynch, DE

“We use HeavyJob/Manager. I like the way our field personnel can get instantaneous feedback on their production per labor hour as well as other data important to them. We interface with our Timberline accounting system eliminating the need for our payroll clerks to re-enter data. They tell me the input screens in HeavyJob make inputting data easier than in Timberline so we try to do as much of our payroll as possible in HeavyJob before transferring it to Timberline. Our project managers tell me HeavyJob is the best thing we have going for them.”

Randy Lanser
Wallace C. Drennan, Inc., LA

“We use HeavyBid for estimating as well as HeavyJob for tracking projects, and we appreciate the ease with which information flows from our estimates into HeavyJob and into our accounting system. This has been a great help to us.”

Maria Callen
Callen Construction Company, WA

“With HeavyJob, guys with relatively no computer experience at all are now entering and sending daily time card data via e-mails instead of driving long distances to deliver paper time sheets back to the office. HeavyJob is easy to use for anyone!”

Jeff Fuerst
P.J. Hoerr, Inc., IL

“We see HeavyJob paying dividends for us everyday.”

Jeff Fuerst
P.J. Hoerr, Inc., IL

“Since we began using the system we have run 28 separate jobs using HeavyJob. Every one of them was profitable!! I feel as though some of the credit should go to the program. We have never before had the ability to track jobs on a day to day basis. I feel this made all the difference in the outcome of many of these projects since several of them were very tightly bid. Being on top of job cost has always been a priority for us, but it has never been so easy to accomplish. I have met and dealt with many good companies in the course of day to day business, the team at HCSS is at the top of this list.”

Jeff Fuerst
P.J. Hoerr, Inc., IL

“HeavyJob has really sped up our data processing on a job. Before 8:00 a.m. every morning, the foremen e-mail time cards to the office, where they are reviewed and processed, making up-to-date job site information available by 10:00 a.m.”

Brady Galek
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“Everyone in the company has access to HeavyJob, so everyone can see exactly where we are on a job.”

Brady Galek
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“Our foremen have become more proactive, instead of us having to call them, they are now calling us to find out how they can improve on the job.”

Dave Weller
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“HJ tells me if I need to change my plan. It lets me know if we’re in the red or if we're making money, and that's good.”

Dan Kulig
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“It's easy to know exactly where your job is at any time with HeavyJob. There's also less paperwork and data entry! I really like it.”

Dave Lowe
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“I love HeavyJob! In fact, if I went to another company and they didn't have it, I'd ask them to get it.”

Mike Erdman
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“With HeavyJob, you don't have to chase paperwork down. It's all right there in your laptop in the truck.”

Mike Erdman
Leon E. Wintermyer, Inc., PA

“HeavyJob gives us the critical information very early on allowing us to make any necessary changes in the field.”

Matt Hubbard
Lake County Grading, IL

“We used to fill out sheets of productions and times. That would take me an hour at the end of the day, sometimes more. With HeavyJob, I've got everything right there in the software, and all I've got to do is press a few numbers. Now, I can check my productions and do my time in 15 minutes!”

Joe Ames
Lake County Grading, IL

“Before we had HeavyJob, you didn’t know if you were losing money until the end of the job or the half way point when you started checking everything. With HeavyJob, I can check day by day, week by week, and correct problems immediately if we aren’t making productions.”

Joe Ames
Lake County Grading, IL

“When I estimate my productions, I know if we are making money or not. If we're making good money at eight hours a shift, I know that whatever the job was bid I can go further with ten hours or more. It makes a big difference in the overtime production. If we’re not making money at eight hours, there is no point in going into overtime and losing more money. Each hour of the day I know what is happening on the job. I really like that feature of HeavyJob.”

Joe Ames
Lake County Grading, IL

“With HeavyJob, the foremen enter crews, productions and time into their laptops and e-mail me a text file. I am able to review that file to see if there are any problems before I import it into HeavyJob. It only takes me about 1 to 1 1/2 hours to do payroll, and we have gone from 2 1/2 payroll people to 1.”

Candy DeVos
Lake County Grading, IL

“HeavyJob closes the gap between the field and the office. It is more user-friendly than handwritten time cards, and the descriptions really helped me to gain a better understanding of what is going on out in the field.”

Candy DeVos
Lake County Grading, IL

“I e-mail my time cards to the office using either Nextel or my home computer depending on where I am...We are in the 21st century aren't we! I'd never want to go back to paper. ”

Jim Roper
Lake County Grading, IL

“What's so great about the HeavyJob software is it's in a very easy to follow sequence. You go to the first menu and do your work there, then you go to the second menu and so forth. For a foreman who has never used a computer, it's very simple. I had all our foremen turning in their time the second day they had HeavyJob in their hands. They never missed a beat. Basically, they threw their paper and pencils away.”

Scott Thornberry
T&C Contracting, KY

“The most important field in HeavyJob for us is the working conditions in the diary entry screen, where you can select the weather, ground conditions, and temperature. All of that is critical information when it comes to backing up your case if you have weather delays or things of that nature. The daily notes are what can help shield you from potential conflict.”

The Dispatcher Resource Management Software Back to Top

“The Dispatcher has turned out to be a great asset to our company. The ability to make move lists and track resource locations at the same time makes it very simple to keep track of our equipment.”

Matt Aker
Silver Star Construction, OK

“Tracking our equipment with The Dispatcher is going to save us a lot of money, and knowing where our trucks are at all times is better than sliced bread.”

Bill Stone
C. W. Matthews, GA

“The drag and drop system as opposed to pen and paper or magnets has saved me 5 to 6 hours a week. With Dispatcher now, I can keep track of all my buckets and attachments... No more spending days looking for the small stuff.”

Wendell Witherite
Glenn O. Hawbaker, PA

“The Dispatcher program is great. It not only allows you to eliminate the white boards and all that other stuff you have in your office, but it sets it up to a point where you can coordinate schedules weeks in advance… super program! ”

Mike Menefee
M.J. Menefee Construction, Fowler, CA

“With The Dispatcher, everybody in the company knows where everything and everybody is and that’s a huge benefit. We print out a custom report in the evenings before we leave so that the next morning there is no question on where anything is.”

Jerry Kennedy
L.N. Rothberg & Son, Inc., Middlesex, NJ

“The Dispatcher changed the way we do dispatching. We didn’t think about all the features you guys have covered, but now that we know about them, we can’t live without them.”

John Wheeler
Alpha Development Corporation, Tacoma, WA

“It is very handy to be able to see immediately where all equipment is located.”

Chad Kuns
F & K Construction Inc., Flora, IN

Brannon Burton
Sunroc Corporation, Spanish Fork, UT

“Keep up the great job with your support department. Every time I call for technical support, I can't believe I get a "real" person.... and even better yet - a technician! HCSS support is unmatched by any technical support I have ever encountered.”

Jim Pierce
A-1 Paving, Inc., MT

Lee Cooperrider
West Virginia Paving, Inc., WV

Jim Costello, Vice President
Quaker Sales Corporation, PA

David Steely
Pennsy Supply Paving, Inc., PA

“We’ve been using HeavyBid approximately nine years, and every time we feel we’re at a pinnacle we find it just gets better. We started coming to the User’s Group Meetings seven years ago, and every year we learn more. We’ve never ever not turned in a bid because of a problem with the system. The fact that HCSS president Mike Rydin’s home phone number is on the support card attests to their willingness to support the product – we will continue to use it.”

John McBrayer
C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., GA

“HeavyBid has allowed J.F. White to automate our estimating system. We’ve been using it for 11 years and it’s allowed us to bid more jobs, more effectively and more accurately. We had three days of onsite training when we first received the system and I was able to bid a job the following Thursday. Probably the thing that sticks out most in my mind is the support. I call up and someone is always there to answer the phone. We use different software vendors for other applications and someone will log the call and get back to you. I don’t have that problem with HCSS support.”

Joe Lapointe
J.F. White Contracting, MA

“With HeavyBid, I know that when I bid, everything is covered. I’m not just using plug numbers, I’ve got the activities set up so I don’t forget things, everything’s there, it just makes me do a good job of bidding.
