(upbeat instrumental music) - I'm Charlie Borene, I'm Vice President and Paving Division Manager. Every bid is our point-of-sale program. It's how we assimilate our estimates and arrive at hopefully the lowest responsible bid. We've been able to more accurately and much quicker turn out more reliable bids at a much faster pace.
The speed has increased two-fold, easily. Michael Christianson's my name, Vice President and Chief Estimator at Park Construction. Had seven years around HCSS HeavyBid, and we've had our successes with your product, and it's what we use every day, all day, so we live in it. The power that lies inside of the actual software is, in my mind, top of the line.
(upbeat instrumental music) We can crank out more accurate bids with the way we do things with HeavyBid than I think anything that I've seen. The nice part of HeavyBid is that we can have four or five estimators on the bid at the same time working on their items, and it's efficient. My favorite part of HeavyBid is the quote organization in the back. I find that is invaluable for projects.
It's fast, it's efficient, and we use it every day. I think if you talk to other project manager estimators from other firms, chief estimators, very similar type of positions that I'm in right now, and to be honest with you, the majority of 'em are already using it. There's very few of our competitors that aren't using it, but we're still competing in markets with folks that use spreadsheets, and whatever works for them. This works for us, this is fast and efficient.
We would be behind the competition. I look at this for speed, efficiency, and accuracy. I 100% trust this product. I've never gone back and found an error on the program's part, so the trust level is there.
- Prior to HeavyBid we used Excel, and there was no codes whatsoever, so the HeavyBid system with the code that historically means something over time that you can watch trends and look at and change, adjust, was paramount, and HeavyBid is reliable, it's accurate, it's fast, it's good. If I had to sum up HeavyBid, it's my toolbox, every day. I'm in this all day. When you go to work, you gotta have a toolbox, this is it.
