ConEst Software Systems is the leading provider of estimating, design build, project management and billing software for electrical, data cabling and low voltage contractors.

Headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire and serving customers worldwide, ConEst has been delivering solutions to these industries since 1989.

Dedicated to exploring new ways of integrating the latest technology in their software tools, ConEst products incorporate technology and user-friendly, timesaving features that enable their customers to manage the entire construction process from design and bid through project management and final billing. Intelligent technology embedded in our flagship estimating program, IntelliBid, includes features that provide automatic calculations for virtually all requirements of the NEC ensuring designs and bids that are precise and in full compliance with the Code.

 Value engineering is provided through the integration of the design build features with the Smart Substitution feature, giving the estimator the ability to do value pricing by automatically converting entire sub-phases for items such as copper to aluminum or MC cable to Hospital Grade BX for example.

Automatic labor factoring combines all installation variables that affect labor such as building elevation, mounting height, parallel conduit runs, wires in a raceway and more to determine the final labor unit for each item, bringing a higher level of accuracy and consistency to all your estimates!

The design build version of the software provides automated series segment voltage drop calculations, NEC Article 220 services and feeders, fault current, load calculations, motor calculations, conduit fill, box fill and wireway fill as well as lighting design calculations using the program’s Electrical Formulas systems.

Data cabling contractors utilize the comprehensive voice/data/video database for accurate design and installation of their structured cabling projects allowing them to compete in the VDV/IBS arena with confidence.

With a dynamic link to NetPricer Service, customers price their bids instantly through the Internet allowing them to bid accurately using their vendor-specific material costs. IntelliBid also links with popular pricing services, or customers can import their vendor prices into their database electronically. These material pricing options make it easy for the customer to choose the method that best suits their business.

ConEst Software Systems also provides construction management tools that expand on the company’s flagship estimating program, IntelliBid. Those tools include software for tracking bid data, complete project management, change order tracking and software for scheduling your crews, equipment and material with time and material billing management.

ConEst BidTrac stores all your bid data including RFIs, RFQs, phone memos and all bid related notes. By keeping track of bid history, contractors are able to forecast their bidding success by knowing their competitors’ order finish. BidTrac also has built-in fax and email utilities that enable the user to broadcast fax or email their bids.
