Archives: Takeoff Estimating Software

“I have been in construction for over 25 years and in the past I have used different kinds of software . About 5 years ago I purchased The Simple Series and this is the best software that I have ever used! True there was a big learning curve but their team was great to teach me through training sessions and today I am using The Pro Series. This is a very powerful program and you can upgrade, add modules as your company grows! I am also using the CSG Web Portal to share job information with employees, vendors and clients. CSG Central syncs with Professional Series which is another great feature! I would highly recommend this software to any contractor!

The thing I like the most about the software is that it is a fully integrated system from the first contact with a prospect customer , to estimating the project, to selling the job, to accounting, to scheduling. I always know where I am at with a job and how my business is doing. I believe by purchasing this software I have increased revenue.”

Integration is so much better and I feel that, while still learning, it has been the best software investment we have made.

Our company has been in business since 2000 and we have always been looking for a more integrated system. Our estimating was done on spreadsheets, proposals prepared in Word, and finally, the accounting was done in Quickbooks, far from a seamless process. Job costing was also difficult. While there has been a considerable learning curve, we are finding that the CSG’s Simple Series is an excellent choice and becoming easy to use. The training has been very helpful, and while expensive, it has been worth it. I also find that there are fewer things that “slip through the cracks”, increasing our profitablity.”

I want to take a moment and thank you for extending that extremely generous offer on the upgrade. I was able to get my computer updated to meet the current system requirements and get it loaded with my existing database. This is a huge improvement from the old system!! I should have listened to you earlier and upgraded. Again I really appreciate the upgrade and look forward to more years using this product.

“We just wanted to send you a note and let you know that the new update for Takeoff Plus looks absolutely amazing excited to check it out. you guys did a great job with this!! glad you guys are listening to customer input. Thank you.”

“I have been using CSG software since 2006. I find that the software is very user friendly and easy to move around in. I have trained on computer systems before and the simplicity of the CSG software makes my job a lot easier! If I do have a problem, CSG support is a phone call away. They offer free webinars to inform the users of the new and upcoming products and any edits they may have with the existing software itself. I recommend CSG to all contractors. It has saved our company a lot of money having budgets within jobs. My boss is not a computer friendly guy and he has no problem running the estimating program from CSG.”

“We’ve been using Contractors Software Group’s estimating, purchasing and job cost accounting system for 10 years. Their products allow us to estimate faster, create purchase orders quickly and provide us with more accuate job dost tracking and financial statements to better manage our company. To-date, we haven’t found anything better, We would recommend Contractors Software Group’s product to any builder looking for an integrated estimating, purchasing and job cost accounting system.”

“We’ve been using Contractors Software Group products since 2007. Before, we were using multiple systems. Now we’re using Contractors Software Group’s fully integrated products. We’ve married our estimating with our job cost accounting system so we can better manage our jobs. Once the customer signs our proposals/change orders from our estimating system, all the information about the estimate is transferred over to our job cost accounting system so there is no re-entry of information. We would recommend Contractors Software Group to any builder or contractor looking for a fully integrated estimating and job cost accounting solution.”

“As an active roofing company serving a variety of customers – including residential homeowners, commercial property owners, property management companies and builders – it was imperative for us to find a software program that would cover our wide customer base, including multi-projects for the same client. We purchased both the SalesBuilder and TakeOff Plus from Contractors Software Group.

This team rocks!! Not only is the software top-notch, their technical and support team is top of the line. They are continually upgrading their software to meet the requests of their clients. I don’t know another software vendor out there that would continually take ongoing requests from their clients, and make improvements to fit their wide client base.
Kudos to a job well done! We appreciate all that you continue to do for our business needs.”
