“I have used Rapid Estimator in various versions for many years and highly recommend the software for any builder, contractor or designer/consultant like myself. Not only are you able to quickly create construction budgets at any level of detail desired and produce reports to match those details, you will be able to create unlimited custom cost data that saves a great deal of time. The program is not only very organized, flexible and easy to learn but the service provided by the folks at SDSI is first class.”
“Rapid Estimator, its title speaks for itself. ‘Rapid’. Once the setup has been completed, what I really appreciated most was the patient support and customization. They ‘bend over backwards’ to assimilate the program to your business fast. Not much to do but know your craft and used the search features, it’s all in there! I use it to migrate the info into my CRM ‘shell’ that runs my business. Like gas to a tank... but at a much lower price!”
