In their own words
ConEst IntelliBid
ConEst IntelliBid is electrical estimating software for electrical, low-voltage, datacom, and solar contractors. Its database includes more than 140,000 material items and over 500,000 pre-built assemblies. Built-in labor units and Auto Labor Factoring let estimators adjust for installation height, floors, run length, and quantities. Supplier connections include NetPricer, EPIC, and TRA-SER; those pricing services are separately licensed. Estimates can compare prices across as many as 10 local suppliers. Standard provides core estimating, Plus adds Smart Substitution and Count Sheets, and Pro adds change orders, enhanced proposals, and bid analysis. SureCount links plan takeoff with estimates by synchronizing drawings and phases and passing assigned materials and labor into the estimate. Conest Connect is an add-on for custom reports and dashboards. IntelliBid can be installed locally or accessed through CE Cloud. Local workstation support lists Windows 10 and 11; Mac requires supported Windows software in virtualization, and ARM systems are unsupported. Pricing depends on edition and user count and is available on request.
