GivenHansco vs P2P Estimating

GivenHansco provides software for concrete, aggregate, and asphalt producers through its Keystone suite. The suite combines batch controls, dispatch, GPS vehicle tracking, and accounting, with modules that can be added as a company grows. Keystone Batch supports dry or wet plant operation, remote access and batching, inventory tracking, mix modifier integration, and dual plant operation. Keystone Dispatch schedules and edits orders, tracks trucks, displays a predictive truck-demand graph, and integrates with batch and accounting systems. Keystone Accounting is a financial accounting suite designed for these producers. Keystone Online gives online, tablet, or mobile-device access to ready-mix logistics information. Its Payments product supports invoice links and QR codes, with payment processing by Xplor Pay and encryption protecting transactions. The product range also includes Keystone Material Handling, a PLC-driven automated filling solution that can be installed as a stand-alone product at a concrete plant. GivenHansco says the software is designed for one user to more than 500 users. Pricing is available on request. A stand-alone workstation requires Windows 11 or higher, at least 8 GB RAM, and 10 GB free disk space.

P2P Estimating is web-based construction estimating software for subcontractors. It turns uploaded blueprints into takeoffs priced against a user’s labor and material rates. Blueprint files can be PDFs, images, or CAD files such as DWG and DXF, including multi-sheet sets. The software supports 28 trades and identifies scope, then measures counts, lengths, and areas using trade-specific takeoff logic. The generated estimate is a draft for review before bidding. Users can upload a blueprint and create a free shareable link without logging in, but an AI takeoff requires a free account. The Free plan includes 5,000 coins on signup, described as enough for a first takeoff, plus estimate saving and re-pricing and AI estimating chat. Paid plans start at $99 a month. The pricing page estimates an estimate uses roughly $25–$75 of credit depending on plan size; editing or re-pricing a saved estimate adds no credit cost. Plans are month-to-month and can be changed or canceled at any time. Failed estimates do not consume credit, and the upload flow says blueprints are not shared.
