Testimonials: DMI Databases for Quick Bid

Quick Bid User - Business Owner:
...Your database has allowed me to change a major aspect of my business. In the past, I had outsourced over half of our estimating work. I relied on an estimating service to provide estimates for all of the larger and more complicated projects that we bid. My internal estimating staff consists of a former superintendent, a former carpenter foreman, and myself. My staff & I have found your database very easy to work with. I'm confident each of us is now capable of estimating any set of plans that comes into our office. In fact, since we started using your database, we have bid slightly more work than average, without any help from the outside estimating service...

Quick Bid User - Chief Estimator:
...I need to thank you for making my life at work so much easier. I have been employed with (my company) for many years. My company began using Quick Bid several years ago. As chief estimator, I always strive for consistency among the estimates my company produces. Before we started using your database, my staff and I were constantly struggling to achieve consistency. I was never comfortable with our level of success towards that end. Thankfully, we started using your database a few months ago. I find myself spending much more time estimating my own projects. At the same time, I'm way more confident that the work my staff is producing is accurate and consistent. Last week, I ran a small test to see how consistent we really are now. I gave each member of my staff a copy the same plans, along with the specific bidding parameters for the project. As I had hoped, thanks to your system, each of them came up with exactly the same number (after all of them finally got the quantity survey exactly right)...

Quick Bid User - Superintendent:
...I work for a company that employs several estimators. Our company has been using Quick Bid for quite a few years. Over the years, I have learned that some estimators are better at their jobs than others. I have been pushing a long time for our estimating staff to get together more with their bidding styles. I'm very impressed with you're database system. After we started using your database system, I really think that our company has been getting better work. I think that all of our estimators have improved their bidding with the help of your database system. The production rates make sense, and the material lists that come through are a lot more accurate too...

Quick Bid User - Beginning Estimator:
...I have been using Quick Bid since I began estimating, about a year ago. A few weeks ago, the company I work for starting using your database in Quick Bid. I think that I have learned more about estimating in the last few weeks, than I did during the entire past year. The database is full of information that used be a big hassle to obtain. Now it seems that everything I need to know is at my fingertips. Your coding system in the master material list is unbelievably easy to use. There is really nothing to memorize. That database of yours has changed my whole outlook on work. And maybe better yet, it has changed the way my co-workers interact with me. I'm sure asking a lot fewer questions these days...

Quick Bid User - Experienced Estimator:
...I have been estimating for decades, and using Quick Bid for many years. Based on past experience, I must say that I was not particularly fond of the idea of changing to a new database system. I was quite familiar with the codes in my old database, and thought that switching would not be worth the trouble. To my surprise, I have never been so happy about making a change. Although I had been using my old database for years, I can find things faster with your new database because the codes are named so intuitively. That part is great, but even better are the hundreds and hundreds of system items in your database. They really help me do my job much faster and much more easily. I had been battling burn-out in this profession for many years. I can't believe I'm saying this, but estimating has become fun again...

Quick Bid User - Procurement Manager:
...Your database for Quick Bid really helps us get the right products, in the correct number, onto the job site. Before using your system, our estimators would routinely substitute similar products in their estimates so they could get their bids out on time. Although the substitutions probably didn't change things that much on bid day, those small product differences sure could cause some large problems a few months down the road. When the time came for deliveries to the job site, they'd forget all about the substitutions. Let's just say, I'm glad we have a good-sized warehouse. Hopefully, now that we're using your system, we'll clear-out some space in the warehouse over the next few years...

Quick Bid User - Controller:
...Our company has begun to operate like a finely-tuned machine now that we have fully implemented your database system for Quick Bid. We are bidding more, and more precisely. The flow of information among our sales, purchasing, and construction departments has never been this expedient. We are producing better reports. The details that flow out of your system are invaluable toward building schedules of values and obtaining change orders. I am truly optimistic about our future profitability...

Quick Bid User - Administrative Assistant:
...I have to tell you that I really appreciate your product even though I don't use Quick Bid very often myself. I cannot believe the transformation in the working atmosphere in our office. The stress level in the office has actually become quite manageable. Perhaps you should change your company's name to "Stress Management Institute"...
