Sigma Estimates Review

August 16, 2020 By BCES

Sigma offers an easy transition to true estimating software

For contractors still using excel to create estimates for new projects, Sigma Estimates offers an easy transition from the classic Microsoft Office style interface. Sigma Estimates makes their spreadsheet interface look and feel just like Excel. Plus, the intuitive nature of the software helps busy construction professionals by getting us up-and-running immediately (after downloading the free trial). Please check out the quick Sigma Estimates Review below and read about all the features.

Sigma Estimates Review - Look and Feel

What makes Sigma Estimates worth a try?

Sigma Estimates has an interface that is similar to spreadsheets like Excel, allowing contractors and construction professionals to start setting up an estimate right away. The free trial period is not wasted getting to know the software, it can be used effectively, in real-time with a project or potential project.

It looks and feels like Excel, but what sets Sigma Estimates apart are the built-in formulas, followed by the validation and review tool. Sigma Estimates provides us with all the formulas needed for project estimates, and even provides alerts when cells are left empty (missing unit costs, etc.). Then when an estimate (draft) is complete, Sigma Estimates has a validation and review tool that allows the user to quickly review for any oversights. An extra layer of protection, even though there are built-in formulas. These are very valuable features for any construction professional and/or contractor because they save time and deliver accurate results for a project team and client.

Sigma Estimates Review - Validation and Review Tool

Historical Data can be accessed and used easily. Cost data can be imported into Sigma’s library, then used right away by either drag-and-drop or by using their smart search. Simply save estimates, sub numbers, and unit costs as CVS files so that they can easily be imported into Sigma Estimates for immediate use.

Sigma Estimates has a help and training library that covers everything from introductory to advanced topics. There are also profession-specific getting started guides for contractors, subcontractors, and architects. The Help and Training page is so valuable, it provides construction professionals the support they need to start using the software immediately. Another great option on this page is the PDF guide/introduction to Sigma Estimates that can be downloaded, printed, and reviewed away from a computer screen (we all need a break from the screen from time to time). Our video below quickly shows-off this great resource.   Click Here to see the Sigma Help and Training Page.

PlanSwift Crack

October 30, 2016 By BCES

Software cracks cover all industries and are readily available using any search engine. Searching PlanSwift Crack offered us pages of links to explore. At the time this post was published, there were 76,400 results. Wow! Topping the list was an offer to download version 9.5.8.1:

PlanSwift Crack

What Is Software Cracking?

Wikipedia offers, “Software cracking is the modification of software to remove or disable features…, especially copy protection features”. This includes removing or disabling protection against the manipulation of serial numbers and software keys.

Why Crack Software?

Reading an article entitled How To Crack Programs Yourself with Offset Comparison Tool, the first paragraph offers an explanation of why folks crack software with “… it is not for monetary gain but as a challenge to know how “it works” and to gain more knowledge through unpacking, debugging and analyzing the program”.

Now that we have a basic understanding of WHAT Cracking is and WHY folks Crack software, let’s look at a few factors to consider when contemplating a PlanSwift Crack.

PlanSwift Crack vs. Free Trial Download – Things To Consider:

  1. Security: Are you using a Trusted Source? Is the PlanSwift Crack safe to download and operate? Let’s face it, if you are not downloading the software directly from PlanSwift then you are taking a risk.
  2. Support + Maintenance: A PlanSwift Crack is not supported. Additionally, the cracked software we did find were all older versions. Downloading and purchasing directly from PlanSwift gets you the most up-to-date version as well as continuing support > updates, maintenance, and customer support… it’s all there!
  3. Reciprocation: PlanSwift is a software that makes life easy for construction professionals. Its many features promote efficiency, accuracy, and PROFITABILITY. If you are using PlanSwift to increase profits for your quality products and services, then it makes sense to reciprocate so that PlanSwift can also profit from their quality products and services. It’s that SIMPLE.

Our PlanSwift Crack Video > The Recap:

A Final Thought:

It is tempting to use Cracked Software, especially if the software is for recreational use and not for profit. Using software For Profit, on the other hand, raises the bar for accountability. Construction professionals should think about RECIPROCATING when considering software that is used professionally as a way to increase profits. In this particular case, make it a WIN-WIN for both you and the folks at PlanSwift.

Seeing is Believing: A Look at How PlanSwift Looks and Works On-Screen

Here is a quick overview of what you can expect as soon as you download PlanSwift’s Free 14-Day trial:

What we didn’t like about PlanSwift

PlanSwift does not have cloud-based storage, meaning you have to save your work locally (on your computer) and then communicate using email or by using a third-party storage option (i.e. share via dropbox). Since PlanSwift isn’t web-based, true mobile capabilities rely on PlanSwift being installed on a laptop. PlanSwift on a laptop would solve any portability issues. A laptop with software will travel.

What we like about PlanSwift

Getting started! You can simply go to PlanSwift’s web page and download the 14-Day Free Trial. If your computer is up-to-date and will support the software, you can be up-and-running in minutes. Another bonus is the ease in which you can create handy, presentable, professional PDF documents to securely share your calculations. The “show legend” option allows you to display data right on the print view that you choose. We can’t say enough about PlanSwift’s User-Friendly interface. It allows you to pick-up on the essentials quickly, so that you can start making the software work for you, right away. With a Free Trial, you just can’t go wrong.
