The Challenge: Estimating Pain Points

Anderson Place Construction, a growing site work and underground utilities contractor, was struggling with manual estimating methods using Excel. While Division Manager, Jason Beasley had experience with large-scale estimating software, the high costs of these solutions were prohibitive for his newly established business.

Jason needed an estimating tool that could offer:

Detailed budgeting capabilities: Tracking labor, equipment, and materials in real-time.
Affordability: Big-name competitors were out of reach for a small business.
Scalability: As the company grew, they needed software that would support their expanding team.

The Solution: Estimating Link® by The Construction Link, Inc.

After an extensive search, Jason found Estimating Link, which offered all the features he needed—at a fraction of the cost of big-name competitors. Estimating Link provided an easy-to-use interface, powerful estimating tools, and exceptional customer support that enabled Anderson Place Construction to grow quickly and efficiently.

"I stumbled across Estimating Link during a search, and it offered everything we needed. It’s similar to HCSS, but much more affordable."
