ESTIMATE • Easier to learn and use than competitive software • A smaller utility contractor gets the same estimating advantages as a big company • Accurate, pre-populated rates can be adjusted quickly from bid to bid. CASE STUDY "I have used several other software platforms and always go back to B2W for its user-friendly package and customer support," LUBBOCK UNDERGROUND UTILITIES OWNER AND ESTIMATOR BILLY COPELAND SAYS ESTIMATE IS A DRIVING FORCE AND THAT EASE OF USE DIFFERENTIATES B2W Billy Copeland speaks from experience when he calls B2W Estimate the industry's top estimating tool and a driving force for both large and small heavy civil contractors. "I have used several other software platforms and always go back to B2W for its user-friendly package and customer support," says the founder of Lubbock Underground Utilities in Texas. Copeland started using Estimate in 2007 when B2W was Bid2Win, and the software was helping him do just that for a large heavy highway contractor in Texas. "I picked it up fast, mainly by trial and error, because it was so easy to use," he recalls. A decade later, that company was acquired by another contractor, and the new owners insisted on a switch to another heavy civil application that its estimators were using. "I found the other system very cumbersome and difficult to use compared to Estimate," Copeland explains. "Even after using it for the next four years, I didn't feel very proficient or that I could use all of its features." Copeland is a Lubbock native and earned a masters degree in construction management at Texas Tech. He and his wife founded Lubbock Underground Utilities in 2020. Investing in B2W Estimate was one of their first moves.
