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.
