ConEst Wins 2009 Constructech Top Products Award

MANCHESTER, NH – (March 9, 2009) ConEst Software Systems, a leading provider of estimating, design build, project management and billing software for the electrical, low voltage and structured cabling industries, announced today that its IntelliBid Estimating Software has been selected as one of Constructech magazine’s TOP PRODUCTS award winners for 2009.

In the March issue Constructech magazine announced the winners of its 2009 TOP PRODUCTS Awards—an annual competition that recognizes superior product innovation, success, usefulness, uniqueness, adaptation, and potential for growth in the commercial construction marketplace. Constructech’s panel of editors reviewed nearly 100 entries in four primary categories for 2009. ConEst Software Systems was selected as a top award winner in the Enhanced Products category.

“Our goal again this year was to identify the leading technology products in the commercial construction market today,” said Mike Carrozzo, chief editor of Constructech magazine. “And indeed, these products are among the best technology currently available for commercial construction applications.”

“As we continue on in 2009, it is the resilient nature of the commercial construction industry that will keep projects moving ahead and innovation moving forward,” added Peggy Smedley, editorial director of Constructech.

“We are delighted to be recognized by Constructech with this award,” said George Hague, President and CEO of ConEst. “It is a testament to the quality of our products and ConEst’s ongoing commitment to developing solutions that meet the needs of our customers,” continued Mr. Hague. “In a down economy, accurate estimates can be a contractor’s best weapon for survival. ConEst has added a dynamic link from IntelliBid to SureCount Symbol Recognition Software. SureCount reads electronic drawings by counting and measuring the material requirements of an electrical or data cabling project onscreen and then transferring those material items and lengths to IntelliBid’s Count Sheets where quantities are ready for instant takeoff.”
