INTRODUCTION
This FrontRunners analysis is a data-driven assessment identifying products in the
Construction Estimating market that offer the best capability and value for small businesses. For a given market, products are evaluated and given a score for the capability (x-axis) and value (y-axis) they bring to users. FrontRunners then plots the top 25-30 products in a quadrant format.
In the Construction Estimating FrontRunners graphic, the Capability axis starts at 2.70 and ends at 4.70, while the Value axis starts at 2.50 and ends at 4.50. To be considered for the Construction Estimating FrontRunners, a product needed a minimum of 10 user reviews, a minimum capability user rating score of 3.75 and a minimum value user rating score of 3.75. In most cases, we evaluate hundreds of products and feature 20-25 as FrontRunners; all products that qualify as FrontRunners are top performing products in their market.

Each product falls within a designated quadrant based on their axis scores. Dependent on the specific needs of the software buyer, a product placed in any quadrant category could be a good fit.
QUADRANT CATEGORIES:
» UpperRight=Leaders: Leaders are all-around strong products. They offer a wide range of functionality to a wide range of customers. These products are considered highly valuable by customers.
» UpperLeft=Masters: Masters may focus more heavily on certain key features or market segments than Leaders do. If you need a more specialized set of functionality without bells and whistles, then a product in the Masters quadrant might be right for you.
» LowerRight=Pacesetters: Pacesetters may offer a strong set of features, but are not rated as highly on value. For example, a Pacesetter might offer greater functionality, but cost more.
» LowerLeft=Contenders: Contenders may focus on a more specialized set of capabilities that are priced at a higher point. This makes them ideal for companies willing to pay more for specific features that meet their unique needs.

Construction Estimating software helps estimators calculate material and labor
costs for a job, and then produce a detailed, professional bid proposal from those estimates. Specialized estimating tools are often used to handle trade-specific requirements , such as electrical or plumbing estimating. Software Advice’s FrontRunners quadrant is focused on the North American Construction Estimating software market. We identify this set of core capabilities for the Construction Estimating software category: costestimating,costdatabase and proposalgenerator, as well as at least two of the following: visualassemblies,historicaldatabase,what-if analysis and/or pre built templates.
In addition, we identify several related features that organizations purchasing Construction Estimating software may also need or wish to consider: building information modeling (BIM), bid management, takeoff (or integration with takeoff), job costing/time and materials billing (or integration with accounting) and scheduling (or integration with project scheduling/project management).

The FrontRunnersmethodology assesses and calculates a score for products on two primary
dimensions: Capability on the x-axis and Value on the y-axis.
THE CAPABILITY SCORE IS AN OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF SCORES INCLUDING:
» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s functionality.
» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s ease of use.
» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s customer support.
» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the product’s inclusion of key functionality for the software category.
» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the number of other products that integrate with it.

Markets are defined by a core set of functionality, and products considered for, and included in, FrontRunners must offer that core set of functionality. Additional related functionality can contribute to the capability score for a product. To qualify for consideration in a FrontRunners quadrant, a product must have a minimum number of unique, user-submitted product reviews across the three Gartner Digital Markets web properties: softwareadvice.com, capterra.com and getapp.com. The minimum number of reviews required per product may differ by category, but will generally be between 10 and 20 unique reviews.
