What is TurboBid Estimating Software?

In 2007, Bill Ruffner, the founder of TurboBid, realized that true innovation stems from necessity. With over 25 years of experience as a contractor, he recognized that the most effective way to estimate jobs was through the use of a computer. However, he faced a significant challenge: he couldn't find an estimating program tailored to his needs. Frustrated by the lack of suitable options, he resolved to develop his own estimating software designed to handle various types of work, including residential, commercial, remodeling, and service jobs. Unlike other estimating tools, TurboBid stands out for its user-friendliness and versatility, allowing users to efficiently estimate a wide array of projects, from new construction to flat rate pricing, ultimately delivering an exceptional bid package that surpasses competitors. With this innovative solution, Ruffner not only filled a gap in the market but also empowered contractors to improve their bidding processes significantly.

What is Bolster?

Bolster revolutionizes the entire project management workflow for residential construction professionals and contractors. With its innovative estimating software, which incorporates custom assemblies and automated pricing based on supplier data, Bolster ensures precise and rapid estimates across all types of projects. The software enhances traditional quotes by transforming them into dynamic, interactive point-of-sale presentations for homeowners, significantly increasing your chances of securing more jobs. You can also propose upgrades, selections, and optional items, thereby boosting the overall job size through customer-driven upsells included directly in your proposals. Following project bookings via the Pipeline CRM, the built-in automated Scheduling feature clearly communicates project timelines to contractors, subcontractors, and homeowners alike. Additionally, Bolster's Client Portal enables customers to monitor the progress of their projects and process online payments upon task completion. Contractors benefit from immediate payment access through a Bolster Business Account, allowing them to utilize both virtual and physical cards for their expenditures. This seamless integration of features not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly improves customer satisfaction throughout the construction process.
