What Our Customers Say

After only using this program for a short time I was able to do a full fireproofing bid with alts bid that would have taken me weeks using OST in just a few hours. they have built an awesome program, and I'd recommend it to anybody trying to improve the speed and accuracy of their bids. 

Awesome estimating software backed by outstanding technical support. I highly recommend BuzzBID to estimators and project managers who are serious about streamlining their takeoff process and managing projects more efficiently.

The software provides a wide range of customizable reporting options, giving users the flexibility and control needed to meet their specific estimating and project management requirements. Easy to use, powerful, and supported by a responsive team—BuzzBID has become an invaluable tool for our business. 

 

BuzzBID has been a game changer for our estimating workflow. The platform is extremely user-friendly and easy to get up and running with, even for first-time users. What really stands out is the amount of time it saves—tasks that used to take hours are now streamlined and efficient, allowing us to focus on winning more work instead of getting buried in spreadsheets.

I’ll be honest—I never thought I would switch from OST and QuickBid. They’ve been industry staples for years. But once we found BuzzBid, it became clear pretty quickly that this is the next evolution.

Leonard Buzz, the original creator of On-Screen Takeoff (OST) and QuickBid, is now a co-founder of BuzzBid—and that experience shows throughout the platform. If you’re coming from OST/QuickBid, BuzzBid will feel immediately familiar, but more powerful. The best way to describe it is OST and QuickBid on steroids.

The customer service is top-notch. Anytime we’ve had a question, the support team has been responsive and helpful. Being able to communicate directly with Leonard Buzz is a huge advantage—you’re not just another number, and that level of access and support makes a big difference.

If you’re in the market for a takeoff and estimating solution that’s efficient, reliable, and backed by proven industry expertise, BuzzBid is absolutely worth it. 

 Great support! 

 

BuzzBID is, hands-down, the best Estimating program on the market today. We are a commercial framing / drywall / acoustical contractor with 40+ years in the industry. We bid $200 million+ annually, and we've seen our bidding volume increase exponentially since switching to BuzzBID from our previous Estimating software.
Leonard, Chris, and the entire team at BuzzBID are very customer-focused! Their attention to detail and their overall approach to this program is to make it better for their customers as often as they can.
We cannot recommend BuzzBID enough! 

As a drywall company based in Wyoming, our team of estimators and I have extensive experience with various takeoff software options, including Stack, Togal AI, On-Screen Takeoff, and others. In our opinion, BuzzBID stands out as the absolute best—offering unmatched accuracy and efficiency for takeoffs, the most competitive pricing on the market, and truly exceptional customer service. I would 1000% recommend BuzzBID to any contractor looking for a reliable, top-tier solution.

We cannot recommend BuzzBID enough! 

Very happy with our transition to BuzzBID. It is very similar to the other program we've been using for many years but with AI features. When Chris says it cuts your estimating time down dramatically that is definitely a true statement. We recently lost an estimator in a move to a different city. We don't plan on replacing him. Our current staff (minus 1) will get the job done! 

I recommend Buzz Bid for those in the drywall and fireproofing fields, seeking to enhance their bidding efficiency and accuracy. The personal support from Chris and Leonard adds an invaluable layer of service that you won't find with many other software providers. And the updates are tailored to your needs. 

We are currently transitioning our estimators over to BuzzBID and I am very happy with the process and product. BuzzBID is a significant leap forward in capability and technology. The abilities and tools are thoughtfully tailored to the estimator. The Buzz Team responds fast to each inquiry and seem committed to continually improving and tailoring this product. 

I have worked with Lenard & Chris Buzz since the 80's. Anything they do is always created with the estimator in mind. BuzzBid is better than any system I have used. I have been working on computer estimating systems over 45 years, and BuzzBid is by far the best I have ever used. 

Amazing ease of transition! Jumping into a new product is always scary, but the Buzz team makes it more comfortable than I ever thought possible. The software is so intuitive, it is a whole new world! Thank you!!! I will be back to update you all very soon. 

Best out there. Not even a contest.
Amazing team that listens to the customers and pumps out updates. 

 Great Customer Service and a great product! We have been very pleased so far. We will be buying additional licenses soon.
