I have seen many contractors move toward digital tools to handle their project estimates, but the options can feel very different depending on the workflow. For those who have tried various electrical estimating software programs, what features made the biggest difference for you? Do you focus more on accuracy, takeoff tools, pricing organization, or something else entirely? It would be helpful to hear what others look for and which parts of the estimating process improve the most after switching to a digital setup.

Tried a bunch of digital estimating tools over the years, and the thing that helped me most was cleaner takeoffs and keeping pricing in one spot. Accuracy mattered, but honestly just cutting out the messy back-and-forth felt like a win.
I got into it while working on a job where we were pushing for iso certification construction, so staying organized actually saved me from a few headaches.
