## Reviews

### "Robust Database & Knowledgeable Staff" — 5.0/5

> **Ian** | *7 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The database for electrical material is unmatched. Customer service team is very helpful and knowledgeable.
> 
> **Cons**: The application is somewhat outdated when it comes to accessibility. The database could use some updating, as well, to match current electrical trends.
> 
> My experience with McCormick Electrical has been great. I have been using their software for estimating for nearly 15 years.

### "McCormick is awesome." — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *8 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For the most part we do not have any issues but when we do or just have a question tech support is awesome to work with.
> 
> **Cons**: Little slow. With the recent updates it seems to have gotten a little slower.
> 
> We have been using McCormick estimating software for many years now. It has made our estimating so much easier.

### "McCormick easy and accurate." — 5.0/5

> **Dave** | *21 December 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and accurate. &#10;Ability to overlay drawing is a definite plus for user.
> 
> **Cons**: I really have nothing negative to say and if I did i would call support and they would help me get thru any issue that i may/might have had.
> 
> I have used this product for years and will continue in the near furure.&#10;I would highly recommend.

### "Overall a good product for estimating." — 4.0/5

> **Jason** | *29 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to have multiple users working on the same job for takeoff.
> 
> **Cons**: There seems to be some glitches in the bid summary section that we have to double-check to make sure that tax gets applied.  Getting some more low-voltage items in the database would be helpful too.
> 
> Overall, it is a good product for estimating.  I wish there were fewer updates and changes, because it seems like they create more glitches and problems trying to come out with updates all the time.

-----

### "Top notch training and customer support" — 5.0/5

> **Zach** | *16 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The training that comes along with the software is great and very informative.  The training was on my own time and was spaced out so I could take some time to work with it and apply the information that I was learning about.  They even recorded each session and sent me the recordings me to be able to review at any time.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a lot of abbreviations in the items list with no explanation of what it is
> 
> The customer service has been top notch, everything that I would expect from a company from the training to the tech support with any questions.
