Other than that, my other favorite about the software is the PDF Report Creator. > > **Cons**: When I'm working on one of my projects in My Project, certain tabs I click in that project directs me to a different screen and then I have to click in My Projects again and select the project I was working on to get back in it. > > My overall experience has been great. Its easy, fast and simple. Less is more. ----- ### "CIVCAST Saves Time and Money" — 5.0/5 > **Jayeli** | *17 May 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: CIVCAST has streamlined the bidding process for our company and is easy to navigate. The most valuable feature is that it saves our company and bidders TIME and MONEY. Bidder's Lists are maintained, greatly reduces in-house plan production, any changes, Addenda, information can be sent to all plan holders with the click of a button, and it is extremely affordable for our clients. I highly recommend CIVCAST as an affordable, valuable option to promote and maintain bidding projects for your business. > > **Cons**: Our employees are issued American Express corporate cards to pay for company expenses, which unfortunately CIVCAST does not accept. I would like to see AMEX added as a payment method so our employees would not be required to pay out of pocket and seek reimbursement. Otherwise, we are highly satisfied with our experience with CIVCAST. ----- ### "Bidding" — 3.0/5 > **David** | *17 May 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was pretty easy to upload documents and get them dispersed to the various contractors. > > **Cons**: I never received any notifications when questions on the bid were posted and if I did not check, I did not know. It would be nice if there was a notification sent to me when contractors posted questions. > > Overall it was pretty good service, but I am not sure if it really is that much better than just sending the bid out myself. ----- ### "E-file and notifications are very helpful" — 5.0/5 > **Sammy** | *14 May 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am a consultant engineer who put bids together and list them on CivCast on behalf of my client. Very straightforward user interface, options to send/not send notifications for updating/adding docs. Best thing is I can see who downloaded the docs and showed interests in bidding the project. > > **Cons**: Not CivCast's fault. My situation was - It is still legal requirements that government/public school bids need to be advertised on local newspapers. Some newspapers have free e-listing once the client pays to list projects on papers. Sometimes I had to explain to those public gov. agencies why we need to spend on listing on CivCast... Again, not CivCast's fault > > Great platform that gets great, big user base from contractors ----- ### "Ease of Use a "No Brainer"" — 5.0/5 > **Rico** | *14 May 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that bidders (and sub contractors) can submit questions through civcast for everyone to view. I only have to answer the question one time and everyone can see the answer. > > **Cons**: I don't really have any complaints about civcast. Ever since its initial roll out, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been pretty proactive to make sure the experience is intuitive for the users and active in updating the software to keep it relevant to my industry (civil engineering). > > My overall experience with CIVCAST has been great since its inception. I'm a proponant of making business processes as efficient as possible. Moving to a platform like CIVCAST for bid document distribution and tracking just made sense. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/288248/civcast?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/288248/civcast) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
