The construction industry is one predicated on maintaining healthy relationships through all levels of interaction. Contractors need to be able to trust their suppliers, and clients need to be able to trust that the contractors they choose to hire will be able to adequately perform the job given to them. Since 1986, SharpeSoft has been an active supporter in the industry through its unwavering commitment to be a source of that trust.
What makes Sharpesoft such a trusted name for cost estimating software for nearly four decades is its passion for service. Excellent service begins by serving with excellence, a set of values that SharpeSoft embodies with its SHARPE mission statement.
SERVE – Purpose-Driven Support for Every Client
The Associated General Contractors of America found that nearly 8.5 million people were employed in some respect to the construction industry in 2024. That’s several million people with different requirements and different goals for each and every one of their projects. It is SharpeSoft’s ultimate goal to be able to provide quality service to as many people as possible, while maintaining the kind of trusted integrity expected from its users. Over the years, we’ve continued to evolve by listening to our customers, building long-term relationships, and designing software tools that work for them
From estimation to project management, cost tracking, and reporting, SharpeSoft serves construction companies with the tools they need to bid smarter, manage better, and grow stronger. The SharpeSoft Estimator wasn’t designed in a vacuum, but crafted based on real-world input from industry professionals.
HELPFUL – Software That Solves Real Problems
Being helpful means creating real value, not bogging key features down in needless complexity. SharpeSoft understands that the nature of the industry requires construction workers to constantly be tasked to produce more with less. That’s why SharpeSoft’s lineup of products are designed to streamline workflow processes, reduce errors, and save time.
However, the easiest way to tell whether a solution works is to compare it with its equals. Hunter Murphy, owner and operator of Sandstone Site Services, speaks on what it was like using competitor software before landing on SharpeSoft:
“We looked at all the big names, and we ended up settling on one of the top companies in the industry due to the entire environment they provided. We at the time had two full time estimators…The implementation was super lengthy, and I don’t think we were ready for what we were taking on there. As we got it implemented, we started having challenges getting our estimators’ buy-in. It was taking a lot more time to get the system into a fashion where they could produce estimates quickly.”
“We never got the software into a position where we could quickly produce estimates and knew we could trust the numbers. It wasn’t easy to understand where the numbers were coming from. We had a lot of issues with clients where they would ask us to change a few items, we would go and change those items, and then all the pricing was different.”
AVAILABLE – Always Here When You Need Us
The SharpeSoft team believes in being dedicated to availability. Construction is an industry which requires long days away from any kind of computer or phone, often while also working odd hours such as nights or weekends.
That’s why SharpeSoft offers top of the line available support. The biggest tradeoff when seeking a support answer is time. SharpeSoft understands and values that its users’ time can be a scant resource given the inclement nature of construction. Less time waiting for a support ticket to be resolved means more time better spent elsewhere, whether on the job or by having that extra hour to spend with family.
Dave Fantini, previously of FDM Contracting, speaks on his experience with the SharpeSoft support experience:
“The support is huge. The support’s been so helpful for me, and being able to get a hold of someone on the weekend is huge. Oftentimes I’ll bid jobs on the weekend because there’s so much going on during the week, so being able to know that there’s someone at Sharpe that I can call when I get stuck is very helpful.”
RESOURCEFUL – Innovating for Every Challenge
The construction industry never stands still. Answers that worked one day may be outdated the next, requiring a constant influx of new information. Perhaps even more importantly is the way this information is presented and distributed; there’s no point if help resources can’t be easily accessed or interpreted.
Knowledge base articles hosted on SharpeSoft’s own portal service instruct users on topics from basic necessities to more niche functions when using products such as the Estimator. Blog articles mimic this information in a more public setting, all while featuring helpful videos linked directly from SharpeSoft’s YouTube channel.
From advanced reporting options to best practices, SharpeSoft’s library of content continually grows with the needs of its users. The resources found in the products themselves are also first class, with hundreds of different available operations that guarantees a potential user will find what they’re looking for.
PERSISTENCE – Committed to Your Long-Term Success
The construction business is full of unknowns – tight timelines, shifting scopes, changing regulations. Through it all, Sharpesoft is persistent in one mission: the long-term success of the construction industry as a whole.
There’s no getting around the size discrepancy between SharpeSoft and its competitors. A fact that doesn’t create worry, but instead drives a constant desire to be better. There’s a reason that SharpeSoft can say it’s a company that’s built a strong loyalty among its users for nearly 40 years.
EXCELLENCE – The Standard We Live By
Excellence isn’t an end result in and of itself. It’s a daily choice made with the best of intentions in mind, aspiring to bring the full potential out of every possibility, be it in business or elsewhere in life.
SharpeSoft’s track record speaks for itself. A winner of SoureForge’s own 2025 Top Performer Award, SharpeSoft hopes to continue to prove itself a valuable member of the construction industry long into the future.
