Thabo Review

Comments: Overall I am happy with the product and would recommend any professional in the construction industry to invest in this powerful product . Candy Makes Project Budgeting, Estimating and cost controlling much simple.

Cons:

The frequent updates only really , otherwise I am happy with the product

Candy - An Excellent Tool

Comments: Excellent

Pros:

Most of what I use Candy for is the QTO and Estimating portions. I find them very useful and quick to use. I do enjoy that the software is continually being updated and changing to make it easier to use and more streamlined.

Cons:

As I mostly use the QTO function, I do come across a few minor bugs. Sometimes QTO will crash or state that there is an unexpected error; or sometimes the length or area tools will bug out when inserting new point etc. However this is not a major issue.

Candy in my workspace...

Comments: I would definitely recommend Candy to any Construction business. You have to keep up with changing times to stay ahead of your competition and Candy is one of the best ways to do so. The courses that you can do with the program is also fantastic and you learn so much.

Pros:

What I like most about Candy is the ease of using the product. Once you are set up and start going it makes your work a lot easier. It safes time and money, and in business time is money. I love how I can do my programming, subcontracting and pricing all at once. Project Management is made more efficient with Candy.

Cons:

Initially getting all the "meat" for estimating of projects (Masters) can be a challenge. Pricing per license can get a little expensive if you do not make use of the program a lot.

my comments

Comments: it's likely application, easy and not risky since it's stable software

Pros:

importing worksheets from sheet to another one

Cons:

housekeeping process is so easy to recode all workgroup

CCS

Comments: CCS is great for pricing tenders. It is great for assisting with the preparations of the cost reports

Pros:

I enjoy the estimating and valuations . I like the fact that you can customize it for your own uses.

Cons:

The difficulty and amount of time that it takes to programme on CCS. There is a lack of clarity of how to link everything and pricing multiple items with the same description.

CCS / Candy

Comments: Witnessed a transformation of Candy from a DOS based platform to recent look which is not just a cosmetic touch it's enhanced like anything with strong features from setting up a job at pre-tender stage and helping through out the construction cycle till handover

Pros:

Candy is a complete solution for a construction firm

Cons:

cash flow needs some more improvement and reporting tools Couldn't explore it to a full extent

Ahmed Elsayed CCS Review

Comments: my experience in Estimation . I solved how calculate amounts of alternative items without adding to overall project total cost.

Pros:

CANDY software save more time and easily review and updated . I can make many useful reports from CANDY.

Little reports can not be extracted from CANDY such as resources per trade with number of BOQs for repetitive BOQs.
