Quick Bid ERP Custom Reports & Crystal Reports Solutions

ReportingGuru builds custom Quick Bid reports for construction estimators, connecting directly to your Quick Bid data. Quick Bid — ConstructConnect’s estimating software — generates its reports using Crystal Reports, but building custom reports requires Crystal Reports Designer, which isn’t included with Quick Bid. We understand how Quick Bid integrates with takeoff tools and cost databases, building reports that reflect the full estimating lifecycle — from takeoff quantities to final bid submissions — incorporating assemblies, cost databases, labor rates, and material pricing. With over 21 years of experience, we work as needed with no minimums and no retainer.

Why Quick Bid Users Need Outside Help for Custom Reports

Quick Bid’s built-in reports cover a lot of ground — Bid Summary, Section Markup, Job Cost Summary, Vendor Quote Sheets, Purchasing Reports, and more. But according to [ConstructConnect’s own documentation], building anything beyond the standard reports requires Crystal Reports Designer — software not included with Quick Bid — and ConstructConnect explicitly states they
“do not provide technical support or assistance for creating, editing, or installing Custom Reports,” directing users to “contact a qualified professional familiar with writing/configuring Crystal Reports.”

That’s exactly where ReportingGuru comes in. We build, install, and support custom Quick Bid Crystal Reports so your team isn’t left to figure it out alone.

This approach minimizes data overload while maintaining visibility where it matters most.
