HCSS Webinar – What’s New V2024
This is a recent webinar that HCSS did on the new features of V2024. Good to see HCSS doing these webinars on the updates, and I will be posting some blogs on them as well. You will need your HCSS credentials to log into the…
V2024 HeavyBid Available
Version 2024 is now available. There are some notable new features, but as it is a new version, common bugs and annoyances have been fixed. One new feature is the ability to search for resources in Tree View on the View Pane. Pretty cool. Go…
Version 2023.2 Improvement
I noticed a significant improvement in Version 2023.2 that I never expected. A redesign of the Estimate Information screen. It shows me that the HeavyBid Dataflex version will continue to improve as the rewrite of HeavyBid is underway. I don’t expect to use the new…
HeavyBid 2023.2 Release!
I will admit that I love new releases of about any software. For those of you that want direct export to HeavyJob Web your wait is over. I am interested also on how the Autobackups to the Web will work as well as the Codebooks…
New Support Phone Number

HeavyBid Version 2022.2 Release Notes
Version 2022.2 is available for download now, and it does look interesting. There are some significant improvements to the Quote System, test connection now for P6, which was needed, revisions to reports, and of course, bug fixes. It was more than I expected. It doesn’t…
Creating Material on the Fly – No Tax Option
This was added in HeavyBid Version 2022.1. So when you add a material code in Tree View you get the box as shown below. Much better than having HeavyBid ask you a yes/no question. Way to go programmers! I wish there was documentation for 2022.1…
HeavyBid Version 2022.1
HeavyBid 2022.1 has been released but there are no notes on what is this release. More to come on this release but it will be pretty much correcting some bugs and have a few new improvements. This will be the final update I suspect until…
