management and information solutions
for the construction industry, recently
announced that it has expanded its current
partnership agreement with ConEst Software
Systems, a leading provider of estimating,
design build, and project management
software for the electrical and datacom
industries. This partnership will be
enhanced through the building of stronger
synergies between Trade Service’s industry
standard content and ConEst’s leading-edge
estimating software, which is in alignment
with the two firms’ mutual goal of improving
their products for the benefit of the

results from delivering competitive
estimates – they need to fuel their
systems with accurate and up-to-date
