Build estimates that are fast, consistent, and repeatable
Give your team a clear, shared way to structure takeoffs, unit prices, and assumptions so numbers stay aligned from pursuit to handoff.
Why Automate Estimating?
You know how much time gets wasted rebuilding bid tabs every project? Or hunting through old estimates to find that unit price? Automation locks in what already works—standardizing your estimate structure so every bidder uses the same format, surfacing past project costs when you need them, and ensuring clean handoffs to project management.
Teams cut bid prep time in half by standardizing their process. Automation just makes sure it happens consistently—every bid, every time.
Standardized Templates
Lock in your preferred estimate structure so every estimator is working from the same playbook while still allowing flexibility where it matters.
Historical Cost Data
Surface past project data, production rates, and vendor quotes to inform new bids and keep your pricing grounded in reality.
Handoff into Project Management
Push scopes, allowances, and key risks directly into project management so the field starts with a clear baseline.
