Estimating Edge

Winning construction projects starts with building accurate, competitive bids.

But manual bidding can be time-consuming and leave room for errors in takeoffs, calculations and costs. As estimating demands grow, these challenges can make it harder to bid efficiently and stay competitive.

Construction estimating software can help contractors streamline the bidding process, improve accuracy, manage complex calculations and handle growing volumes of estimates.

How Bidding Software Gives Contractors A Competitive Edge Gain a competitive advantage with construction bidding software. Build powerful, accurate estimates faster and win more profitable contracts.

Construction cost estimating involves much more than calculating material and labor costs.

From reviewing project requirements and site conditions to accounting for pricing, insurance, overhead, profit and contingency, estimators have to consider a wide range of project costs.

A labor productivity rate might work for one job, but what happens when the conditions change?

Imagine you’re a painting contractor. Your crew can typically paint an 8-foot wall at a certain rate. But if that wall is 10 feet high, ladder adjustments can slow the crew down.

Over the course of a project, those small changes can add up, affecting total labor hours and costs.

When estimating labor, it’s important to account for the conditions that can impact productivity.

What conditions have the biggest impact on your labor estimates?

The details matter when you're building a bid. From starting with an accurate estimate to accounting for every cost, using good information and the right tools, each step can help you create a more reliable bid.

And because construction costs and market conditions change, keeping your estimating practices up to date matters too.

Which of these five lessons is most important to your estimating process?

An inaccurate takeoff can create problems long before a project begins.

Order too little material and you could face delays. Order too much and you could be left with unnecessary expenses. And when quantities are off, you may also be dealing with change orders and unexpected project costs.

Getting the takeoff right is an important first step toward building an accurate estimate.

How confident are you in your takeoff process?

Contractors are constantly balancing competitiveness with profitability.

A bid that’s too high could send the project to a competitor. A bid that’s too low could put profits at risk if unexpected costs or delays arise.

Accurate estimating can help contractors build more precise bids, avoid costly errors and make more informed decisions before submitting a bid.
