Comments:After six months of exploring the estimating software products available on the market, my company chose Trimble's Accubid. This product outshines the competition in many ways. The main ways are the fully customizable database, integrated supplier pricing module, multi user capabilities and the live update feature that transfers from takeoff to extension to labor makeup and topsheet tabs. The reporting module is great in that it looks very professional and allows the user to analyze data taken from the entire project. The integrated supplier pricing module is invaluable for larger companies in that its an extreme time saver and gives the user certainty on their materials or commodity pricing. If your company uses external bidding tools as well, the Accubid data can also be exported to predefined templates easily. I would definitely recommend Accubid to another contractor or colleague. We are very happy with our purchase!

Customers that put their faith in Accubid and make the most of its features can see why it was named a Construct Tech Top 50 Product.
TRIMBLE ACCUBID CLASSIC ESTIMATING WITH A COMPREHENSIVE MATERIAL DATABASE CONTAINING OVER 9,500 ASSEMBLIES-TRIMBLE ACCUBID CLASSIC IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH Trimble Accubid Classic is the original full featured electrical estimating solution that facilitates the complete construction workflow, from estimating to purchasing, project management and billing. PROVEN MATERIAL DATABASE Installed as a client solution only, Trimble Accubid Classic is powered by a comprehensive material database with over 33,000 items and 9,500 assemblies-flexible enough for any sized project. You can hit the ground running with labor units, labor factoring, labor tracking and cost codes built right into the program. DYNAMIC TAKEOFFS Easily create custom, project specific assemblies on-the-fly allowing Trimble Accubid Classic to meet the needs of your unique projects. The built-in dynamic takeoff capability automatically calculates the required quantities for each component in an assembly based on length or count specifications. MULTI-LEVEL BREAKDOWNS Applying takeoff breakdowns in a multi-dimensional format, allows users to view subtotals across breakdowns in any order. With complete flexibility and control, you can easily re-sort the extension and breakdown the bid REQUIRED QUANTITIES FOR EACH BASED ON LENGTH OR COUNT UPDATED FINAL PRICING SCREEN SHOWS BOTH THE PRICING AND PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS LIVE EXTENSIONS The Live Extension functionality instantly calculates each takeoff as it occurs. With a single click, you can jump from the audit trail to the extended bill of materials. Easily sort the bill of materials to perform last minute checks and ensure accuracy. Changes to the quantity, material and labor are immediately reflected in the final Trimble Accubid Classic's Instant Bid Summary allows you to compare components of the estimate using labor-to-material ratios, costs per foot, per system or per floor. With Accubid Pro or BidWinner Plus, you can create multiple bid summaries, each with different combinations of takeoff breakdowns. Last minute adjustments, modifications, and 'what-ifs' can be easily PROJECT MANAGEMENT With sophisticated project management features you can break down the entire bid by logical and physical aspects such as floor, system, area, cost code, or drawing, and export this information to other applications including Excel, MS Project, and Trimble Construction Project managers can quickly create a preliminary construction schedule or e-mail material lists to suppliers.

Electrical estimating software helps electricians, electrical engineers, and contractors plan out expenses related to upcoming and current projects. Sometimes labeled as electrical estimating takeoff software, these products form a specific subset of construction estimating software that focuses only on streamlining electrical work projects, from new construction to remodels to basic maintenance.
Automated estimating software helps to reduce time spent on calculating and preparing quotes or bids. Previously, electricians would have to measure conduits, wires, and other dimensions manually in order to estimate what materials were needed. Then they had to determine how many labor units were necessary and what, if any, equipment had to be used. Through electrical estimating software, blueprints and schematics can be used to gain this information in an instant.
Even small electrical projects can go over-budget due to unforeseen circumstances. An electrical estimating software provides an improved ability to ensure project profitability by producing more reliable estimates using automated calculations from construction takeoffs and historical data. No more plugging data into an Excel spreadsheet and making manual calculations when you use an automated estimating system.
For example, you might realize a particular job will have higher labor costs than anticipated while preparing the estimates, allowing you to back out of the bidding process early and avoid expensive complications later. In other cases, material prices might have increased due to shortages. Using software to track material pricing in real-time gives your electrical bid manager the chance to offer clients more affordable substitutions during the bid process, providing better customer support from the start and potentially increasing profit margins. 2ff7e9595c
