From takeoff to
winning bid.
Your takeoff quantities flow directly into a complete bid — with material markup, labor rates, waste factors, deductions, and every adjustment your estimating process requires.
Every adjustment,
one place.
Material markup, labor burden, waste factors, bond costs, volume discounts — configure them all in one view. Watch the final bid number update in real time as you dial in your pricing.
Labor costs that
reflect reality.
Set base rates by trade role. Apply burden multipliers for benefits, taxes, and insurance. Allocate hours across your crew mix. The bid total reflects your actual labor cost — not a guess.
Every lever an estimator
actually uses.
Percentage and flat-fee markup
Apply material markup, overhead, and profit as percentage or fixed dollar amounts. Stack multiple adjustments and see cumulative impact instantly.
Configurable labor rate tables
Set base rates by role — journeyman, apprentice, foreman. Apply burden multipliers for benefits, taxes, and insurance automatically.
Material waste built into every line
Configure waste percentages by material category. Wire, conduit, and fittings each carry their own waste factor so your bids reflect real-world usage.
Volume discounts and credits
Apply customer discounts, negotiated reductions, and credits. Deductions display separately so the customer sees the value.
Hours per unit for every item
Each product in your library carries default installation hours. Override at the line item level when site conditions demand it.
Standardized bid structures
Save your markup rules, labor configurations, and adjustment templates. Apply them to new projects in one click for consistent, repeatable bids.
Job-level cost adjustments
Add bond costs, insurance requirements, and permit fees as percentage or flat adjustments. They roll up into the total bid automatically.
Every adjustment is tracked
Full change history on markup, deductions, and rate changes. Know who changed what and when — critical for bid defense and post-award negotiations.
