Join the Active Estimating™ Innovation Program

Be among the first to transform how construction projects are estimated.

Active Estimating’s Innovation Program is designed for forward-thinking owners, architects, general contractors, and trades who want to lead the next generation and looking to gain competitive advantage through data-driven cost estimation.

  • Percentage decrease

    70% reduction in estimate update time (from weeks to days)

  • 4 times iterations

    At least 4X more estimate iterations with the same resources

  • Cost certainty

    Unmatched cost certainty through real-time design-to-estimate synchronization

  • Potential savings

    Potential savings of ~1.2% of contract value per project annually

The Estimation Challenge

In today’s construction environment, accurate cost estimation is the cornerstone of successful projects, yet traditional estimation processes are plagued by:

  • Inconsistent tracking: Estimates starting with high-level systems lead to cost overruns as details emerge
  • Limited updates: Estimates typically only update at major milestones, creating silos between design and estimating teams
  • Labor-intensive processes: Each iteration requires extensive manual work, making updates costly and time-consuming
  • Repetitive start-up costs: Projects often begin estimation from scratch, repeating mistakes and inefficiencies
  • Difficulty tracking differences: Manual efforts are required to identify discrepancies between takeoff and model data
  • Legacy Software Rigidity: Legacy systems have inflexible data and estimate structures, making them incompatible with modern preconstruction tools.
