In response to the increasingly complex and variable nature of wall construction in modern commercial projects, Active Estimating has implemented a flexible system that adapts to custom wall assembly requirements across a range of specifications. As architects, contractors, and general contractors move toward more intricate and performance-driven assemblies, accurate, real-time estimating has become more critical than ever before.

Custom Assemblies, Simplified

The demands of custom wall assemblies—whether driven by seismic conditions, acoustic performance, sustainability targets, or project-specific architectural design—require estimating software that doesn’t force estimators into rigid templates. Active Estimating’s platform delivers flexibility where it matters most, with the ability to model, track, and report on unlimited combinations of wall types, layers, materials, and performance specs, all within a unified system.

Data-Driven Intelligence Powers Precision

Rather than relying on generic assumptions, Active Estimating employs data-driven intelligence to support the estimator’s role with contextual recommendations, pattern recognition, and cost insight based on historical project data. This allows users to account for the nuances of each project’s assemblies without losing time to manual rework or spreadsheet manipulation.

Benefits for Estimators and Contractors

• Rapid input and configuration of project-specific wall systems
• Automatic cost adjustment for layered changes across finishes and substrates
• Intelligent grouping and organization of assemblies for fast updates
• Adaptable logic to account for hardware, fasteners, insulation, and labor shifts

This structured approach enables estimators to focus on value generation rather than mechanical processes, particularly when working with prefabricated systems or evolving construction documentation.

Streamlined Collaboration Across Stakeholders

Because wall assemblies often evolve in coordination with architects and engineers throughout preconstruction, Active Estimating supports version tracking, visual markups, and clear communication across teams. Each assembly can be adjusted and re-quantified in seconds—keeping bids accurate even as project documents change.

Modular, Scalable Design for Future Expansion

The modular framework of the platform ensures that it can scale with project complexity, contractor size, and changing code requirements. Whether it’s a high-rise commercial structure, a seismic retrofit, or a large educational facility, the system ensures that custom assemblies are never an obstacle to fast and confident bidding.

Proven Success in the Field

In pilot programs and early deployments, the Active Estimating system has shown strong ROI by significantly reducing change order exposure and enhancing estimating team efficiency. Estimators previously reliant on disconnected spreadsheets and siloed data have now streamlined workflows that empower decision-making and improve margins.

For commercial drywall professionals seeking a powerful estimating tool tailored to today's dynamic build environment, Active Estimating stands ready to adapt to your custom wall system needs.
