Construction professionals have long sought streamlined ways to manage estimating, reporting, and bidding processes without compromising accuracy or control. With the introduction of customizable dashboards, Active Estimating is answering that need by delivering a powerful, data-driven solution designed to offer users complete flexibility over their project views.

Transforming Estimating Through Personalized Insights

Rather than relying on static reporting tools or generalized interfaces, Active Estimating’s customizable dashboards empower estimators, project managers, and executives to view the exact metrics that matter most to them—organized in real time. Whether monitoring material costs, labor trends, or subcontractor performance, the dashboard components are configurable to the unique workflow and roles of each user.

Built for Better Decision-Making

These dashboards go beyond standard visualization tools. Users can:

• Create personalized data tiles and filterable components
• Pin key metrics like active bid counts or volume forecasts
• Visualize complex datasets using tables, charts, and widgets
• Access project timelines and performance indicators in a single view

By organizing relevant data into one coherent interface, users can respond more quickly to cost variances, missed deadlines, or scope changes—before they impact profitability.

Streamlining the Estimating Lifecycle

Custom dashboards not only enhance visibility but also improve collaboration across teams. Estimators can align with project managers by sharing the same project pipeline views. Executives can make faster bid/no-bid decisions using high-level financial summaries. And data can be filtered by estimator, client, division, or timeline—enabling truly personalized reporting without leaving the platform.

Designed for Growth and Scalability

Whether a company is operating in a single region or scaling across multiple states, Active Estimating dashboards are structured to grow with the business. The modular dashboard system allows firms to add new categories of data, create division-specific views, or track the performance of new estimators—all from a centralized command hub.

Security and Permissions Built In

Administrators retain full control over who sees what. Custom views can be role-based, protecting sensitive financial information from unauthorized users while still allowing team members to access relevant bid data. This ensures that insights are both actionable and secure.

Elevating Team Accountability and Visibility

Thanks to features such as team-based filters and estimator-specific dashboards, users can now better understand individual workload distribution, pending approvals, and active assignments. With data updated in real-time, everyone from executives to field coordinators can stay aligned on the current status of estimating operations.

One of the most impactful features is the ability to turn data into strategy. With a few clicks, a user can switch from high-level KPIs to line-item project costs, enabling faster diagnosis of performance bottlenecks and more accurate forecasting for future bids.
