Estimating systems in construction have historically been a bottleneck when it comes to keeping up with ever-changing project demands. Manual inputs, outdated integrations, and fragmented workflows have cost teams valuable time and money. But now, thanks to a new generation of tools, those days are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Revolutionizing Speed with Data-Driven Intelligence

Active Estimating is redefining efficiency by drastically reducing the time it takes to update takeoffs, budgets, and scope documentation—from multiple days down to just minutes. At the heart of this advancement is a shift toward true Data-Driven Intelligence, which enables teams to make decisions faster while improving accuracy and communication across project stakeholders.

Instead of rebuilding or re-entering estimates from scratch each time a project changes, estimators can now modify scope directly and see live updates ripple through the cost data and visuals. These dynamic feedback loops allow for on-the-fly budgeting and more responsive client engagement.

Built for Today's Construction Workflows

• Cloud-native platform optimized for real-time collaboration
• Automated drawing ingestion and organization
• Rapid quantity takeoffs linked to data structures
• Connected budgets, reports, and proposal tools
• Designed specifically for drywall and related scopes

Why Speed Matters

Time is money—especially in construction bidding and negotiation. Projects often undergo dozens of iterations, and the ability to reflect those changes quickly can make or break a bid. With traditional systems, updates often require hours of rework or complete rebuilding of files.

By reducing update cycles from days to minutes, Active Estimating empowers teams to:

• Respond faster to client revisions
• Improve win rates through timely submissions
• Minimize errors caused by manual duplication
• Allocate more time toward strategy and less toward admin

Field-Tested and Estimator-Approved

This platform has been shaped by extensive feedback from real estimating professionals who know the pain of juggling multiple PDFs, spreadsheets, and static files. The system’s responsive interface and connected data model allow estimators to work smarter, not harder.

Linking Estimates to the Bigger Picture

Beyond speed, Active Estimating introduces a more holistic approach to estimating. It enables seamless coordination between teams, helps surface cost drivers early, and brings clarity to change orders. For executives and operations managers, the platform offers deeper visibility into how scope changes affect budgets before boots hit the ground.

The Road Ahead

With an eye on scalability and performance, future development will continue to enhance user experience, streamline integrations, and support even more complex project requirements. While others remain stuck in outdated tools, forward-looking teams are already seeing a competitive advantage through the power of Active Estimating.
