Estimating in construction has long been hindered by inconsistency, especially when it comes to the application of assembly codes across projects. Active Estimating is changing that by delivering a uniform approach that ensures each project adheres to standardized expectations, eliminating ambiguity and reducing inefficiencies.
For decades, estimators and project managers have faced challenges interpreting varying code systems that often differ from project to project or between departments. This inconsistency leads to delays, errors, and additional work downstream. By enforcing a standardized system for all assembly codes, Active Estimating streamlines the workflow from takeoff through closeout.
Instead of relying on fragmented or legacy approaches, Active Estimating uses data-driven intelligence to define and apply assembly codes across all trades and projects. This centralization ensures consistency, allowing project teams to focus on execution rather than interpretation.
The platform also allows firms to tailor the level of granularity applied to each code—whether looking at high-level bid packages or line-item-level material definitions—giving users flexibility without sacrificing accuracy.
One of the biggest advantages of standardizing assembly codes is the unification of workflows. With a common language built into the estimating system:
By having one system for classifying and managing assemblies, organizations eliminate the disconnect between estimation, project management, and accounting. What’s bid is what’s tracked, and what’s tracked is what’s managed.
Active Estimating continues to raise the bar for how estimating software can serve complex commercial construction environments, making standardization not just a feature—but a foundation.
