In the rapidly evolving construction industry, the need for speed, precision, and flexibility in estimating is more crucial than ever. Active Estimating responds to this demand by delivering a streamlined digital solution that drastically reduces the time and friction traditionally associated with project estimation workflows. Leveraging Data-Driven Intelligence, the platform empowers estimators to produce faster, more accurate takeoffs and bids, ultimately enhancing project profitability and contractor competitiveness.

Reducing Time-Consuming Manual Workflows

Historically, the estimation process has required excessive manual data entry, spreadsheet work, and the coordination of disconnected systems. Active Estimating eliminates these pain points by offering an intuitive, unified platform where all components of an estimate are connected. This integrated environment ensures:

• Instant generation of scope-specific takeoffs
• Real-time syncing between takeoff quantities, labor, and material pricing
• Centralized project data management with built-in collaboration tools

What Sets Active Estimating Apart

Designed with real users in mind, the system incorporates a flexible architecture that fits seamlessly into both small and large estimating teams. Key highlights include:

• A modern interface that accelerates onboarding and daily use
• Smart templates that adapt to varying project types and scope complexities
• Automated cost and labor analysis for more confident bidding
• Visual dashboards to track project performance and estimating efficiency

Benefits for Drywall Estimators

Drywall contractors face unique challenges that demand speed and accuracy at scale. Active Estimating addresses these through features tailored to the drywall trade:

• Trade-specific assemblies and pricing logic that reflect real-world applications
• Tools to manage revisions and alternates with clarity and speed
• Output formats designed to meet the needs of field teams, general contractors, and internal financial reviews

Accelerating Turnaround Time

The biggest competitive edge today is time. With Active Estimating, firms are turning around bids in hours—not days. From RFQ intake to final proposal, every step is digitized and optimized. Estimators can quickly compare alternates, validate changes, and collaborate across teams without the delays common in legacy workflows. This results in more opportunities pursued, greater proposal accuracy, and stronger win rates.

Data-Driven Intelligence at the Core

Unlike static systems or spreadsheets, Active Estimating incorporates a foundation of Data-Driven Intelligence to ensure that every bid reflects current pricing, productivity trends, and project-specific variables. This analytical capability drives better forecasting and resource planning across the entire estimating process.

In an industry where margins are tight and timelines are tighter, Active Estimating provides the tools necessary to win more work with greater efficiency and accuracy.
