Stop Guesstimating, Start Estimating
Your focus is on doing a quality install job, but the accuracy of your estimate can make or break your business. Manual spreadsheet estimates are time consuming, error prone and often lack detail.
Now you can build estimates you can rely on using Estimation MEP.
Estimating isn’t your only responsibility
As the estimator, you’re wearing many hats. Time is of the essence and you need to get accurate bids out as quickly as they come in.
You find yourself limited by time
With so much pressure on fast turnaround for projects, it's hard to make time to learn how to use complicated estimating software geared toward larger projects or to teach office administration staff how to help you estimate.
Manual methods of estimating are costing you
Manual takeoff is inefficient and difficult to maintain as your business grows. And even a small margin of error can lead to unforeseen expenses and delays, not to mention the costs for printing and storing these paper plans.
Estimating small MEP projects has never been easier
Leveraging the power of graphical takeoff, material pricing and labour, Estimation MEP is an easy-to-use cloud estimating software that helps you build accurate estimates faster.
Say goodbye to hours of manual estimating work.
Electronically measure, count, and mark up PDF drawings directly in Estimation MEP. It automatically lists your takeoffs onto a takeoff sheet saving you hours of work.
