Estimating

Accurate estimates are an imperative. You need bids that are precise, reliable, fast. Our core estimating application gives you extra muscle from a full range of thorough databases packed with thousands of standard industry items you can use right away — or enhance with your own unique items, formulas, and factors. You can also integrate with RSMeans databases and pricing services. Add Digitizer and tight, accurate estimates are a snap.

To simplify even further, get ball-parks or conceptual estimates out in a hurry. With Model Estimating, answer a series of basic on-screen questions and view the impact of your changes.

Sage Timberline Office's first-of-its-kind Commercial Knowledgebase gives you ready-to-go models also supported by RSMeans pricing. Re-price estimates based on location. Select from 700 cities and let the City Cost Index fill in the blanks.
