FLEXIBLE ESTIMATE STRUCTURES
TAKE PRECISE CONTROL OF CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES
Avoid costly surprises later in the project lifecycle by building more precise construction estimates. Flexible estimate structures within InEight Estimate allow teams to define the right level of detail for each project, ensuring estimates reflect the full scope, execution approach, and real-world complexity of the job.
FLEXIBLE COST BREAKDOWN STRUCTURES
Structure Costs to Match How Projects Are Built
Build estimates that are accurate and ready to support execution. Easily define cost breakdown structures to match how your team plans and builds – by activity, phase, crew, or discipline. With unlimited levels of detail, you can link costs to the work being performed, improve transparency, and identify cost drivers early.
LINE-ITEM CONFIGURATION AND DETAIL
Define Crews, Productivity, and Resources Where It Matters
Click into any estimate line item to define crews, productivity rates, materials, equipment, work hour factors, fuel consumption and more. This level of detail ensures estimates capture the operational realities of complex construction projects, reducing gaps and minimizing risk caused by missing assumptions.
BID FAST WITHOUT LOSING DETAIL
Reuse Structured Estimate Data to Accelerate Development
Detailed cost estimates don’t have to be time-consuming or sacrifice depth. InEight Estimate helps build estimates faster with reusable cost item assemblies, templates, and historical cost data. Common scopes can be added quickly while preserving crews, resources, and unit rates.
We can put together estimates at least 50% faster with InEight. It allows us to move faster and spend less time doing estimates—while still having confidence that they're right.
