QUOTE MANAGEMENT
SIMPLIFY QUOTE MANAGEMENT IN CAPITAL PROJECT ESTIMATING
Managing quotes shouldn’t slow down the estimating process. InEight Estimate quote management capabilities allow teams to send, receive, and compare subcontractor and vendor quotes directly within your estimating workflow. Efficiently manage last-minute changes and ensure estimates reflect the most accurate and competitive pricing available.
REAL-TIME QUOTE VISIBILITY
Centralize and Organize All Quotes in One Place
Eliminate the need to search through emails and spreadsheets by managing all subcontractor and vendor quotes in a centralized workspace. Organize quotes by material type, trade, or discipline, and track submissions, missing responses, and revisions in real time. This gives estimators clear visibility into every quote tied to the estimate.
BUILT-IN BID LEVELING
Compare Pricing Consistently and Confidently
Built-in bid leveling tools support accurate, side-by-side comparison of quotes beyond dollar amount alone. Compare scope, quantities, unit pricing, and terms to ensure consistent evaluation. With quote data directly connected to the estimate, selected pricing can be applied in just a few clicks.
CONCEPTUAL ESTIMATE SUPPORT
Develop Early Estimates Using Prior Quote Data
Early-stage estimates do not need to start from zero. Teams can leverage prior subcontractor and supplier quotes with InEight Estimate to develop conceptual estimates and preliminary budgets—supporting feasibility analysis, owner discussions, and early capital planning.
AUTOMATIC ESTIMATE UPDATES
Keep Estimates Aligned with Last-Minute Quote Changes
Quote updates automatically flow into the estimate as you make changes to the quote price, enabling you to see the impact of pricing changes in real time. A built-in change log captures before-and-after cost impacts, helping teams understand how quote revisions affect the overall estimate.
