Frequently Asked Questions

How does InEight pricing work?

Because our platform covers the entire construction lifecycle, our customers purchase our software based on their specific needs – purchasing stand-alone products, a bundle of products, or the entire platform. As a result, the pricing will vary depending on the specific product, number of users, and length of contract. Learn more about our pricing methodology here.

What industries does InEight Estimate specialize in?

InEight Estimate is purpose-built for complex, large-scale capital projects across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Mining
  • Oil, Gas & Chemical
  • Transportation
  • Infrastructure
  • Water & Wastewater
  • Power & Renewables

While InEight specializes in these industries, its flexibility makes it a powerful tool for organizations whose portfolio of work spans across a variety of sectors.

How is data managed and governed?

Cloud deployments benefit from Microsoft Azure’s security, encrypted communications, and centralized access control. On-premises deployments rely on your organization’s IT security protocols. The data within your environment is exclusively yours, and no other organization has access to it.

Is InEight Estimate cloud-based or on-premises?

InEight Estimate offer both cloud and on-premises options depending on the needs of your business. Both versions offer full estimating functionality, including advanced quote management, cost item assemblies, customizable work breakdown structures, bid wizard, and template management. However, cloud users benefit from access to new features and integrations as they are released.

How well does InEight Estimate integrate with our existing systems?
InEight Estimate is designed as an open, flexible, and interoperable platform that integrates with a wide range of construction software and enterprise systems. It offers direct integration with popular scheduling tools (such as Primavera P6), takeoff tools (like Bluebeam), and numerous APIs that can be connected to external systems.
Can InEight Estimate help us use benchmarking and historical data in our estimates?

Yes. Every estimate created by any team member in InEight Estimate becomes part of a knowledge library that provides a reference point for quickly validating future estimates. You can add as-built data from completed projects or automatically sync your as-built data when you connect to other InEight software. Use benchmarks to guide new estimates by simply specifying which historical projects to include. InEight Estimate then continually checks every line item in the estimate against the historical benchmarks.

What if we can’t give up some of our Excel-driven processes?

If your estimators rely on extensive estimating spreadsheets with customized calculations that you’re not ready to build out in InEight Estimate, you can use dynamic linking. Import data from Excel into an estimate in the aggregate or link individual values in the InEight estimate to specific Excel cells, for updates in a single click.
