What is Buildertrend’s Estimate tool?

Buildertrend’s Estimate tool helps you aggregate all project costs – labor, materials, equipment and subcontractor bids – into one organized, accurate estimate that can be turned into proposals and tracked throughout the project lifecycle.

How does Buildertrend’s Estimate tool save time compared to spreadsheets or other software?

By centralizing costs, connecting to Takeoff and Bids and automatically generating Proposals, Buildertrend eliminates double entry, reduces errors and speeds up the estimating process so you can focus on winning more jobs.

Why is it important to create fast, accurate estimates?

Accurate estimates help you win more jobs by pricing projects correctly, avoiding costly mistakes and giving clients confidence – while fast estimates ensure you submit proposals before the competition does.

How does Buildertrend’s Estimate feature connect to my project budget and job costing?

Estimates feed directly into your Job Costing Budget , giving your team a single source of truth to track actual expenses versus projected costs in real time.

Can multiple team members work on the same estimate?

Absolutely. Buildertrend supports collaborative workflows so your project manager, superintendent, office admin and bookkeeper can all access and update estimates while maintaining version control and accuracy.

How can I measure the accuracy of my estimate once the project is underway?

Your estimate becomes the baseline for your Job Costing Budget in Buildertrend. As expenses come in – from purchase orders or change orders – you can compare them in real time against your original estimate. This gives you a clear picture of where you’re on track, where costs are creeping and how your profit margins are holding up throughout the project.
