Stop Losing Bids
Because Your
Estimates Can't Keep
Pace
You're pricing during active design. Scope isn't fully defined yet. Coordination changes it weekly. Traditional estimating takes too long. Get cost intelligence that works with whatever information exists and updates in hours, not weeks.
Proven on $4B Hospital Complex
California Drywall tracked drywall and ceiling scope through multiple design iterations on a 16-floor, 2.1M SF hospital project. Automated takeoffs updated in hours instead of weeks. Result: 70% faster estimate updates and $80K-$120K labor savings per major revision.

Each trade works with different levels of design information at different times. Select your specialty to see how we adapt to your specific workflow and coordination cycles.
Interior Finishing Contractors
Stop losing margin to coordination changes you never tracked
Start with assembly-based budgets from square footage and room schedules. As architectural models develop, shift to automated takeoffs that update with each coordination cycle. Track every partition and ceiling change without re-measuring. California Drywall saved $80K per estimate update on a hospital project.

Price with confidence before the electrical model exists
Budget early from fixture schedules and equipment lists using historical data. As panel locations and routing develop in the model, shift to automated quantity extraction. Refine pricing as design detail increases through coordination.

Price HVAC systems at any level of design detail
Generate early budgets from CFM loads and equipment schedules. Extract ductwork and piping quantities as the mechanical model develops. Update automatically through coordination cycles as routing evolves and equipment gets specified.

Work from fixture counts to detailed piping coordination
Start with fixture schedules and riser diagrams before piping is modeled. Transition to automated takeoffs as coordination develops. Maintain estimate accuracy as scope clarifies from schematics through construction documents.

See how it worksTraditional Estimating Can't Handle Modern Construction Reality
Early project engagement requires pricing before scope is fully defined. Coordination cycles happen weekly. Information is always incomplete. Manual estimating can't keep up.
Early Pricing Without
Complete Design
Projects require pricing commitments before your trade's scope is fully designed. You need defensible numbers from fixture counts, equipment lists, and historical data when models don't exist yet.
Coordination Changes
Scope Weekly
Models update constantly through coordination. Manual re-takeoffs take days or weeks. By the time you finish, design has changed again. The lag kills competitiveness.
Context Gets Lost
Between Updates
Each estimate revision starts from scratch. Assumptions from earlier versions disappear. Pricing rationale isn't captured. Your team re-learns lessons you already paid for.
Work With Whatever
Information Exists
Two modules that adapt to your design phase. Start early with minimal information. Refine as models develop. Update continuously through coordination.
AEConcept™
Generate detailed budgets before models exist. Uses building program, historical assemblies, and your past project data. Perfect for early project phases, feasibility studies, and conceptual pricing when you have square footage and system assumptions but no geometry.
AEConnect™
Automated takeoffs from BIM models at any level of detail. Works with schematic geometry or fully coordinated models. Extracts quantities and updates estimates in hours as design develops. Proven 70% faster than manual re-measuring. Available now.
AECalibration™
Track installed costs against estimates throughout construction. Variance analysis identifies where estimates missed reality. Feeds learning back into AEConcept assemblies and AEConnect assumptions for continuous improvement on future projects.
