The Accubid software is a cloud-hosted full-featured estimating solution that facilitates the entire construction workflow. It has items libraries, audit trails, and centralized reporting. It supports Windows XP and has a number of upgrades. For instance, screen styles, report styles, and extension views can be stored centrally. You can share the styles with any user on the network. Its audit trail filter feature uses checkboxes to enable you to specify any filtering scheme. Nevertheless, it would be best if Accubid left in the original predefined filters.
Accubid is a full-featured estimating solution
The original full-featured estimating solution, Trimble Accubid Classic is the most versatile and robust electrical estimating software available. Its software enables complete construction workflow, from estimating to change order management. Designed to eliminate data re-entry, Accubid is versatile and easy to use, making it ideal for both small and midsized companies. In addition, Accubid integrates with Sage Timberline Office and QuickBooks, and provides contract management and document control.
Accubid is easy to use, but it is not very intuitive and may require some training before it is fully functional. There are several videos and tutorials available to help you get started. However, the video quality is sub-par and the sound is muffled. One-on-one training is expensive, and many users feel frustrated with the lack of features and user support. Nevertheless, it is worth considering for large businesses.
It facilitates a complete construction workflow
The Accubid construction management software helps streamline the workflow from project inception to project closeout. The Accubid Classic platform integrates CAD and project management software with a cloud-based construction database, providing the tools to manage purchasing, billing, and project management. It also features labor units and factoring, subtotals, and cost codes. Users can easily manage their project budgets with the help of Accubid's reporting tools and specialized invoice templates.
It provides advanced project management features, such as the ability to break down a bid into logical and physical components. This software also allows users to export bid information into other applications, such as emailing material lists to suppliers. The system also allows users to view the status of all open projects and export information from one location to another. With an audit trail and integrated accounting features, construction software is useful for growing businesses, and can even help prevent costly legal fees.
Trimble Accubid Enterprise item libraries
Trimble Accubid Enterprise is a powerful construction management software. Its item libraries contain important information about materials. These properties include the description, manufacturer, and attribute of the material. Having this information readily available reduces errors and redundancies. It can also sort assemblies based on size, specification, and other important information. In addition to reducing errors, the software also offers customizable takeoff pads. For larger projects, the centralized database makes Accubid Enterprise even more important.
Accubid is a robust database and appears to be very flexible. It features a user interface with multiple views, and the system is very easy to use. Many Accubid users will enjoy its database and the flexibility it provides for adjusting items after takeoff. It's important to note, however, that it requires training to use it effectively. Using Accubid requires that you take a training course for new users.
ESP Estimating cloud-hosted
ESP Estimating offers a custom estimating database via the cloud, which works with the Accubid software platform. Accubid is a specialized installed software, which costs over $4000 per license. It is typically installed on a single PC or a networked server, and checks with a USB dongle to determine whether a user has a license or not. As such, electrical contractors must work on a PC with a USB license to use the software.
Accubid Anywhere by Trimble is a cloud-hosted estimating software with a wide range of features, including estimating, pricing, submittal management, and takeoffs. It uses real-time pricing, allowing users to calculate costs and manage projects in real-time. Accubid Anywhere features a customizable attribute library that lets users create job-specific estimates using standard industry labor rates and custom labor productivity units.
