Have you ever been knee-deep in a quote for a tight-deadline project, the clock ticking as you scramble through spreadsheets and blueprints? It's chaotic but it’s the reality for many builders and contractors who don’t have the right support.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.
CostMiner’s powerhouse builder estimating software can help you bring order to that chaos. We know from plenty of experience how overwhelming project estimates can get, so we've designed a system to sharpen your accuracy and speed things up, letting you land more jobs without the usual headaches.
Our platform can slot right into your routine, giving you the edge you need to handle everything from initial quotes to final costs. With features built for real-world demands, you'll find yourself wrapping up quotes faster than ever and with fewer revisions.
Submitting an estimate that's off the mark can cost you the whole deal. With the right software, you can avoid this outcome.
Construction estimating tools can tighten your quote by automating calculations and pulling in reliable data points so that there are no errors. At CostMiner, we enable you to kick off estimates in minutes using a familiar spreadsheet setup where you can add items, tweak headings, and grab from your saved assemblies.
This means things like global rate updates will flow through instantly, ensuring your quotes hold up under scrutiny. For small contractors, especially, this precision can turn close calls into wins.
There are plenty of estimating software solutions on the market, but many of them are rudimentary and don’t necessarily have the tools you need. You want software with an intuitive interface that imports PDF and DWG files smoothly and provides scale tools for manual measurement.
CostMiner’s builder estimating software has all of these features, with digital takeoff software that will keep you in the flow so no app-hopping is needed. We also pack in estimate templates for builders, so you can reuse proven setups for common jobs, saving you countless hours on setup.
You also shouldn’t overlook contractor cost management perks, like being able to track variances in real time to spot overruns early.
Jumping between your estimating software and accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks can slow you down big time. Integrating these could save you a lot of time and hassle.
While standalone power is key – since you don’t want software that’s a jack of all trades but a master of none – our builder estimating software plays nice with external accounting apps, which will elevate your setup. CostMiner focuses on seamless data flow within its ecosystem, but you can export figures easily for broader use.
Once your quote has been accepted, the real work kicks in. You’ve got to keep your project costs from spiralling.
Builder estimating software can act as your vigilant sidekick here, monitoring expenses from day one. With project estimating software elements woven into our software, we enable you to make ongoing tweaks to your forecasts based on actuals, using composite rates for bundled items like labour and materials.
This approach will help your forecasts be tighter because you can adjust them on the fly. This is especially useful if you’re juggling multiple sites. Additionally, our cloud access means you and your quantity surveyors can review your costs together, no matter where you are.
Staying ahead requires software that can evolve with industry shifts, like smarter automation and mobile-first designs.
CostMiner tops the list for its blend of affordability and depth, earning loyal users who love the way it boosts their productivity without forcing them into a steep learning curve.
Builders can load 2D plans and scale them for manual measurement inside the software, while remote collaboration on the same job at the same time can cut down on miscommunications.
Furthermore, we're committed to regular updates, which means you will always be competitive, so your projects stay lean and profitable.
