Description
Sage Estimating (formerly Timberline Estimating) offers integration with Excel, as well as RS Means. The software also supports conceptual estimating, and proposal generation. Construction firms interested in the construction estimating application will also likely want to purchase the construction takeoff application.
Construction firms that need one or more templates in their estimating software should avoid the starter package as it does not come with any templates in the estimating software. The software features a standard version, as well as an extended version that includes estimating templates. Both versions come with pre-built databases ready to use “out of the box.” Databases can be easily customized, too.
We find the capabilities of Sage Estimating fit the needs of construction firms across all segments. Whether you are a firm that specializes in utility contracting or mechanical and HVAC construction, the product can suite your needs. We find that the primary limiting factor here is revenue. Sage Estimating is best suited for companies that run operations of at least $1 million due to the Timberline software cost. Construction firms beyond this benchmark will find this solution to be suitable.
