Top Rated Trimble Estimation Alternatives
Trimble Autobid has provided a level of speed and accuracy through their On Screen View Takeoff method that I'm not sure can be matched by any other conventional system. Having over 25 years of experience and employing takeoff methods ranging from pencil and paper to Excel Spreadsheets to where I am today with Autobid(using since 2009) I can honestly say that today's Trimble Estimating system stands well in front as a leader in the industry. Trimble's On Screen View (OSV) method of takeoff (which was introduced in 2009) has stood the test of time as an extremely accurate and fast method of piping takeoff.

Although I have used Trimble's Estimating System for many years, I have never employed their Rapid Reports or Final Bid Summary Modules. That is not to say that they are not effective tools but I have never found them to provide benefit beyond my own Excel Spreadsheet Bid Summary template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using the Allpriser database for takeoff. Allpriser is updating the prices of most products that we quote and we only have to change our discount that gives our supplier based on the Allpriser catalogue.
I really like to be able to change easily a takeoff for an addendum. It easy to add new branches, add/modify a new assembly, delete a part of piping, change the type of piping, etc.
We have a lot of option to customise the interface and I lot report options are available. It is easy to know the area or the volume of duct or piping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Loading the PDF drawings can take awhile and sometimes we have to switch a PDF to TIFF images to be able to see the drawings in Trimble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
