Key Features
- Spec-Driven Estimating: Uses project specifications to guide pricing and assembly selection; users can configure attributes like conduit sizing or material type to match particular jobs.

- Graphical Takeoff: Via integration with Trimble LiveCount; allows estimators to measure quantities directly off of project drawings on screen; supports count-based items and length-based runs.
- Change Order Management: Allows users to build change orders off of the initial estimate’s pricing structure and assemblies; also supports overhead and markup rules via saved templates and can create formatted reports for submission.
- Reporting & Bid Output: Generates client-facing project breakdowns and bid reports; lets you export data into templates or ERP systems via APIs.
- Submittal Management: Tracks and routes submittals and keeps a record of what’s been submitted, approved, and is still outstanding.
- Document Collaboration: Via integration with Trimble Connect; gives teams a shared space for uploading, organizing, and commenting on project documents like drawings and specs.
- Advanced Image Manager (AIM): Offers a standalone companion tool for compiling drawing files.
