Whether you already have The EDGE® or are looking for a way to improve your concrete bids, we have some hidden gems in the system that will improve your concrete work.
Each feature is designed to improve your accuracy, speed and profit margins.
Key Takeaways
- The EDGE offers custom in-depth reporting that’s designed to give estimators and internal and external stakeholders visibility into project costs in real-time.
- With The EDGE’s proposal writer feature, you can pull data directly from your estimate into your bid proposal, saving time and minimizing errors.
- Take advantage of The EDGE’s leading support team to ensure you’re getting the most out of our concrete estimating and takeoff software.
1. Custom In-Depth Reporting
The EDGE gives you the power to generate clear reports that outline every detail in the concrete estimate. Additionally, you can view these reports from any device inside a browser without needing a license.
These reports clear up confusion with internal and external stakeholders and provide real-time insights into project costs, allowing for more accurate financial forecasting.
Concrete estimators can use these reports to:
- Review concrete material, framework and labor costs
- Enhance cost control and budgeting to avoid cost overruns that erode profit margins
- Improve concrete project management and forecast performance based on past projects with similar requirements (types of cement, volume, measurements, pours, framework and labor costs)
Ultimately, estimators in the concrete industry can use The EDGE’s reporting to gain more visibility into their estimates and projects to make better decisions that drive productivity and profitability.
2. Proposal Writer
Proposal writing provides an overview of the project’s scope and examples of past similar projects to clearly define job requirements and specifications for the project owner.
The information provided in the proposal is usually one of the deciding factors for project owners when selecting a concrete contractor for the job.
That’s why The EDGE created its proposal writer feature that pulls data directly from your estimates into your bid proposal.
It empowers you to create fast and accurate proposals while eliminating the opportunity for typos and delays caused by manual entry.
3. Hands-On Support Team
While The EDGE’s concrete estimating features are intuitive, it’s natural to have questions about best practices and how they fit into your operations.
Fortunately, our team of construction industry experts can answer any questions you may have about improving your estimating process with The EDGE or questions about the benefits of concrete estimating software. Additionally, we offer classes with hands-on training to help you get the most out of The EDGE.
