Concrete Estimating Software | Concrete Takeoff

Stop losing money on inaccurate concrete bids. Our commercial structural concrete takeoff and estimating software helps construction industry professionals eliminate costly overruns, cut material waste and turn every estimate into profit. Complete concrete takeoffs for footings, slabs, walls, formwork and all commercial concrete projects in minutes, not hours.


The EDGE® Estimator for Concrete Bidding

Reduce estimating time while boosting profit margins. Our software is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of commercial concrete contractors working on foundations, flatwork, walls and footings. Easily create a workflow that reflects the exact jobs you manage.

All-In-One Platform

Eliminate hours of manual concrete measurements.

Count and measure in the same system without dealing with the headaches of using multiple systems. Calculate cubic yards of concrete, tons of rebar and aggregate quantities with dead-on accuracy for precise cost estimates.

Custom Layout

Perfect concrete planning for any project size.

Quickly set up common conditions like concrete depths and widths for footings, slabs and walls. Then, easily adjust for specific job requirements, such as rebar placement, anchor bolts, excavation requirements or complex formwork configurations.

Seamless Data Sharing

Accurate foundation and slab estimates every time.

Utilize our intuitive takeoff tool to accurately measure project dimensions for footings, walls and flatwork, which then gets directly inputted into the estimating software.

The EDGE incorporates updated material pricing for concrete, rebar, aggregate, vapor barrier, fiber reinforcing and membranes to generate precise cost estimates.

Smart Labor® Technology

Precise concrete labor calculations.

Dynamically adjust labor rates based on task complexity for forming, pouring and finishing work. This ensures accurate cost estimates for projects of varying difficulty. For example, the labor rate for setting up forms and placing rebar for a 6-foot footing will differ from that of a 12-foot footing.

Streamlined Processes

Professional-grade accuracy that wins bids.

Make universal edits to concrete materials, depths, widths, rebar specifications and labor rates across your entire estimate. The EDGE will recalculate everything in cubic yards, linear feet, square feet and tons — saving time and reducing the risk of costly mistakes.

Concrete Estimating Software FAQs

  • What Is Concrete Estimating Software?

    Concrete estimating software is a specialized digital tool designed to help contractors accurately calculate material quantities, labor costs and project expenses for concrete construction projects.

    The EDGE provides industry-leading accuracy and efficiency, handling everything from cubic yards of concrete to tons of rebar, formwork requirements and labor costs. The concrete takeoff software calculates the necessary information for footings, slabs, walls and other concrete structures.

  • How Does Concrete Estimating Software Work?

    Concrete estimating software allows contractors to perform digital takeoffs from project plans and calculate material quantities and costs.

    The EDGE simplifies estimating and takeoff for concrete estimators. It calculates cubic yards of concrete, linear feet of forms, square feet of surfaces and tons of rebar.

    The EDGE applies current material pricing and labor rates to generate accurate estimates for your concrete projects.

  • How Do I Calculate Cubic Yards Of Concrete Needed?

    Calculating cubic yards requires measuring the length, width and depth of each concrete element. Then, convert those measurements using the following formula:

    Length (Feet/3) × Width (Feet/3) × Depth (Feet/3) = Cubic Yards.

    The EDGE calculates cubic yards by measuring the length, width and depth of concrete elements like footings, slabs and walls. It accounts for waste factors and specific project requirements to ensure accurate concrete quantities.

  • What's The Difference Between Concrete Software And General Estimating Software?

    General estimating software provides basic calculation tools but lacks the specialized databases and trade-specific features needed for concrete construction.

    Concrete-specific software like The EDGE includes specialized databases for concrete materials, rebar configurations, formwork systems and trade-specific labor rates. It understands the unique requirements of concrete construction that general software cannot properly address.

  • How Much Time Does Concrete Estimating Software Save Contractors?

    Concrete estimating software can dramatically reduce the time spent on takeoffs and calculations compared to manual methods or basic spreadsheets.

    Most concrete estimators experience significant time savings when using specialized concrete estimating software. Instead of spending hours on manual measurements and calculations, you can complete takeoffs in minutes and bid more concrete projects in the same timeframe.

  • Why Choose Specialized Concrete Software Over Spreadsheets?

    Spreadsheets are prone to errors and lack the specialized features needed for accurate concrete estimating.

    The EDGE’s concrete takeoff software eliminates the costly mistakes common with spreadsheets. It provides professional-grade accuracy and updates material costs. It also handles complex calculations for rebar, formwork and concrete quantities that are error-prone in manual systems.
