Cut & Fill
In minutes, Cut & Fill determines quantities at an accuracy level difficult to match using manual takeoff methods. And a more accurate earthwork estimate means less money wasted on costly mistakes. Use this application to quickly calculate cut, fill, and strip quantities by simply digitizing the boundary of work, contours, layers, and elevations for the existing and proposed surfaces. The software then determines the cut and fill quantities and graphically displays the results.

Database Editor
The Database Editor provides a set of tools for setup and easy maintenance of the estimating databases you use with Sage Master Builder estimating software. Quickly add records and update fields in multiple records all at once. Global changes are immediately visible in a spreadsheet-style view.

Offering extensive and dynamic help, Database Editor ensures referential integrity of records throughout your database. Changing a phase description, for example, will carry through to the same description referenced in items, assemblies, and in models. You can also use several reporting tools to check your database for missing elements, such as phases or formulas referenced by other database elements.

Digitizer
Digitizer lets you quickly and accurately generate linear, area, and counted takeoff in seconds. It automates your entire digitizing process and reduces all your manual spreadsheet and paper calculations.

Rather than jotting down digitized dimensions on a separate piece of paper or running manual calculations with an outside spreadsheet program, you can use Estimating and Digitizer software to automatically set up a customized dimension list, which you build only once. The list stores all your regularly used dimensions that you can use to complete an existing estimate or save for future estimates on similar jobs.

ePlan Takeoff
By connecting Sage Master Builder estimating software with On Center's On-Screen Takeoff application, ePlan Takeoff, you can generate counts and quantity takeoffs directly from electronic drawings for instant use in your estimates. ePlan Takeoff helps you quickly transfer takeoff quantities and dimensions including lengths, areas, and volumes directly to your estimating spreadsheet. It streamlines takeoff, provides a takeoff audit trail, and lets you create accurate estimates without having to pore over bulky blueprints.

Estimating Explorer
Our Estimating Explorer software includes the tools to organize, manage, and analyze hundreds of estimates with ease. No more tracking down bids through bid journals or estimate archive logs. Instead, you can sort Explorer's comprehensive master list of estimates by name, status, estimator or other criteria to find any estimate within seconds. Estimating Explorer not only organizes your estimates, but gives you the tools to stand back and analyze your work. Use Estimating Explorer's management reports and graphs to quickly find the answers or link estimate information directly to Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access for further analysis.

Estimating Report Manager
Estimating Report Manager simplifies the task of reporting on estimates that you produce with your estimating software. For extensive analysis and reporting, you can easily export estimate data into a reportable file to use with Crystal Reports or Microsoft Access. Select any estimate for reporting, combine estimate items, round item quantities, allocate add-ons, and more. The software provides sample Crystal Report designs, including proposal templates and cross-tab reports, for professional-looking presentations of estimate information. It's a simple way to organize and manage all estimating reports in one central location.

Estimating TRA-SER Integrator
This software automates item pricing, giving you the ability to import and update your Estimating database with item pricing from the Trade Service Corporation solution.

Using Estimating TRA-SER Integrator, you have direct access to Trade Service TRA-SER Premier software—pricing service software for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC components. You choose the Trade Service databases you want to use, which prices to import, and whether to adjust pricing by a multiplier or import it "as is." Once you've set up the integration, maintaining item pricing is as simple as a few mouse clicks.

Estimating Viewer
Estimating Viewer makes it possible for anyone to view and print Sage Master Builder estimates. In addition, users have access to all the advanced sorting and reporting capabilities previously only available to estimators using Sage Master Builder estimating software. At any time, someone can quickly see where costs and quantities have varied between two similar projects or zero in on where unit costs have changed between conceptual, interim, and final estimates.

With Estimating Viewer, you have a safe way to share your estimate information, without having to be concerned with edits that could compromise your takeoff, database, or spreadsheets. Your data always remains intact, no matter how many people are reviewing it.

Model Estimating
Model Estimating lets you create detailed conceptual estimates by answering a series of basic questions about a project. You simply respond to a list of on-screen questions about the project and let Model Estimating tap into the Commercial Knowledgebase to produce fast, precise conceptual estimates in a fraction of the time.

Backed by extensive detail, everything you need to support your bid, concept, or estimate is there in black and white—costs, quantities, crews, hours, and waste factors.

Scheduling Integrator
Quick, realistic project schedules are an estimate away when using the Integrator to connect Estimating to industry-standard scheduling software such as Primavera or Microsoft Project for Windows.

A great tool to jump-start and simplify the scheduling process, Scheduling Integrator gives you instant access to labor and equipment details, material items, productivity factors, and estimator notes. The task plan for building a schedule is practically done for you. Simply open the project file in your scheduling software and you're well on your way.
