Auto-gather sub bid data and compare side by side, all in one place. Let team members update bids in real time and track changes. Analyze based on scope, cost, and schedule. Spot gaps and risks.
WinEst has no bid leveling automations. Teams must enter and compare sub bid data manually via third-party tools.
Streamline takeoff with AI. Auto-map floor plans and drawings. Identify objects and materials. Take measurements. Generate quantities. Review, approve, and push numbers into estimates.
WinEst only offers basic takeoff features that require manual input from estimators. Third-party tools are necessary for more complex projects.
Build conceptual budgets and detailed estimates using historical cost data. Automate takeoff. Evaluate subcontractor bids. Manage alternates and fees. All without ever needing to switch apps.
WinEst offers robust estimating features, but relies on additional software for takeoff, bid leveling, and other preconstruction workflows.
