Estimating Edge's new The EDGE® Estimator, which is equipped with cloud-based capabilities and industry expert support, targets the needs of commercial concrete contractors. This advanced concrete estimating tool could potentially streamline operations for businesses and allow contractors to "quickly and effectively bid on concrete jobs."
The EDGE® Estimator allows users to request, compare, and import concrete pricing through its secure portal while the system also automatically pulls bid data into custom proposals for faster bidding. Estimating Edge's new software can also glean project dimensions directly from blueprints. This could allow for more efficient and precise concrete volume calculations. The platform's Smart Labor® Technology works to adjust concrete labor rates based on the complexity of the task.
