ProEst
Estimating
Autodesk's cloud-based estimating platform, built to centralize a company's takeoffs, cost databases, and bid proposals in one place.
What it does
ProEst combines digital takeoff and cost estimating in one connected platform, drawing on reusable cost databases and templates so a bid doesn't start from a blank sheet every time. Its dashboard reporting compares an estimate's original numbers against a project's actual costs once work is underway, and integrations with accounting platforms like QuickBooks carry a winning bid's numbers straight into the company's books.
Key features
- Digital takeoff and cost estimating in one connected platform rather than separate tools
- Reusable cost databases and templates so a bid doesn't start from a blank sheet every time
- Job costing and dashboard reporting comparing an estimate against a project's actual costs later
- Integration with accounting platforms like QuickBooks so a winning bid's numbers flow into the company's books
How it's actually used
- An estimator builds a bid from a reusable cost database instead of re-pricing every material and labor line from scratch
- A preconstruction manager compares a job's original estimate against its actual costs once the project is underway, to see where the bid was accurate and where it wasn't
