Estimating Edge and Workpack team up to improve construction estimating

The construction industry often faces challenges with manual takeoff and estimation processes. Estimating Edge and Workpack have joined forces to transform how contractors prepare bids. Estimating Edge, known for its industry-leading software, now integrates Workpack’s AI-driven takeoff capabilities, enabling contractors to streamline workflows and improve project accuracy.  

This collaboration connects Workpack’s advanced takeoff technology with EDGE Smart Takeoff and The EDGE estimating software. Quantity data generated through Workpack can now seamlessly flow into EDGE Smart Takeoff, where it’s tied to specific project details and rendered as 2D visuals. From there, it integrates into The EDGE for precise cost estimations. This streamlined process eliminates tedious manual data entry, ensuring faster results and more consistent outcomes.  

Trades like drywall, painting, and flooring stand to benefit significantly, as the integration reduces time spent on redundant tasks while enhancing accuracy. Estimating Edge’s Dave Chapman explains that the partnership is designed to support contractors in creating efficient, high-quality bids while saving valuable time.  

The partnership also positions contractors to better navigate the complexities of modern construction projects. With increased accuracy and efficiency, teams can focus on strategic decisions rather than manual tasks. By integrating Workpack’s AI with Estimating Edge’s proven software, companies can confidently tackle competitive bids while reducing costly errors. This innovation supports individual contractors and raises the standard for construction estimating across the industry. It’s a step toward fostering smarter, more efficient project management at every stage of development.

Introducing AI into construction estimating represents a step forward for contractors looking to remain competitive in an increasingly demanding market. With this collaboration, companies can better meet deadlines and confidently tackle projects of any scope.  

By combining technology and expertise, Estimating Edge and Workpack are equipping contractors with tools that make complex projects more manageable. Their efforts signal a broader move toward innovation in construction, benefiting both small businesses and large firms alike.
