The construction industry is undergoing a digital revolution, but estimation processes often lag behind, costing companies time, money, and opportunities. With increasing project complexity and competition, relying on outdated estimation methods is no longer sustainable. This newsletter explores the top trends reshaping construction estimation, the challenges companies face, and how a CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) application can help your business stay ahead of the curve.

The Challenges in Construction Estimation
  • Manual Processes: Spreadsheets and manual data entry are error-prone and time-consuming, leading to delays and inaccuracies.
  • Fragmented Data: Teams work in silos, creating inconsistencies in estimates and tender submissions.
  • BOM Complexity: Managing multi-level Bill of Materials (BOMs) for large-scale projects becomes a logistical nightmare.
  • Customization Bottlenecks:Generating clientspecific estimates and multi-currency pricing takes too much time.
  • High Costs: Traditional ERP systems offering estimation tools are expensive and lack flexibility.
  • Top 3 Trends in Construction Estimation:
  • Manual Processes: Spreadsheets and manual data entry are error-prone and time-consuming, leading to delays and inaccuracies.
  • Centralized Digital Platforms: Companies are moving to centralized platforms where all data-BOMs, revisions, pricing templates-is easily accessible and shareable across teams. This reduces miscommunication and streamlines workflows.
  • Customization and Client-Centric Solutions: Businesses are prioritizing tools that allow for tailored estimates, multi-currency pricing, and fast generation of professional quotes. Clients expect personalized service, and technology makes this possible.
