Protect Margins Through Stronger Estimating

TECHNOLOGY 24.04.2026

BOYNTON BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 24, 2026 / Estimating Edge, developer of the commercial construction estimating platform The EDGE® and a part of the Foundation Software business portfolio, has published a new guide to estimating software customization.

Text size:

The resource, partially titled "Considerations for Customization" offers construction estimators a practical framework for customizing their software to better reflect how their companies build and bid.

When estimating software isn't configured to reflect how a company works in the field, the gap between what's estimated and what's earned can be hard to spot until it's already cost something.

This resource gives estimators a structured way to find and close those gaps before they affect the next bid.

Topics covered include:

Building a database that reflects your specific specialty trades
Setting labor rates, productivity factors and crew mixes that reflect real-world costs
Standardizing markups, overhead, profit and job conditions - including bonded and premium projects - within reusable templates
Customizing reports so stakeholders receive the right information at the right time
Establishing a step-by-step process for auditing workflows, building master templates and training teams

Estimators who read the full resource will come away with a clear action plan for tightening their setup, sharpening bid accuracy and protecting margins bid after bid.
