Estimating Edge Releases New Article on Time Tracking's Role in Estimating Accuracy

TECHNOLOGY 21.08.2026

BOYNTON BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 21, 2026 / Estimating Edge, developer of leading specialty takeoff & estimating software, The EDGE^®, and a part of Foundation Software's business portfolio, has published a new article addressing the challenges that estimators experience when trying to bid with a disconnected field and office.

Text size:

According to Project Control Academy, roughly 32% of all construction cost overruns trace directly back to estimating errors - and for roofing, flooring and concrete contractors, many of those errors start in the field, with labor data that never quite makes it into the next bid.

When time tracking data and the estimating process run on separate tracks, that gap shows up on the bottom line: profit margins take the hit from cost overruns, and future bids get built on unreliable numbers.

The resource, "What Your Timecards Are Trying to Tell Your Estimator," helps contractors close that gap, showing how time tracking data can sharpen their next bid by covering:

How field time tracking data directly affects future projects
How labor hours captured by cost codes reveal estimate hang ups
How accurate historical time tracking data leads to better labor budgets on the next bid
The most common sources of margin erosion in construction

Additionally, the piece provides an example of construction time tracking software via the mobile app WorkMax^®, The EDGE's sister product, to show how contractors can use a solution to feed the estimating cycle rather than run parallel to it.
