Product Gallery: HCSS HeavyBid Updates for Faster, More Accurate Estimating with Enhanced Takeoff Integration

HCSS, Sugar Land, Texas, announced in November the newest release of HeavyBid, an estimating software for civil construction. The latest release features an improved takeoff integration designed to drive faster estimating and more accurate bids than previous iterations, to streamline the pre-construction process and form a solid foundation for a successful overall construction project.

HeavyBid’s takeoff integration allows customers to import takeoffs into an estimate in HeavyBid. With this feature, customers can directly link takeoff items or create items from the takeoff, instead of manually entering data. With the ability to link or create new line items, users can build estimates from scratch or update them as needed, even as change orders occur. When changes happen, the updated takeoff quantities can be re-uploaded, and specific changes can be selected for integration into the estimate.

“The greatest value this new integration workflow brings to your estimating team is a quality checkpoint,” said Amanda Ayles, group product manager of estimating at HCSS. “There will be a clear message on the project if your estimate is not using the latest quantities from an updated takeoff.”
