What is Trimble Estimation Software?

Trimble Estimation, previously known as Viewpoint Estimation, is a full-featured estimating tool made for the needs of contractors who work with mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Trimble Estimation lets you automate the estimating process, lower bidding costs, and, most importantly, win jobs so you can make the most money. It was made with features that are specific to your trade. 

The software has Digital Takeoff, integrated pricing tools that give instant access to pricing from your suppliers, specification-driven takeoff, and dynamic assemblies. Autofitting generation is another feature of Trimble Estimation. With this feature, you can automatically make and count fittings, which speeds up and improves the accuracy of estimates.

See How It Works

Trimble's 3D Laser Scanning Service was made to help you get around these problems by giving accurate and precise information about as-built conditions well before a project starts. As a result, scanning is an efficient and cost-effective way to find out where existing MEP systems are and compare them to the planned design, which is impossible with paper.

See How It Works

MEP firms that don't have the time or money to learn new skills, buy new technology, or become BIM experts can use Trimble's 3D modeling services. Using the level of development industry specifications, you can make 3D models for all trades, like mechanical, plumbing, medical gas, electrical, and fire protection.

Is "ViewPoint" for you?

Pros

If you already have their other software, getting this one is the logical choice. Just like the salesperson says, you can track your rewards (profits), perform accurate takeoffs, and submit on time. All those claims are mostly true.

Cons

The salesperson can sometimes come across as overly aggressive, pushing for an immediate purchase. This approach isn't suitable, especially with such a significant investment. The initial bids are often inaccurate, requiring final adjustments. There's a support team available, but the cost of training is additional and can be high. You either need to visit them or have them come to you, and there isn't enough time for adequate training. Reducing the training costs would improve the experience.

Greatest Estimation Software Company! I highly recommend them!

Pros

The software just works! It sounds simple, but it's true! We had tried two other estimation programs before ViewPoint, and they were slow, poorly designed, and the support was awful. ViewPoint is completely different. The support is excellent, and their trainers genuinely care that you learn the software thoroughly. I've never worked with better trainers or a more knowledgeable technical support team. These folks are fantastic!

Cons

I can't think of a single downside to ViewPoint MEP Estimating. It offers excellent value for the investment! It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth it for me and my company!
