Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
December 07, 2022
In-Eight, The Final Frontier
We use the software as our primary estimating tool to procure work for our company. There is still one user with our firm who uses excel spreadsheets to estimate projects. The In-Eight program has helped our firm to bid more work which has given the company more opportunities. When I started with the company four years ago they were biding just over 100 million dollars in our market sector. That number has steadily increased over the past four years. This year we have bid almost 300 million in contracts, I don't think we would have achieved this without In-Eight.
- Ease of tracking cost throughout the estimate - The software enables the user to quickly pull up reports and verify, crew hours, equipment hours and the total cost of these items. We can look at our labor and equipment budget on a project in a matter of seconds.
- Pay item and Proposal Screen columns - This enables the user to quickly look at the overall estimate from a cost and margin standpoint. There are a lot of features to choose from in the columns which give the user choices to share in a group setting when reviewing the final bid proposal. some key elements that we like to use are: Total Cost, Margin, Forecast Qty, Subtotal Amount, Subtotal Description, Lock Price, and Rounding Precision.
- PBS Screen - This screen is a great resource for quick snapshots at direct and indirect costs on a project. We also use subcontractor and vendor status frequently.
- Job Properties - This is ultimately one of the best features in the software, it lays the groundwork for each project and gives any user the background for the project.
- It is hard for someone who does not use the software to understand. I have found over the years that if you do not use In-Eight on a daily basis it is very confusing to show a non-user what is going on.
- It takes a long time for someone to be proficient in the software, I have a college graduate from USC who has a high learning capability and he struggles with it.
- Understanding the information on the screens, a lot of people have a hard time digesting the information on most of the pages.

Hands down the best construction cradle to grave platform.
JWF is in the heavy civil construction market specializing in large diameter underground utilities, transportation, industrial treatment, trenchless, and port facilities. InEight is used daily for the cost estimating and feasibility analysis of hard bid and alternative delivery projects ranging from $1 million to $400 million. With InEight, JWF can easily coordinate multiple users in different locations throughout the world to review, estimate and complete a complex bid, all while maintaining a database that is uniform with a real-time review of the changes. It also provides the flexibility to conform to less robust platforms (Sage/Timberline, HeavyBid).
- Tagging segments of work.
- User defined views and descriptions for all screens.
- Customizable ribbons to provide an efficient use of the software.
- Multiple layers/dependents to allow for an extreme drill down of the work and the ability to roll up to a more useful level for upper management review.
- You can bid the work as you would build it, in detail.
- Tie into QTO software such as blue beam or Planswift.
- Better training of users and continuing education.
- Links to plan sheets for CBS lines for reference.
- Ability to have pdf link in assemblies for basis of assembly.
- less cumbersome copy and paste issues in the CBS
- Better tax structure to allow certain line items or resources to be taxed in an estimate. Washington state uses a very complex tax structure that can be daunting to cover taxes on mixed projects for first-time users.

Eight out of 10
We use InEight to help our company keep our projects on track. It cuts down costs by making sure that we are utilizing our employees and time effectively.
- Helps keep track of scheduling
- Project history, what we've completed
- Helps keep track of deadlines and what we need to do to complete.
- Some of the best features are hard to find
- It's hard to train people to use.
- The whole layout needs to be more modern. It feels old and outdated .

InEight-My Favorite Software for Scheduling, Staffing, and Internal Project Communication
My company uses InEight for a host of reasons, but I mostly use it for scheduling and ensuring that my project is on-time and budgeted/staffed correctly. I like that anyone with access can see my individual progress, and they can roll up my work and those of my teammates into one cohesive calendar/summary. It makes coordination less cumbersome/time-consuming. The software takes a lot of the guesswork out of the overall project progress/percent complete.
- summarizing project completion and tasks that still need to be done
- projecting staffing needs
- organizing schedule/prioritizing tasks
- forecasting upcoming task "cliffs"
- The import/export buttons are exactly the opposite of what you would expect. not intuitive and the logos for these should be swapped.
- The software is hard to train users upon. New users require 3-6 months of use before getting proficient. I think this is because many of the best features are buried in menus, three clicks deep.
- The claiming exports immediately default partial claim items to the user who claimed previously. You need to update your name every time you update a partial claim line item.
- There are many add-ins that should just be included with InEight Standard, instead of having to install extras to make the software usable.

InEight review
InEight provides access to a lot of databases [that] we can use to compare with the historical data and work on new projects.

- Integrates with [a] variety of tools.
- Cost can be estimated with ease.
- Easy to understand and not time consuming.
- Support function could help us sort issues early.
- Interface is not easy to understand.

A Simply Awesome Project Management Tool
InEight is used by primarily the Software Development Project Management Team. InEight has many features that the regular Microsoft Project does not have. InEights helps the Project Team to be on top of a development project by sending out notifications and also giving us an easy overview of the project status.
- Status notification
- Holistic overview
- Customizable reporting
- The interface could be a little modern.
- Installation of the application could be faster.
- Single sign on would be great.

Fantastic PM Application
In our organization, all Software Development Teams use InEight to plan, track, and complete their development projects. With the Artificial Intelligent Planning assistant, most of the basics are covered which frees up a lot of time for the project manager. This enables the whole team to allocate time efficiently to complete tasks.
- Auto planning module.
- Fantastic reports.
- Mobile access.
- Time taken to during the installation of the actual application.
- Planning module interface could be a little more user friendly.
- Single sign on (SSO) option could make it better.

A modern technology software for all your construction needs!
This software is used in-house for our Interior design students. As it is a cloud-based construction management tool, it is helpful for remote working. We use it for planning, scheduling, and designing construction sites.
- Data to make better decisions
- Virtual designing of layouts
- Estimation on project construction
- Speed should be more fast and agile. When working on multiple files the system freezes.
- More templates should [be] added periodically.
- Customer support should respond within 24 hours.

Affordable and Functional
InEight is being used to control the drawings for our Level Crossing Removal Project, as well as quality and completion records, and communication. It is used by the alliance for all phases from design through to delivery and completion. It addresses the issues of a workforce spread over multiple sites, as well as traceability of records and documents.

- Constantly improving functionality.
- Flexibility and customization of the modules to suit the project.

InEight TeamBinder Document Control Software
InEight is our document control platform for issuing documents to clients. It is being used across all departments where documents are required to leave the office. Since there is a built-in review feature within InEight's software we are able to ensure that a document has been through the appropriate channels and been reviewed by the staff before it is issued to clients. This ensures that correct documents are being sent out of the office.
- Customer support for all queries.
- Navigation of the platform.
- Help tutorials with instructional videos.
- Focused training on particular issues rather than a generalized overview.
- List of customizations available to the platform with estimated costs for implementation.
- Revision setup with the review process could be automated further.

InEight Document's Great!
We use it to register (apply Company Document Numbering System) and save all our project and company controlled documents in native and PDF format. [Also use to] Control receipt and issue of this documentation with internal and external stakeholders.
- XL Upload tool is fantastic
- Bulk upload and editing metadata
- Fully customisable
- We would like to be able to workflow documents without them being restrained or maybe have a view that shows restrained and unrestrained as latest/current. We treat our Project Contractor's "As Received" documents as the latest/current whether we've completed our review or not.
- We'd like users not to be able to reply to the transmittal system generated email address as emails go into unregistered mail
- Documents - Comments Register - Request to have Default values available for specific fields
- When we issue reviewed Contractor documents to Teambinder - External Contacts they are required to download the document, download comments (if applicable) and if we've made redline mark ups click on Red Magnifying glass and print document to PDF (and this won't include any comments made with mark up note). They could end up with 3 separate files per document. Also, on the sent transmittal after you select "Download all Transmittal files" button, the "Download All" button only downloads the documents and the "Download Comments" button doesn't include comments made by redline markup. I don't believe this supports the "single source of truth" and could easily lead to confusion. How can I be confident our minor service providers, third parties, government departments etc. will download and use the correct "as returned" version of the document, for example, if it's a drawing we've assigned review code 2 or 3 too they need the drawing and comments to use. TeamBinder document review options consist of:
- Download: (mark up a hardcopy scan and upload it as an attachment), Redlines: mark up (red-line) the document and make text comments and Text comments: Click the Add/Edit link in the Comments column to add electronic comments to the documents. Teambinder transmittal "Download Comments" should include ALL comments no matter which combination of review options was used. We don't use redlines as we cannot ask our external recipients to produce their own PDF's.

InEight Documents
It is being used across the whole organisation. It addresses the information exchange between my organisation and contractors and support organisations. It is a rich source of information used to measure performance of contractors etc.
- Responsive to client requests
- Has a local office
- Flexible to work with
- No consistent process to create an instance, each time an instance is created some functionality is missing. We have discussed this with InEight and they are working with us to improve the process.
- Lack of knowledge in the large infrastructure project space.

InEight Document
InEight document powered by TeamBinder has been implemented across our construction business. We hope to deploy across our mining business within the next few months. It has addressed issues around having one source of truth for all of our project documents and enables us to generate transmittals and track distribution.
- Initial engagement and pre-sales
- Technical Support
- Customisation/Enhancement of product
- Further development of the Portfolio Instance of TeamBinder - it needs to be fit for purpose
We will be using InEight for document management, workflow tracking, cost management, contract management, change management, and reporting management.
- InEight documents allows our organisation to track the progress of workflows, providing timely notification of any delays or bottlenecks.
- InEight allows us to management scope and cost change with the change management functionality.
- InEight Document provides excellent integration with Outlook which significantly improves user satisfaction.
- The design review functionality is acceptable, but could benefit from the ability to generate review logs by design package. This would allow managers to track the comments and dispositions.
