We use InEight for creating and reviewing construction estimates. It works very well for us. Makes it easy for multiple users in different areas and locations to work together. Provides easy storage of information and reports for analysis. Having a library full of resources makes the creation of repeated items simple.
  • Organization
  • Reporting
  • Storage
  • Multiple Users.
  • Updating items from the library has changed.
This program works well to create construction estimates. It allows you to keep them all in one place and store them on a server so that they can be used by multiple users at the same time. We are able to quickly build and modify estimates to match the specific requirements of each project. Transferring information from one estimate to another is quick and easy.

  • The cost of the software has been worth it for what we use it for.
  • There's a learning curve at the beginning but after you're comfortable it is worth it.
We needed estimating software that can be used by multiple parties and where multiple parties can have the same file open and work on it at the same time. This has worked for us.
After you learn how to use the program it saves you time and provides consistent results.
We only use one of the platforms. We have not tried any of the other options through InEight.

We use Ineight for project estimating and management. It helps us increase our ability to bid the large volume of projects we need in order to keep our backlog at optimum levels. We have around 25 users.
  • Organize quotes
  • Accurately cost out bids
  • Save time
  • We do not use the search engine since it was last modified. It is no longer user friendly.
  • We used to like the way we could change the position of line items. The function has been changed to where it is not user friendly anymore.
  • The "Save" and "Delete" options are right next to each other. I have been after Ineight to change these for a long time but they have not.
Ineight helps save us a huge amount of time in preparing the large number of bids we have to do. It is fast and has many desirable features which make it accurate and reliable. The company has made a lot of changes over the years and most are for the good of the software and are welcome. Some of the changes, however, do not make sense and are actually detrimental to the smooth functioning of the program. When asked why these changes were made I have not been able to get a satisfactory answer. We wish that the company would listen more to the suggestions of clients.

  • Ineight has increased our ability to bid more projects
  • Ineight has helped us standardize our estimating process
  • Ineight has increased the accuracy of our bids
We went from a $5,000,000.00 to a $60,000,000.00 Company in the last fifteen years and part of the reason for our growth was the capabilities provided by going from an employee-created Excel estimating sheet to the Ineight Estimating system. It took five estimators to bid enough work on the Excel sheet to get our $5,000,000.00 backlog and we now have only one additional estimator and are able to bid enough work using Ineight to achieve our current $60,000,000.00 backlog.
I highly recommend it and would have given a rating of 10 if it were not for some of the recent changes the company has made to the software and its lack of welcoming input from its users.
We only use Ineight at our main facility so are currently not in need of the flexibility and scalability of multiple sites and departments.
Ineight is pretty good at support although we often do not get support right away as the technicians are busy with other customers. We will get a callback when a technician becomes available. We have never had an issue that was not solved to our satisfaction, mostly in a fairly timely manner.
We looked at HCSS and Bid 2 Win but chose Ineight due to the fact that it seemed more user friendly, plus I had used it at a former company when it was available from the Grantlun Corporation and was very familiar with it in its ease of use and reliability.

Score 7 out of 10

InEight is used primarily as an Estimating tool to compile all quantities and costs required for projects or estimates. Allows multiple users to provide input into the estimate at the same time, is cloud based so can be accessed virtually anywhere, and provides a costing database that can be used in real time to compile estimated costs.
  • Cost Database
  • Audit trail of changes made
  • Multiple users can work on same estimate at the same time
  • Reporting
  • Estimating in CSI format for Buildings related projects
  • Having an on screen take-off module to be built in as part of the software
Well suited for heavy civil and mining type of projects or estimates. Not well suited at all for Vertical Buildings related type of projects. Rested to Buildings estimates, the software makes it difficult to create an estimate where multiple components are separated within the estimate, especially when the costing breakdown is required to reflect a standard CSI divisional format.

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.
InEight is an excellent platform for large and small projects. The difficulty comes when bidding work based on the department of transportation specifications to the CSI divisions 0-46. There is no one size fits all, so you find a butting of heads in working with a transportation estimator and industrial estimator. Both see the other as useless divisions, often resulting in a tangled mess of a bid if a senior individual is not running lead. As for the size of projects, the system is excellent for thousand-dollar change orders to billion-dollar projects. The outputs can be as detailed or rolled up as necessary so as not to overwhelm clients or management.

  • More detailed estimates for projects and alternative deliver partners.
  • Able to reduce estimating time entry time on projects with assemblies allowing for more review of plans and specifications.
  • Excellent tool for remote estimates allowing for more involvement from field construction personnel.
More detailed estimates with a uniform database.
Because I've used several other platforms, and they suck when it comes to drilling down.
Been using this with remote workers for years. It's excellent, and the changes are traceable.
Good.
