**Flexible Structures**: Sterling allows users to map cost plans to multiple standard structures, including ICMS, BCIS, NRM1/2, CESMM, RMM1/2, MCHW, or custom structures. This feature, according to the vendor, provides flexibility in viewing and reporting information as per user requirements.

**Smart Take-off**: Users can leverage the 2D/3D digital take-off tools in Sterling to easily extract measurements and attributes. The vendor claims that users can also manually add other quantities and apply rules, audit formulas, and track changes. The solution offers full history and version control for accurate and efficient take-off processes.

**Templates & Libraries**: Sterling allows users to create unlimited template projects and data sets, and build/import their own libraries or subscribe to a comprehensive library set. The vendor states that this feature supports various industry standards such as ICMS, NRM1/2, RMM1/2, CESMM4, Highways Form of Measurement, Uniclass2015, BCIS, and SMM7. Users can manage unit rates in one place and link them to multiple structures and resource groups.
