Accubid, the tried and true no frills solution
The product is used to estimate in a systematic manner new construction and larger remodel projects for our organization. It also allows us to manage the job, post construction by having detailed budgets for our projects that are broken out in bite size pieces for us to handle. The main use case is for new construction however.

Trimble Accubid -- Money saver
Trimble Accubid is currently being used by our organization as our primary bidding software. It is a database for pricing and winning bids for new jobs. It helps our clients get the best prices and our company to maintain a sustainable and successful project while delivering on our cornerstones of reliable insights, outcomes, and resources.
- Depth of customization
- Intergrations
- Industry specific
- High barrier to entry
- Low ease of use / Time-consuming
- After completing a lot of training, this software can easily allow a lower-skilled employee to set everything up for review.
- Reduced time for bid reviews as key indicators are easy to review
- Ability to review old bids to ensure project delivery
I was not involved in the decision-making process to purchase Accubid.

Accubid Electrical Estimating Software Wins Again
Trimble Accubid is used by our organization as an electrical estimating software. Accubid is the premiere electrical estimating software in the electrical construction industry for commercial and industrial electrical contractors.
Accubid electrical estimating software addresses the ever present need to provide cost accurate estimates for a wide array of electrical projects in a simple and intuitive estimating platform.

- Provides accurate NECA labor units for materials.
- Keeps accurate costs of materials through regular updates.
- Needs to update a data base for new emerging markets in energy.
- Separation of some supporting materials into more relevant categories would eliminate number of required click through actions.
- Accubid allows for accurate pricing of electrical estimates.
- Accubid's accurate pricing allows for more competitive bid estimates.
McCormick is an accurate estimating solution, but is far too bulky too compete with Accubid. Pricing reports and breakout options in Accubid are far superior to McCormick. McCormick's on-screen take off may be a benefit to some, but not worth the trade off of Accubid's robust suite.
ViewPoint is a small contractor solution that cannot compete on the scale of Accubid.

From an electrical estimator's perspective
I use Accubid to help organize and produce electrical estimates for our company. While the options and granularity can appear overwhelming, they offer a lot of control and ways to analyze our costs. The learning curve can take a moment to overcome, but once you do, the tools given help produce estimates that allow me to feel more confident. That being said, there are still some tools that I feel are missing.
- Allows for fine control of inputs and variables.
- Gives a multitude of ways to analyze data.
- While the tools provided are great, there could be more to allow more imaginative users to build their own.
- The user interface is old and clunky.
- Helps produce more accurate estimates.
- Allows us to break scopes out without having to re-perform an estimate.
