In the competitive world of electrical contracting, your ability to create fast, accurate and profitable bids is your greatest asset. Traditional estimating and takeoff methods are notoriously time-consuming and prone to error, forcing you to choose between speed and accuracy. But what if you no longer had to make that choice?
Trimble is pioneering a better way to work by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) directly into our estimating solutions. Annually, our AI features have saved estimators over 3,500 hours, allowing them to focus on high-value tasks. We're leveraging the power of AI to transform how you approach estimating and takeoff, helping you save significant time while gaining a new level of confidence in your bids.
The AI advantage: From tedious takeoffs to time-saving workflows
Wouldn’t your job be easier if the most tedious parts are handled for you, freeing you up to focus on strategic analysis and bid optimization? That's the world we're building with Trimble LiveCount and Trimble Estimation MEP.
Smart tools for smarter estimates
Since mid-2024, we've rolled out powerful AI enhancements across our estimating solutions, giving you an intelligent partner in your workflow:
AI-powered takeoff: Your takeoff process is now faster and more accurate. Our AI-powered Automate Takeoff feature can now automatically detect and count outlets, switches and fire alarm systems. This means you can count thousands of items in minutes, not hours, and dramatically reduce the risk of human error. Our AI has already identified, classified and counted more than 200,000 objects monthly. This functionality is available in both LiveCount (part of Accubid Classic Hosted/Accubid Anywhere Named-User subscriptions) and Estimation MEP Pro to streamline your process, wherever you are.
Automatic Drawing Scale Detection: Eliminate the time-consuming and error-prone process of manually setting drawing scales. Our AI now automatically detects and sets the correct drawing scale when you upload a drawing. With an average of 95% of drawing scales auto-set by existing users, you can be confident that your takeoff is based on the correct dimensions every single time.
A collaborative AI that works with you: The future of AI is collaborative. You can now contribute to the intelligence of our platform by suggesting symbols for our AI to recognize in the future. This feedback loop ensures our technology evolves to meet your specific needs, making your tools smarter with every use.
The manual tasks that once slowed you down no longer have to be a bottleneck. With Trimble AI enhancements in LiveCount and Estimation MEP, you can produce highly accurate estimates faster than ever, giving you a distinct competitive advantage. It's time to build more profitable bids and connect to a better way of working.
