Model Estimating
Model Estimating lets you create detailed conceptual estimates by answering a series of basic questions about a project. You simply respond to an on-screen survey and let Model Estimating tap into the Sage Timberline Office first-of-a-kind Construction Knowledgebase to produce fast, precise estimates.

Backed by exhaustive detail, everything you need to support your bid, concept, or estimate is there in black and white — costs, quantities, crews, hours, and waste factors.

Quote it, change it, never start over
A lot of things can happen to a building design once you've handed over the first estimate. A brick exterior can change to stucco. Rooms can expand or contract. The building can move to a new site. The possibilities are infinite. With Model Estimating, you can easily modify and monitor your estimate as changes are made to the design. You'll know exactly how those changes impact your estimate, before they add up to a budget issue.
