Sage 300 CRE Estimating

Everything you need - from fast takeoff tools to presentation quality reports - is available with the click of a mouse. Estimating Standard also makes it easier to analyze and fine-tune your work. For example, you can open and compare several estimates at once, even drag items from one spreadsheet into another for quick creation of alternate estimates. Want to view your spreadsheet in a number of different ways, such as by location or bid item? You can do that too. What’s more, the software comes with 10 industry databases and a comprehensive HELP system to get you up and running quickly.

Sage 300 CRE Estimating - Extended Edition

Sage 300 CRE Estimating Extended Edition offers you our most comprehensive package of cutting-edge estimating tools. The software captures the power of Estimating Standard and adds even greater takeoff, analysis and productivity capabilities.

Smart Assemblies with Extended features

Estimating Extended Smart Assemblies give you the power to take off even the most complicated building components in just one entry. Hundreds of item variations and calculation methods are covered in each assembly. Built-in logic capabilities automatically select the correct item and calculation method from the range of choices to deliver the quantities you need within seconds. Change a parameter of the building component and the software instantly carries out any pre-set instructions you’ve built into the assembly. Total costs, total units and cost per unit are all displayed immediately after takeoff. So you catch errors instantly instead of days later.

WBS codes

Work Breakdown Structure codes let you organize your estimate a variety of ways, by project phase, drawing detail, or location, like building 1 or 2. Simply assign your WBS code to any item, either in the database or during takeoff. You can attach up to 12 user-defined WBS codes to each item, which make analysis and reporting possibilities endless.

Crews

Estimating Extended automates the pricing of all crews and gives you the labor and equipment requirements needed to complete the job.

A variety of crew reports are available to help you inform project managers. You can sort your crew reports by location or WBS code. Print an analysis report showing all labor and equipment class requirements with hours and dollars. Or request a field report highlighting the crew you’re using at a specific location and its productivity.
