pre-construction workflows.
The WinEst Essentials subscription makes it easy to access Trimble’s industry-leading, full-featured estimating and takeoff solutions — WinEst e-Team with Virtual Takeoff, Modelogix, Schedule Link, Trimble Connect, eTakeoff, Advanced Image Manager, Managed Cost Data, and Online Training — that meet you at every step of your estimating workflow.
Implement and automate your company’s estimating methodology, leveraging best practices and historical cost data to increase accuracy and efficiency and reduce the opportunity for error, getting you to bid day confidently, profitably, and with a competitive advantage.
Share estimate data with all stakeholders and collaborate in real time using Trimble Connect, our innovative collaboration software —built for construction and accessible from any device— as part of the WinEst Essentials solution.
WinEst Essentials allows estimators to make decisions based off real-world data with the inclusion of historical data,
pre-built assemblies, integrated takeoff, and managed cost databases, all hidden behind an easy-to-use, Excel-like interface.
eTakeoff is a part of Trimble’s WinEst Essentials solution. eTakeoff integrates with Trimble WinEst, dramatically increasing both estimating capability and confidence in the numbers. Allowing estimate data to flow freely and accurately between estimating and takeoff software, eTakeoff improves productivity and allows for a seamless transition from takeoff to estimate.

Trimble Modelogix is an enterprise software solution that allows organizations to mine data from project estimates and, “as built, actual,” costs, with prices normalized to the time and location of the current opportunity. Use Modelogix to create fast and accurate early phase estimates without the guesswork, reducing risk as you leverage your structured historical cost data in a secure, centralized database.
One of the first systems to truly leverage a company’s project-cost history, Modelogix cost-modeling tool ties seamlessly to data from any leading cost-tracking solution- including MS Excel, WinEst, and others. A new Query API can help enhance your Business Intelligence (BI) practices by easily integrating Modelogix data with your existing BI tools. Data is stored and managed in a user-defined cost structure and readily accessible, as needed, throughout your company.
See how your cost model stacks up against past projects of similar scope. Identify cost outliers that provide opportunities for adjusting the model to fit the owner’s funding constraints.
View and compare your cost model side-by-side with the project estimates that formed the basis of the model.
Use selected project attributes to search all of your historical data to find the right mix of projects for your new cost model. Not only do you have access to your historical data, but Modelogix also tells the complete story for each project by including all relevant supporting documents.
The best way to leverage historical information is to create a continuous cycle or “closed loop” integration. To begin the cycle, a feasibility budget is developed that is based on actual cost information from past projects. The conceptual estimate is then moved to the cost estimating solution to prepare the detailed estimate based on owner specifications. The detailed estimate forms the basis for your budgets in your project management solution, and this data exchange is automated with Prolog. When the project closes, the actual cost data flows back into Modelogix for use on future projects.
Modelogix enables you to easily design and print a proposal that reflects your company’s quality, professionalism and attention to detail. With the high degree of care that you’ve put into the preparation of your cost plans, you need to project that quality through the presentation. Modelogix provides professional, customizable templates to give you a leg-up on the competition.
We're here to help. We take our client relationships seriously and back up everything we do with our top-notch support system.
