Bid the numberyou can stand behind.
Cost estimates and takeoffs built on a live cost database — assemblies, markups, and history in one place.
You win the job at the estimate and you lose it there too. ErectOS builds the bid on a living cost database — assemblies, real unit costs, and markups in one model — so the number you submit is fast to produce, easy to defend, and ready to become the budget the day you are awarded.
Built on real costs
Unit prices come from a database that learns from your actuals — not last year’s spreadsheet.
Assemblies, not line items
Reusable assemblies turn takeoff quantities into priced scope in seconds, consistently.
Becomes the budget
The awarded estimate carries straight into the budget — no re-keying, no translation loss.
Quantify it fast, price it consistently.
Drive quantities into assemblies that carry their own labor, material, and equipment costs — so a takeoff becomes a defensible estimate, division by division.
