Accurate estimates start with the right tools

With RedTeam’s estimating software, you can generate accurate estimates that account for every material and labor cost. Our software is built for construction teams that need to reduce errors, improve predictability, and maintain profit margins—even on complex jobs.
Whether you’re estimating for commercial, industrial, or specialty projects, construction estimating software helps ensure your final numbers reflect the true scope and scale of the job.

How RedTeam’s estimating software integrates field data with back-office accuracy

Estimators begin by importing specs and drawings into our tools. You define assemblies and cost databases—internal or RSMeans-style—and calculate direct and indirect costs, including labor, materials, overhead, bonding, and contingency. As drawings and requirements evolve, RedTeam automatically adjusts budgets and flags revisions.
Throughout construction, real-time project management data updates the estimate, enabling project managers to compare estimated vs actual costs and flag variances. Field and office teams stay aligned with updated cost projections, ensuring forecasting accuracy and streamlining close‑out documentation.

Cost control that protects your bottom line

Take your estimating process beyond basic calculations with comprehensive cost management tools. Create and manage detailed cost codes and assemblies that reflect your project’s complexity. Our system helps you maintain consistency by offering customizable estimate templates and import capabilities for existing data.
When it comes to budgeting, maintain complete visibility over your numbers. Track any deviations from initial bids to final budgets while maintaining clear distinctions between costs and contract amounts. Seamlessly creating a Schedule of Values that matches your original proposal will ensure smooth alignment between your estimates and project execution.
