Mastering the Bid: Precision Estimation.
TradeEstimate is the definitive platform for industrial construction, replacing legacy risk with algorithmic certainty for heavy mechanical and civil trades.
Evolution of Methodology
Excel isn't an engineering tool. It's a liability.
For decades, industrial bids have relied on brittle spreadsheets and disconnected PDF takeoffs. This fragmentation creates “ghost risks”—missing scope and formula errors that erode margins before the first pile is driven.
Legacy Spreadsheets
Manual entry, broken macros, and lack of version control.
TradeEstimate Cloud
Structured data models, real-time sync, and integrated logic.
Engineered Features
Multi-Discipline Takeoffs
Seamlessly process Concrete, Piping, and Structural Steel within a single unified interface. TradeEstimate maps complex industrial blueprints to actionable bills of materials automatically.
Live Cost Rollups
Instant visibility into labor, equipment, and material shifts. As unit costs fluctuate, your entire estimate recalibrates in real-time.
Estimate Intelligence
AI-driven benchmarking against 40 years of historical Gulf Coast data to detect missing scope and outlier pricing before submission.
Industrial Standards Built-In
Built by Trade Construction, for the trades. Every calculation follows ASME, AWS, and OSHA-grade parameters.
Forty Years in the Field.
TradeEstimate isn't just software—it's the digital manifestation of Trade Construction's 40+ years of Gulf Coast industrial expertise. We've built the refineries, the pipelines, and the infrastructure. Now, we've built the tool that measures them.
