Construction estimating software is an application designed to help streamline and improve the estimating process for construction projects. It typically includes a system for managing a price book of materials, labor costs and other components that are used to calculate total project costs.

The software usually offers customizable templates for creating estimates that help contractors save time while more accurately estimating costs for projects. Construction estimating software can also help keep track of estimated vs. actual costs allowing contractors to quickly identify where any potential losses occur during the course of the construction process.
