A Key advantage of Bid4Build's flexibility and sophistication is the ability to enable the construction professional to create and manage their own costbook database, important existing item cost information, and integrate with leading cost data sources providers such as Craftsman.  Bid4Build Craftsman Costbook integration includes the National General Construction database, National Renovation & Insurance Repair databases, National Home Improvement database and the National Electric database. Craftsman's Costbook databases provide accurate and updated information for the USA and Canada.  This information includes construction related catgegories and costs of materials, labor, subcontractor and equipment items.  This allows developers, architects, engineers, contractors, insurance professionals and others to accurately estimate and control the cost of residental, commerical, insurance restoration, new contstruction or renovation projects.

Another key advantage and competitive differentiator is Bid4Build's digital on screen takeoff software solution.  Bid4Build Takeoff Live software is a feature-rich, stand-alone or fully integrated, digital on screen takeoff software solution which works in conjunction with Bid4Build's Enterprise Edition, version 3.5.1 estimating system.  Construction plans or images can easily be imported into Bid4Build Takeoff Live, where measurements and cost assignments can quickly and easily be built.  A complete estimate can be created on the fly using the take off software, and then immediately available for futher processing or reporting using the Bid4Build estimating solution.
