TURNKEY ESTIMATES

ESP Adds to Your Business
Bid-specific Material Pricing
Automated Material Pricing
With the ESP Platform, the client’s TRA-SER/Supplier Xchange monthly subscription seamlessly integrates “B” materials pricing into the client’s estimates at the discount rate that’s specifically applicable to each client, ensuring every bid reflects each client’s “B” material pricing.
Clients quickly review, inspect, and approve the material list, guaranteeing accuracy and confidence in every estimate. Additionally, having your specific material discounts linked to each project saves you time.
100% Privacy
Your pricing information is 100% private, protected and secure. TRA-SER discount pricing is only accessible through your company's username and password. Your company password to TRA-SER is between you and Trade Service. TRA-SER guarantees that your pricing is 100% private, protected and secure. The ESP Cloud Estimating Platform further guarantees this protection.
Note: ESP is not a reseller for Trimble, Trade Service or Accubid.
Alarms & Material Markups
The ESP Video Library outlines multiple systemized best practice procedures which mitigate client risks. Minimizing human error critically ensures no part of your material pricing is overlooked or forgotten.
The ESP Platform also simplifies client workflow by calculating material markups automatically based on their preset default settings, giving clients complete control and consistency in every one of their bids.
Bid-Specific Labour Values
Labour Factors: Secure and Private
Our clients have full control and ownership over their Labour Factors within the ESP Cloud Estimating Platform. Clients privately set, modify, and manage their labour factors by updating their default job settings. To protect each client’s labour factoring privacy, ESP neither uses nor has access to labour factors used by any client. Even though many corrections have been made to the database items, the estimating platform uses the default labour set by Accubid. The client labour values and factors are identified by the client.
Hours: Actual vs. Estimated
Achieve next-level accuracy in your bids by comparing the actual hours spent on completed projects with the hours originally estimated. ESP’s detailed review process highlights the effectiveness of your modified Labour Factors and identifies future risks or adjustments needed on labour factors and markups.
By fine-tuning estimates through this review process, you will be able to confidently align your bids with profit levels that match your acceptable risk thresholds.
Labour Markups
We know your biggest risk is labour. Our clients’ estimates reflect the actual installation methods where their costs are covered as accurately as possible. This produces added confidence in the client’s bid material pricing and the client’s associated labour hours. The potential profit and risk in labour becomes a clear picture that the client can now focus on.
When managed properly, labour becomes a profit centre. When mismanaged, labour becomes the greatest loss. This picture is worth a thousand words. The ESP Estimating Platform gives our clients the sharpest image possible. This profit/risk assessment is not only available but protected in each client’s private settings on the ESP Platform.

ESP’s clients benefit from seamless integration across Trimble’s products, database integrity, and automated workflow processes.
