Accubid's proven databases include labor units, labor factoring, labor tracking codes and cost codes built right in, and ready to use.

Material can be taken off via mouse, digitizer or on-screen takeoff (sold separately). Create smart assemblies on-the-fly where each component is automatically calculated based on length, count or any variable specified.
