Estimating Databases
Aside from the Sage Timberline Office core Estimating application, which includes sample databases with standard items and customizable estimating factors, you can also add industry-specific estimating databases.

The Sage Timberline Office estimating databases contain thousands of items and many assemblies you can use right away — with the added capability of incorporating your company's estimating procedures and policies as they relate to unique items, formulas, assemblies, and productivity and conversion factors.

Means Residential Database
Choose only the items that are appropriate for your company's work. Fifteen different databases offer you everything from site work items to electrical components. Included with each database is the Means Integrator to give you the ready option to subscribe to Means price updates. Plus, choose from crew-based, hourly, or unit-cost methods of pricing.

Residential Homebuilder Database
This is the database that lets you take off even the most complicated home building components, such as foundations, walls, and roofs in just one step. Plus, provide customers with conceptual estimates within minutes by answering simple questions about land cost, living area, and building difficulty. You can create fast, accurate conceptual estimates based on historic costs and previous job experience. Included are 68 Smart Assemblies, 4,000 items, 700 formulas, and 47 bill of materials classes.

Residential Knowledgebase
Developed for use exclusively with estimating for Sage Timberline Office, nothing compares to the way it allows contractors to prepare, conceptual estimates and even detailed estimates immediately upon loading the software. Eliminating the often tedious and time-consuming process of individual item takeoff, the built-in intelligence prompts you for only the data needed to calculate quantities and costs for a given assembly, such as a wall, or a model for an entire home or multi-family structure. You simply respond to a list of questions and all the construction details and/or unit costs are immediately available for your review, giving you the ability to quickly perform calculations or a variety of options.
