Description

If any of the following resonates with your circumstances, then Concerto could be the ideal fit for you. You have maxed out your existing estimation techniques, whether that involves MS Excel spreadsheets or other tools. You aim to implement a reliable system for estimating that is not only consistent and precise but also quick to execute. Recognizing the intricacies of this industry, you seek a solution that is both straightforward and adaptable. Since your time is invaluable, you prefer a solution where the tedious setup processes have already been completed. Additionally, you require a trustworthy and experienced partner, as the financial success of your business is on the line. Choosing the right partner can help you navigate these challenges effectively and enhance your overall productivity.

Description

Purple Hammer serves as a desktop solution for takeoff and estimating, tailored specifically for construction estimators and quantity surveyor teams, embodying the potential that Bluebeam aimed to achieve.

Furthermore, it provides built-in estimating worksheets, allows the use of takeoff formulas with power syntax, and includes cost and contract lookup tables. The software also offers an open MCP for AI access, a one-click "Magic Measure" function, and the ability to snap to geometry, grid, and raster edges. Additionally, it comes equipped with live document and version control, and supports exporting marked-up PDFs, Excel files, and comparison GIFs.
