Estimate faster and more accurately with software built specifically for sheet metal contractors; reducing risk and improving bid confidence.
Article content provided by Trimble.
For sheet metal contractors, estimating accuracy directly impacts profitability. Manual takeoffs, inconsistent labor assumptions, and time constraints can lead to missed scope, underbidding, or lost opportunities.

Trimble AutoBid SheetMetal is built specifically for HVAC and sheet metal estimating—helping you produce fast, accurate bids with confidence. Specification-driven takeoffs, pre-built databases, and industry-standard labor units (including SMACNA) ensure consistency across every estimate.
Tools like shape conversion and repeat takeoff items such as assemblies help you price alternates quickly and complete takeoffs significantly faster and without rework. Plus, detailed reports give you clear visibility into material and labor costs, supporting better decisions from bid day through project execution.
If you’re looking to improve estimating accuracy, speed up bid turnaround, and protect your margins, watch our short explainer video, learn more here, or request a demo.
