BOYNTON BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2026 / Estimating Edge, the company behind The EDGE, a leading all-in-one takeoff and estimating solution for specialty trades, and a part of Foundation Software's business portfolio, recently released a new educational resource titled "What Kind of Construction Estimating Analytics Should You Look At."
The piece explains how estimating analytics follow a bid from the first estimate to the finished job, so contractors can see how their bidding process is performing and adjust when necessary.
Three key metrics are highlighted specifically:
- Bid-hit ratio to see where pricing may need attention by trade, job size or region
- Estimate-to-actual cost variance to flag recurring overruns on specific materials or line items before they affect future bids
- Change order trends to find scope items that keep getting left out of estimates
The blog also looks at how takeoff and estimating software, like The EDGE, supports this analysis with takeoff and estimating built into the same system, real-time reporting and bids tracked throughout the project lifecycle.
The resource is available now. Click here to learn more.
