Construction estimating software is widely recognised for the advantages it delivers to construction professionals across the globe. From lowering costs and improving operational efficiency to supporting collaboration and more accurate profit forecasting, adopting estimating technology can create significant business value.

Taking this a step further, cloud-hosted estimating software unlocks even greater potential for teams and organisations to improve productivity, profitability, and overall performance. In simple terms, cloud hosting means your estimating software operates on secure virtual servers online rather than relying on on-site hardware in your office.

Below are some of the key advantages of choosing a cloud-based estimating solution

Improved access and teamwork

Cloud-hosted estimating platforms, such as Cubit Estimating Cloud, allow teams to work from a single, shared set of project information. Whether staff are in the office, on site, or working remotely, everyone can access the same data in real time—making coordination and collaboration far easier.

Reduced IT complexity

A cloud-hosted solution removes much of the burden associated with managing software and hardware internally. It minimises upfront infrastructure costs, eliminates manual upgrades, and ensures updates are applied automatically. With a fully managed service like Cubit Estimating Cloud, technical maintenance is handled by specialists, freeing your team to focus on core work.

Greater scalability and adaptability

Cloud-based estimating software makes it simpler to scale your operations as business requirements change. You can expand or adjust capabilities without investing in unnecessary hardware, giving your business the agility to respond to growth or shifting demands efficiently.

Enhanced data security

Modern cloud solutions are designed with strong security in mind, incorporating features such as encryption, firewalls, frequent backups, and disaster recovery systems. These safeguards help protect critical project data from unexpected disruptions and unauthorised access.

Solutions like Cubit Estimating Cloud provide the freedom to work flexibly while supporting businesses of all sizes to operate more efficiently. Contact the BSS team to learn how you can start benefiting from a cloud-hosted estimating solution.
