We’re always listening to your feedback and are committed to enhancing your estimating experience. The latest Cubit Estimating update introduces a variety of improvements that help make your estimating workflows faster, clearer, and more collaborative.
Let’s take a look at what’s new.
Stay up to date with the new Job Refresh Prompt
In fast-paced estimating environments, team members often work on the same job concurrently. Previously, when a plan was replaced by another user, you might have been caught reloading an outdated version, potentially leading to confusion, wasted time, or even redundant effort when reloading plans.
With the new Job Refresh Prompt, Cubit Estimating proactively alerts you before loading a plan that has been updated by another user. This enhanced workflow lets you refresh the job first to avoid loading an outdated plan, ensuring a smoother process and saving valuable time.
Enjoy a smoother experience when using Shape editing tools when collaborating
When multiple trades are collaborating on the same job, it’s essential to know what actions are available – without interrupting your workflow. That’s why in this release we’re introducing a simple but effective improvement to Cubit Estimating’s Shared Access Mode.
Now when a shape is locked by another trade, key editing tools – Add Point, Remove Point, and Edit on Select – are visually greyed out, giving you immediate clarity that these options are temporarily unavailable.
This subtle enhancement creates a more intuitive estimating experience, helping you stay focused on what matters – performing accurate takeoffs faster.
Work faster with new keyboard shortcuts for Include and Exclude pricing.
When you’re trying to get your estimate completed, even the smallest shortcut can make a big difference. That’s why Cubit Estimating now supports keyboard shortcuts for quickly toggling pricing between INCL (inclusive) – by using “I”, and EXCL (exclusive) – by using “E”, in the Estimate Sheet.
With a simple keystroke, you can instantly set item pricing without breaking your flow or reaching for the mouse, making repetitive tasks more efficient than ever.
