Trimble LiveCount vs. Methvin

Trimble LiveCount is an advanced, cloud-based 2D graphical takeoff solution built specifically for MEP estimators. Designed to replace paper drawings and disconnected plan viewers, LiveCount accelerates the quantification process while eliminating manual data entry errors. Through a live, bi-directional link with Trimble Accubid Anywhere, Accubid Classic, Total Estimating, and Estimation MEP, any measurement or count created on a drawing automatically populates the estimate audit trail in real time. LiveCount features AI-powered takeoff automation and patented AutoCount symbol recognition.

Construction estimators don't lose bids because they priced too high. They lose because their numbers weren't built on solid ground. Methvin is the only platform that calculates costs from first principles. While other tools rely on historical averages that no longer reflect the market, Methvin builds every figure from scratch, labor, plant, and materials. One miscalculation on a tight-margin project doesn't just hurt the job; it can wipe out the profit from three others. Stop guessing. Start winning bids you can actually deliver on.
