01 · THE ESTIMATING SHEET
You’ve spent years bending Excel into an estimating tool. Nimbus is what you were trying to build. As you count, every measurement lands in the sheet already priced and totaled. Assemblies, units, and markups are set up your way, and any of them can flex to one job without touching your master. The familiar stays. The fragile is gone.
02 · THE RATE HUB
Your assemblies, shop rates, and material costs all live in one central hub, not buried in formulas across old workbooks. When copper spikes or the union rate bumps, change one rate and every assembly in your library re-prices itself instantly.
03 · START-TO-FINISH AI
Drop in the project manual and Nimbus pulls the requirements that bite you, like that spec note buried on page 814. Drop in the drawings and ask anything, like what’s the rebar spacing in detail 3 on sheet S2?, and it reads the fine print for you. Drop in the vendor quotes and it maps them line by line against your takeoff, so you’re leveling apples to apples instead of eyeballing it.
04 · TRUE SYNC
Put your whole team in the same estimate: anyone changes a quantity and everyone sees it as it happens. Most tools make you refresh to catch up, or let two people overwrite each other. Nimbus keeps everyone live, all the way to bid day.
05 · CUSTOM ASSEMBLIES
Behind every item is its full scope: each trade at its own rate, each material with its own waste factor, plus the equipment and subs the work really takes. Build it once, reuse it across every job, and still adjust any piece on the fly. Trace one quantity and the whole cost comes with it.
POWER FEATURES
Everything a power user reaches for, right on the canvas.
THE COMPLETE TOOLSET
Count
Stamp each assembly; fixtures, devices, and drops tally as you place.
Linear
Trace the run and pipe, conduit, or baseboard prices by the foot.
Area
Outline a region; drywall, slab, and paint fill in by the square.
Multiplier
Multiply an assembly across repeats. Stamp it once, not forty times.
Roof Pitch (L)
Add a pitch; a flat ridge or rake reads as true sloped length.
Wall Area (H)
Give a run a height and it prices as wall face, not flat feet.
Volume (W×D)
Width and depth turn a trench into cubic yards of spoil.
Length + Drops
Tack drops onto a riser without re-tracing the run.
Roof Pitch (A)
Pitch a flat plane and the shingle field corrects to true area.
Volume (D)
Drop in a slab depth and concrete totals in cubic yards.
Perimeter
Pull the edge off any area for curb, form, or trim.
Arc (3-point)
Click three points and the arc curves through them.
Curve / spline
Trace a smooth spline along anything that bends.
Polygons
Build odd shapes vertex by vertex, no boxes required.
Carve-out
Cut a courtyard or shaft out of a slab; the area drops itself.
Difficulty zones
Paint a zone on the hard areas and crew hours scale there, material untouched.
Edit geometry
Reshape any line or region. Never redraw to fix one corner.
Angle lock
Hold a trace to clean 45s and 90s.
Grid snap
Snap every point to the grid.
Select & clipboard
Select all, then cut, copy, paste, and move whole groups. Every count keeps its data.
Markup
Redline, cloud, and note straight on the sheet.
Auto count
Pick one tagged fixture and every match on the sheet counts itself.
Flag to task
Drop a flag on the prints, jump straight to it, assign it to teammates, and it shows on their calendars.
Auto-scale
Nimbus reads the scale off the title block on upload. Start measuring.
Preset scales
Every imperial and metric scale on the list, one click to set.
Calibrate
No scale printed? Draw one known dimension and Nimbus sets the rest.
Custom scale
Dial in your own ratio, imperial or metric, when the list won't do.
Separate bid forms
Carve one project into independent scopes, each on its own priced form.
Categories
Set up a copper category once; every copper item you add files itself there, on the list and the bid form.
Drawing overlay
Drop a revised sheet over the old one and the changes light up.
Transfer counts
Move a thousand counts onto the new sheet and survive the addendum without recounting.
Export lists
Push the full takeoff out as a clean, sortable list.
Export bid forms
Hand over a finished, priced bid in a single click.
In-project AI chat
Ask the drawings and specs anything; the answer's already mapped.
Proposal writing
Get a job-specific proposal drafted, ready to drop in your template.
Bid leveling
Stack vendor quotes against your takeoff, line for line.
Notes
Keep a running project log, yours and the agent's, right beside the work.
Hotkeys
Every tool on a key. Learn them once and fly.
ANALYTICS & INSIGHTS
Nimbus shows you what’s actually working: how fast your team bids, and how often you win.
Track average time per bid. Find the bottleneck. Get your team estimating faster.
Track win and loss by customer, trade, and project size, then chase the bids you actually close.
BILLING
We’d rather earn your business with the product than trap you with the paperwork. Your subscription works however your team does:
HOW IT WORKS
Drag in your project documents. AI pulls the spec data while you import your pricing library.
Run your takeoff on a workspace that keeps up. Apply your math and your difficulty factors as you go.
Drop in vendor quotes for automatic leveling, check your material, labor, and sub roll-ups, and export a bid ready to send.
BRING YOUR LIBRARY
Here’s the real reason you haven’t switched: your old tool is dated, but you’ve poured years into your assemblies and pricing, and rebuilding it all somewhere new is unthinkable. So you stay. Nimbus skips the rebuild. Upload the spreadsheet you already have, and AI turns it into a structured assembly library. The work you’ve done comes with you, and the thing that kept you stuck is the thing that finally gets you moving.
Drawings, specs, takeoff, pricing, quotes, roll-up, proposal. All in one place.
