Beyond spreadsheets - The smart alternative to estimating in Excel

6th August 2026

     

Font size: - +

As we look at estimating using Excel and the associated benefits and disadvantages of this universal tool, discover how construction contractors have successfully transitioned from estimating in Excel to purpose-built software and the results they have achieved. See the steps required to bring your take-off, estimating, cost control and project management into one platform.

Excel has been a valuable tool for construction estimating over the years, but as projects grow in complexity, its limitations become clear: costly errors, version control chaos, and lack of real-time collaboration. In this webinar, we’ll explore why purpose-built construction software like RIB Candy is the smarter choice for modern contractors.

Key Takeaways:

  • The hidden risks of relying on Excel for estimating
  • How purpose-built software increases accuracy and efficiency
  • Real-world examples showing the return on investment of switching to RIB Candy
  • Practical steps to transition smoothly from spreadsheets
