Automated Calculations

The EDGE calculates precise paint coverage based on manufacturer specifications and surface characteristics. Factor in surface porosity and application methods for primer coverage, calculate primer plus finish coat requirements, and determine the exact number of cans needed. Even specialized trim calculations are covered, with dedicated coverage rates and application methods for baseboards, wall moldings and other trim types.

Common Conditions

Save time and ensure consistency across similar spaces with Common Conditions. Copy calculations across multiple rooms with identical layouts and specifications to maintain accuracy, reduce estimate time, and keep labor costs and material quantities consistent throughout multi-room projects like hotels and office buildings.

Smart Labor® Technology

The EDGE features Smart Labor technology, which computes additional labor factors for wall heights, surface preparation and specialized equipment requirements, from sprayers for large, open surfaces to rollers for standard wall applications and brushes for detailed trim and cut-in work. It intelligently determines advantageous application methods and calculates the corresponding material and labor requirements.

Streamline your procurement process with The EDGE’s Vendor Quote. Request quotes directly through the software from multiple suppliers, compare pricing side-by-side from different vendors, and select the optimal products, pricing and quantities for each estimate, so you get the best pricing for every project.

I have only been estimating for two years now. Before I used The EDGE, we would use Planswift and then make an Excel sheet for the estimate. Switching over to The EDGE really helped streamline our estimating process.

I have been using The EDGE since 2006. I believe the software version was 7. We are now using version 12 with the cloud. What I like most about this program is the ease of use and how it reduces my time estimating. With the time saved, I can take that time and be productive with other tasks during the day.
