Trimble has acquired the assets of privately held Accubid Systems based in Concord, Ontario, Canada. Accubid is a leading provider of estimating, project management and service management software and services for electrical and mechanical contractors.  

Accubid’s family of software products allow electrical and mechanical contractors to analyze their estimates in great detail including CAD-based estimating and takeoff and then export the data into project management, accounting and procurement applications. The acquisition of Accubid broadens Trimble’s industry leading "BIM to field" solutions for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contractors to automate project estimating and management, modeling, detailing, layout and construction.  

“BIM collaboration processes are transforming the way building construction projects are planned, managed and executed,” said Pat Bohle, general manager of Trimble's Building Construction Division. “Combining Accubid’s deep understanding of the electrical and mechanical trades and their detail rich application data with Trimble’s field solutions will provide contractors additional tools to become more productive, efficient and prepared to meet the demands of the industry in the future.”  

The Accubid business will be reported as part of the Engineering and Construction segment.  

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
