Adapting construction estimates to local building requirements is often a challenge for teams working across jurisdictions. Each city or county may enforce unique regulations for wall assemblies, fire ratings, or materials—variations that, if missed, can delay approvals or lead to costly corrections. Active Estimating is now making this process dramatically more efficient by enabling estimators to align assemblies with local jurisdiction requirements directly within their workflows.
Localized Assembly Matching—Made Easy
Active Estimating integrates data-driven intelligence to help construction professionals match wall assemblies to local code requirements without having to manually search through documents or external databases. This dynamic approach simplifies compliance and reduces the margin for human error in code-matching estimates.
- Tracks local jurisdiction requirements using flexible data filters
- Supports assembly mapping to standard categories like 1-Hour, 2-Hour, and Shaft wall ratings
- Allows quick customization per regional or project-based rules
Fewer Errors, Faster Estimates
Instead of risking outdated or incorrect information, estimators can confidently build compliant packages using real-time inputs from their current model data. The software enables users to transform and filter data—adding columns, using “contains” or “does not contain” logic, and combining multiple datasets to match assemblies with the jurisdictional needs.
Why Jurisdiction-Based Alignment Matters
Estimators working on projects that span multiple regions need a tool that can adapt just as quickly as their workload changes. Whether the goal is meeting fire code requirements in a dense urban core or applying specific seismic wall types in a rural zone, Active Estimating eliminates redundant work.
Features That Support Compliance with Confidence
- Custom filters to organize assemblies by region, type, or fire rating
- Conditional logic to support unique code scenarios per project
- Combines datasets from multiple sources for comprehensive views
Efficiency in Preconstruction
With streamlined data processing workflows, Active Estimating ensures that updates to design models automatically reflect on estimates, even as local code interpretations evolve. This proactive feature set empowers teams to adapt quickly, ensuring projects stay on track from preconstruction through delivery.
Conclusion
Construction teams need more than estimating tools—they need decision support systems that reduce uncertainty. By offering intuitive ways to align assemblies with jurisdictional building codes, Active Estimating helps teams navigate regulatory differences with clarity and speed. This alignment feature complements its larger mission to bring efficiency, compliance, and insight to every phase of construction estimating.
