FAQs
Who is this database best suited for?
Anyone who wants maximum value from Accubid Anywhere.
Keystone’s database is built for contractors who care about consistency, speed and reducing estimator-to-estimator variance. It’s used by both small and large contractors who understand that investing in a professionally built database, grounded in real estimating workflows delivers far better results than starting from scratch.
If we've been using Accubid Anywhere for years and we're not happy with it, can we still get your database?
Absolutely! You're not stuck with your current system. You can still get our database. Trimble does charge a fee for hosting two databases, but you can have both your old one and our new one running separately. Many of our clients do this, and it works seamlessly.
Can we modify the database after purchase?
Yes. The database is designed to be extended and customized to match your company standards.
What content does this database have versus the default database?
You’ll get far more intelligent assemblies (about 1,196 custom ones), ready-to-use designations (about 287), complete system lists with custom takeoff pads (55 Systems and pads), detailed reports, and all the behind-the-scenes logic already done — so your estimates are quicker and more precise.
How does my company get the database?
We typically start with a demo for your team. If you decide to move forward, we issue an invoice.
Once payment is complete, the Trimble cloud team coordinates the migration.
What normally takes years of internal development, can be in place within weeks, with minimal disruption to your workflow.
Are you just a software person?
No. This database was built from real estimating experience.
Our background is trade school → electrical apprenticeship → field electrician → electrical estimator → Director of Estimating for an EC&M Top 50 contractor.
This database reflects how estimates are actually built in the field and in the office. It’s not just data—it’s a complete estimating process.
How long have you been working on this database?
10 Years, so you don’t have to. You have to see it to believe it.
Do you offer support after the purchase?
Yes. Training and support sessions can be booked directly through this website.
Support is focused on helping your team understand the database, Accubid Anywhere in general and estimating best practices to get the most value out of the program and your team.
What advantage is there to doing business with Keystone vs another database builder?
Keystone is a U.S. based company with a properly formed LLC, EIN, and active insurance coverage, not an inexperienced database builder unfamiliar with our industries workflow/business practices.
We offer a pre-built Accubid Anywhere database, built by a recognized industry leader, eliminating the wasted time and uncertainty of trying to walk someone through building a database from scratch, something many contractors try once and regret.
Our database is used daily by nearly 100 electrical contractors across the United States. Keystone stands behind its work and provides ongoing support, updates, troubleshooting, and training.
