CHANDLER, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / McCormick Systems, leading provider of MEP takeoff & estimating software and a Foundation Software company, has published a new resource, “What Good Construction Support Really Means for MEP Estimating,” examining what responsive, trade-knowledgeable construction support looks like and why it matters to MEP estimating operations.
When a bid deadline is hours away and an assembly isn’t calculating correctly, slow support can mean submitting an inaccurate number or missing the bid entirely.
The new resource confronts this directly. It examines how fast, expert support keeps estimating workflows moving, reduces costly errors and positions contractors to pursue larger, more complex projects.
The resource covers several areas relevant to MEP estimating teams:
Why response time has a direct impact on bid accuracy and submission rates
What trade-specific support consists of
How one-on-one training helps new estimators become productive quickly
How proper software configuration supports expansion into new trades
How built-in PDF takeoff and knowledgeable support work together to streamline the estimating process
For MEP contractors evaluating estimating software or seeking to maximize their current platform, this resource breaks down how a strong support partnership can directly impact bid volume, team onboarding, and estimating accuracy.
