What it really isA modular project controls suite for large capital construction projects, owned by the Kiewit family.
Our takeInEight is built for the contractor or owner running a large project where the estimate, the schedule and the cost report must agree.
Its breadth is the draw: estimating, scheduling, change, contracts, documents and completions share data. The InEight NOW program makes it possible to try a single module without a sales cycle, but at $199 to $260 a month for Estimate or Schedule it is priced for professionals, and the integrated suite still needs a custom contract.
Why we rate itBroad, connected modules for capital projects, cloud or on-premises Estimate, and published per-user prices for four modules.
The catchThe full suite is quote-only, NOW covers only four modules, and Estimate NOW is $260 per user a month on monthly terms.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    A single NOW module can start quickly with an Expert NOW session (Schedule); a full suite rollout is a project in itself.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Adding modules beyond the four NOW products, or many users, moves you to custom enterprise pricing.
  3. Walled garden
    Medium: Estimate connects to Primavera P6, Bluebeam, Excel and APIs, but the value comes from staying inside InEight's modules.
Still a fit?
