Estimate in the cloud 25.7 release notes

This is a preview of the upcoming release. General release is available starting 25-AUG-2025.

Indirect costs

• Dependent cost items subject cost calculation — Estimate’s calculation of a dependent cost item’s subject cost now aligns with the allocation target values to better manage allocation distribution. Previously, the subject cost calculation was based on the allocation source values. Read more

  When the option Use owner’s quantities to calculate cost is selected for a dependent cost item, and you allocate costs, the subject cost calculation now includes the allocation distributions and excludes the allocations source.

  

  During the upgrade to Estimate version 25.7, for jobs with dependent cost items with allocations that have targets contributing towards the subject cost of dependent cost items, an Attention warning message shows with the details of the impact of this change to your Target Price.

Load a job

• Loading a job — To simplify the process of opening a job, you can now double-click a job row in the Job Register or click the Load button to load a job. Read more

  

Navigate to job properties

• Navigating to the job properties — In the Job Register’s Action > Edit section, the Open button is now renamed to Properties. Read more

  The action button Open, which opened the job properties, has been renamed to Properties to easily identify the action. To open a job’s properties, select a job from the list, and then click the Properties button.

  

Microsoft Project integration deprecation in 25.9

• Object Properties deprecation — As part of the 25.9 product release, InEight Estimate in the Cloud is upgrading to a newer technology framework to further enhance the reliability and performance of our platform. With this upgrade, the integration with Microsoft Project will no longer be available. Read more

  The integration with Microsoft Project will no longer be available due to Microsoft’s deprecation of Interop functionality in .NET applications.

  As an alternative to Microsoft Project, InEight recommend using InEight Schedule, our collaborative, easy to use planning and scheduling solution built to construction industry standards. Schedule includes two-way integration with Estimate in the Cloud and also supports exports to Microsoft Project (.MPP) for continued compatibility where needed. This change does not affect Estimate on-premise.
