CHANDLER, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / McCormick Systems, provider of MEP takeoff and estimating software and part of the Foundation Software business portfolio, has released an on-demand webinar to help plumbing and mechanical contractors sharpen their estimating process ahead of bid season.

The free webinar, "Get Bid Season Ready With McCormick," is led by Patrick McCormick, Client Sales Representative at McCormick Systems, who demonstrates how digital tools support and simplify the estimating process even when dealing with compressed timelines and big competition.

He breaks down the company's own award-winning bidding solution, McCormick, as an example to show the various features that make the most noticeable difference, including:

• Digital takeoff: Measure pipe runs and place fixtures

• Material and labor pricing: Accessing pre-built plumbing databases with ready-to-use material and labor cost data

• Assembly-based estimating: Grouping components - piping, fittings and hangers - to keep estimates complete and consistent

• End-to-end calculations: Moving from takeoff to final bid with material costs, labor hours, overhead and profit calculated in one place

• Change order management: Tracking and monitoring change orders within the same project file

To see all the ways software can have a direct impact on bidding success, watch the webinar here.
