Release notes

Dated product updates across Estimating, GeoLab, Procurement, Project Controls, Execution, and supporting product areas.

1. August 2026

   August 2026 product update — GeoLab and Solar Layout Studio

   Decision-support geotechnical evaluation and ground-mount layout engines as implemented in the current product. Outputs remain engineering decision-support, not sealed design.

   • NewGeoLab foundation evaluation for systems including driven piles, helical piles, ground screws, and ballast, with confidence caps when critical depths are unknown.
   • NewSolar Layout Studio buildable areas, table and row assemblies, pitch, setbacks, and quantity roll-ups.
   • ImprovedSteel Intelligence pricing, consumption, galvanizing, and escalation logic for structural cost exposure.

2. August 2026

   August 2026 product update — Estimating and commercial

   Estimating updates include calculation graphs, cost build-ups, markups, and revision-aware drafts. An inspector that opens a compiled total is available to invited users.

   • NewInvited users can open a compiled value to formula, quantity, rate, dependencies, and revision context.
   • NewCost build-ups that can compile materials, crew, equipment, freight, galvanizing, allowances, and indirects by method.
   • ImprovedMarkup, contingency, and escalation kept distinct from measured cost; scenarios remain comparable on the same estimate.

3. August 2026

   August 2026 product update — Delivery, procurement, and trade

   Project Controls, Execution, Procurement, and Trade & Tariff as they exist in the application today. Trade figures are reference-catalog data, not a live customs feed.

   • NewProject Controls budgets, actuals, commitments, forecasts, and solar EPC cost categories.
   • NewExecution sections for daily reports, production, resources & logistics, quality & safety, and closeout.
   • ImprovedProcurement RFQs, vendor qualification, quotation comparison, and package tracking against approved quantities.
   • ImprovedTrade & Tariff sourcing views with stored duty/origin reference data and explicit professional-boundary language.
