Summary

e-Builder is now Trimble Unity Construct. We've rebranded to deliver enhanced features, deeper integrations and an improved user experience. Learn more about the new name, what’s new and how to sign in or explore the new platform.

e-Builder is now Trimble Unity Construct, the same trusted construction project management platform, reimagined for the future.

Trimble Unity Construct is a cloud-based construction project and capital program management capability that integrates project and asset data with GIS functionality to streamline workflows, optimize resources and ensure compliance and safety. By increasing data visibility, efficiency and collaboration, Trimble Unity Construct helps reduce construction project costs by more than 4%.

Trimble Unity Construct capabilities: data accuracy, communication, timeline, budget, resources.

Trimble Unity Construct empowers construction owners with accurate data management, efficient workflows and real-time collaboration capabilities.

This evolution preserves all the powerful features you've come to rely on in e-Builder and introduces enhanced collaboration, improved outcomes, reduced project risk and deeper integrations within the Trimble ecosystem — all in one powerful platform.

Why did e-Builder rebrand?

This isn't just a name change. The new name is part of our broader strategy to provide a simpler, consistent customer experience across the Trimble ecosystem. The change shows our commitment to delivering a more unified and connected, end-to-end construction lifecycle platform.

Facility and asset owners seek ways to automate their workflows to better steward their resources, work more efficiently and reduce the total cost of ownership of their facilities and assets. Countless organizations are looking for ways to improve efficiency by connecting the design, construction, operation and maintenance phases of the asset lifecycle. These organizations have expressed their need for a more comprehensive lifecycle solution suite that will help them achieve their strategic and operational goals.

Trimble Unity Construct, part of the Trimble Unity Asset Lifecycle Management Suite, helps owners meet this critical need, by providing end-to-end solutions for managing their assets. Trimble Unity Construct will continue to deliver innovation through future releases, driven by ongoing research and development investment.

Further streamline your business processes and data collection with newly  integrated geographic information system (GIS) functionality. In addition, a new mobile solution enables seamless office-to-field-to-office teamwork across the asset lifecycle.

Enhanced with GIS functionality for spatial data analysis and visualization

Trimble Unity Construct now integrates GIS to enhance asset and infrastructure management, connecting spatial data with project and process workflows:

  • Access integrated GIS and interactive project maps, including role-based map sharing for efficient workflows.

  • Improve process control and outcomes with consistent, accurate data collection and informed decision-making.

  • Use field-to-office workflows and data sharing to keep stakeholders up to date on project progress.

Simplified field operations with the Trimble Unity Field mobile app

Trimble Unity also includes the Trimble Unity Field mobile app, which can be used with Trimble Unity Construct for a variety of roles through construction of a new asset or inspections and maintenance of an existing one:

  • Access project information including documents and GIS data associated with your projects using your phone or tablet.

  • Identify the location of processes and work activities and accurately capture progress updates with notes, pictures and annotations, and take appropriate actions based on the configured workflows.

  • Enhance decision-making with real-time data and reduce travel time and rework, resulting in significant savings.

Trimble Unity Field capabilities: data entry & management, asset tracking, cost savings, compliance.

Trimble Unity Field is a mobile capability that provides role-based, GIS-centric and project-centric data collection workflows that support the fieldwork of construction, operations and maintenance teams.
