Trimble Business Center
by Trimble Inc.
Overview
Trimble Business Center (TBC) is a professional-grade construction data preparation and earthwork estimating software designed for surveyors, civil engineers, and excavation contractors. It enables accurate quantity takeoffs, surface modeling, and cut-and-fill analysis using real-world terrain data.
TBC integrates tightly with Trimble hardware and field systems, allowing users to transform survey data into precise earthwork volumes and machine-ready models. It is widely used in infrastructure, roadwork, and site development projects.
