Cost Estimator

Cost Estimator

The Cost Estimator Tool brings fast, reliable project cost forecasting directly into your BIM workflow. It combines AI-assisted quantity take-off with predefined unit-price libraries to produce discipline-wise estimates for Architecture, Structure, and MEP—down to systems, trades, and package levels. As your model evolves, the tool recalculates costs instantly, flags variances against the approved budget, and highlights the biggest cost drivers.

You can localize prices with region/country indices, apply escalation and contingency factors, and run what-if scenarios to compare design options, value-engineering alternatives, or scope changes. Import vendor quotes and market rates, map them to assemblies, and track deltas over time with versioned snapshots and an audit trail. Outputs include clear dashboards, variance reports, and exportable BOQs to Excel/CSV. With smart defaults and transparent formulas, the Cost Estimator Tool helps teams make earlier, better decisions—reducing rework, minimizing overruns, and aligning scope, quality, and budget.
