Construction estimating from building plans

Build your estimate from the project

An estimate starts with knowing what needs to be built. KutchCAD connects the dimensions of your plans and models with the work items used in your estimate. Organise quantities by trade, chapter, section or article so that your pricing follows the structure of the project.

For new construction or renovation, use imported drawings or your own survey. Assign relevant work items, review the quantities and prepare the data needed for your quotation.

Keep quantities and quotations connected

KutchCAD supports direct bidirectional links with selected estimating applications and library connections through plugins. A supported synchronisation can pass work-item changes between the two applications, reducing repeated entry.

• Quantify lengths, surfaces, volumes and individual items.
• Use your libraries and calculation rules to reflect your methods.
• Produce project descriptions and quantity schedules.
• Review revisions against the building representation.
• Discuss connector compatibility before selecting an integration.

For surveyors and construction teams

Quantity surveyors and cost consultants can organise technical and financial studies from the same project data. Contractors and specialist trades can prepare detailed quotations while retaining a visual record of the work being priced.

The demonstration is an opportunity to test your own files, work items and quotation software. EDICAD can help identify an appropriate workflow for your market.
