Estimate
Smarter Estimating with Integrated 5D+ BIM
Drive Accuracy, Speed and Consistency from Takeoff to Final Estimate
Contruent’s advanced estimating software integrates Quantity Takeoff (QTO), 5D+ BIM and enterprise-grade capabilities to transform how capital projects are scoped, budgeted and delivered. From conceptual design through to detailed estimates, our solution empowers teams to collaborate in real time, reduce manual rework and deliver accurate, high-confidence estimates faster.
Built on over 30 years of experience in project controls and cost engineering, Contruent Estimating helps you move beyond outdated, error-prone spreadsheets into a streamlined, auditable and intelligent estimating environment. The platform also fully supports earned value management (EVM) and project forecasting so you can manage performance proactively across the entire lifecycle of projects, even those still under construction. Your surprises are minimized, your budgets and schedules are adhered to, and your track record grows more distinguished.
Estimate
Accelerate Your Workflow with 2D, 3D and BIM Takeoff
2D & 3D Integration
Cut takeoff time in half using our fully integrated 2D and 3D model-based measurement tools. Work from PDF, DWG and image files, or extract precise quantities directly from BIM models. All changes automatically sync to your linked estimates in real time, increasing accuracy and reducing rework.
BIM-Enabled Forecasting
Enable parametric cost modeling and visual scope validation with Contruent’s BIM integration. Identify data gaps quickly and create stronger forecasts with rich model-driven insights, all contributing to better project baselines and stakeholder alignment.
5D+ BIM Functionality
Leverage 5D+ BIM to connect 3D geometry with scheduling and cost data. Reduce takeoff effort by up to 75% and takeoff time by as much as 80%. Produce repeatable, auditable outputs that enhance visibility, transparency and control.
Collaborative Estimating, Centralized Intelligence
Real-Time Collaboration
Empower multiple estimators to work concurrently on the same project estimate. Standardize estimating workflows with shared templates, smart assemblies and centralized cost libraries, delivering greater consistency and faster output across your organization.
Version Control and Audit Trails
Stay audit-ready with automated version control, change tracking and historical logs. Contruent ensures full traceability, supporting internal compliance and industry standards, critical for managing projects that are under construction or in planning phases.
Data-Driven Confidence
Use historical benchmarks and data models to drive estimate precision. Conduct “what-if” analysis and generate insights that turn your estimate into a strategic decision-making tool. With embedded cost intelligence, you gain control over earned value analysis and long-term capital planning.
