Building Works
There is nothing like it on the market. It’s time to digitally transform your business. You might call it Practical BIM. We call it intelligent integrated design and estimating with Full Bill of Quantities. If you’re currently producing your project designs and costings separately, then think again. If you’re a builder, developer or designer this is just what you’ve been waiting for. BuildingWorks is a low cost subscription-based, fully integrated CAD and estimating software platform. Made for residential new build homes, extensions, conversions and property refurbishment. As you draft building plans the software simultaneously estimates the costs of the project. Its library of intelligent practical BIM products is packed with real materials and objects and rich manufacturer product data. Nothing else on the market shows you the immediate impact of your design and specification decisions on project cost and energy performance. And there’s a QS module for a full Bill of Quantities.

SiteWorx/OS
The Quantity Takeoff is an important part of the construction estimate. The Construction Estimate, used to bid the project, is completed by applying unit costs to the quantities taken off. If your quantities are wrong, the estimate will also be wrong. Having accurate quantities is critical to your estimating success. Our best in the industry takeoff software lets you craft and organize a list of everything that is needed to construct any type of project. And both BidScreen XL and SiteWorx/OS allows you to organize this digital takeoff directly in Microsoft Excel where you’ll estimate the cost. BidScreen XL provides the quantity takeoff directly in Excel. The color-coded takeoff is saved with the Excel cell and workbook. SiteWorx/OS, ideal for excavation contractors and larger GCs, creates 3D models from PDF and AutoCAD files that are used for calculating soil movement volumes. DWG files are also created with positioning and elevation data for machine control. 214-340-9436.

KonstructIQ
KonstructIQ is an AI-powered construction and financial platform designed for residential general contractors, remodeling firms, and home builders. It consolidates the full project lifecycle, from fast, professional estimates to budgeting, invoicing, payments, change-order management, cost tracking, subcontractor coordination, and real-time reporting, into a single interface. Its estimating module enables contractors to build detailed bids quickly, using customizable cost codes, markup or margin calculations, and either cost-plus or fixed-price models. Once an estimate is approved, it becomes the project budget; every subsequent bill, invoice, or change order automatically updates the budget so contractors maintain accurate job costing and profitability oversight. Payments to subcontractors or suppliers are built in, and support methods like ACH, checks, debit/credit cards, virtual cards, or Zelle, and invoices can be paid directly by clients through a portal to speed up cash flow.

Asta Estimate
Asta Estimate is construction cost estimating solution that helps professionals prepare fast, accurate cost estimates and quantity take-offs to support bids and cost planning across projects of any size. It enables users to perform fast and accurate quantity take-offs from 2D drawings via interface with tools like Bluebeam, directly from BIM models, or through automated population of project data, helping speed up estimate creation. It lets users build custom or industry-standard cost libraries with detailed labor, plant, material, and supplier price items, and supports easy cost planning directly from these libraries. Integration with project planning tools such as Asta Powerproject means fully resourced estimates can be exported into schedules to align cost data with project timelines. Asta Estimate also includes modular add-ons like BIM 5D for more advanced estimating workflows and, in supported regions, climate modules for cost and environmental impact reporting.
