Construction estimators and project cost professionals who need accurate, BIM-integrated cost estimating and quantity take-off tools to prepare bids and align cost plans with project schedules

About 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.

And both BidScreen XL and SiteWorx/OS allows you to organize this digital takeoff directly in Microsoft Excel where you’ll estimate the cost.
