Bidcon
Elecosoft Bidcon is a construction cost estimating tool that helps professionals generate accurate, detailed cost estimates and quantity take-offs to support bids, cost plans, and 5D planning workflows throughout a project’s lifecycle. It includes powerful core features such as customizable cost libraries that let users build and manage detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, plant, and subcontractor rates or import data from Excel; global search and filter tools for fast data analysis; and import/export functions that simplify moving data to and from external files. It also supports tender management by sending enquiries to multiple subcontractors and comparing responses to enhance decision-making, plus in-built templates to reduce errors and improve consistency in estimating. Advanced capabilities enable users to publish estimates to the web for authorized browser access and set user accounts and permissions for secure, controlled collaboration.

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.

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.
