PreConstruct AI
PreConstruct AI is a web-based construction takeoff and estimating application for subcontractors bidding interior finishes, concrete, and wood framing work from PDF drawing sets. It reads drawing scales and uses plan notes, schedules, and partition legends to help identify and measure walls, ceilings, and concrete quantities. AI-assisted wall suggestions are in beta and are reviewed, approved, or adjusted by the estimator. Approved quantities become material lists for items such as studs, board, insulation, tape, compound, paint, concrete, and rebar, with calculations and drawing-sheet references. Estimators can apply their own material prices, create proposal PDFs, and export data to Excel or CSV. Projects can use imperial units, metric units, or both. The application supports estimating workflows; estimators review measurements and quantities before submitting a bid.

PriMus TAKEOFF
The solution for automatic construction estimates and BoQs from DWG, DXF, PDF, JPG, BMP. PriMus TAKEOFF is the quantity takeoff software that allows you to obtain fast and accurate cost estimates by extracting the measurement data directly from your project files. “Quantity Take-Off” indicates all the necessary operations that allow the quantity surveyor to extract relevant metric data from a drawing and proceed to the preparation of a cost estimate of what is represented graphically in a given project. It’s an international term that usually indicates a software that is also capable of acquiring measurements from a drawing saved in one of the many electronic formats (DWG, DXF) or a raster image (previously vectorized). PriMus TAKEOFF allows the quantity surveyor to save the drawing information and the relating cost estimate data in the DWG file by creating unity between the two document types that other software procedures do not support.

PriMus IFC
PriMus IFC is the 5D BIM software for automatic and visual Quantity Take off tasks using BIM models saved in the IFC format
Creating the 5D BIM model by associating costs to the geometric dimensions of the 3D BIM model can turn out to be a great advantage because: determining project costs is faster: with 5D BIM it's much easier and faster to detect changes in costs whenever design changes are necessary. In fact, thanks to the dynamic cost estimate updating with each project variation, it's also possible to evaluate cost variations in real time and propose budget changes, even before starting the construction phase; 5D BIM easily shows the costs of each element directly on the 3D model. The information extracted from the BIM model identifies and quantifies elements in a very precise manner; The main difference between the traditional approach and 5D BIM modeling is the speed with which the cost of the project can be updated and changed.
