Description

Asta Estimate is a powerful construction cost estimating tool designed to assist professionals in generating quick and precise cost estimates and quantity take-offs, which are essential for bidding and financial planning for projects of varying scales. This software allows for rapid and accurate quantity take-offs from 2D drawings using integration with platforms like Bluebeam, as well as from BIM models or by automatically populating project details, significantly accelerating the estimate development process. Users can create both customized and industry-standard cost libraries that encompass detailed pricing for labor, equipment, materials, and suppliers, facilitating straightforward cost planning from these resources. Additionally, its compatibility with project management tools such as Asta Powerproject allows for the seamless export of fully detailed estimates into schedules, ensuring alignment between cost data and project timelines. Asta Estimate also features modular enhancements such as BIM 5D, which caters to more sophisticated estimating processes, and provides climate modules in specific regions for comprehensive cost and environmental impact analysis. Overall, this robust software solution empowers construction professionals to streamline their estimating workflows while enhancing accuracy and efficiency.

Description

Builterra unifies your entire contract administration team on a single, efficient platform that enhances productivity, transparency, and profitability. Jeff and Chris, seasoned professionals in civil engineering, crossed paths in 2009 and engaged in numerous discussions about technology, eventually pinpointing a common issue in their industry: a contract administration process that was outdated. Realizing that existing solutions merely skimmed the surface of the problem, they identified a chance to completely overhaul the process from its foundation. Their innovative Builterra platform, inspired by Building Information Modeling (BIM), effectively bridges the gap in data transfer from initial design concepts to as-constructed information ready for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) via a cohesive web portal and mobile application. This modern digital pathway not only standardizes but also optimizes and links the entire contract administration workflow, encompassing elements such as cost estimating, bid preparation, field inspections, and progress payment documentation. Users can perform quantity take-offs and obtain up-to-date cost estimates directly within CAD or the Bid Preparation portal, leveraging historical pricing for accuracy. Ultimately, Builterra is paving the way for a more effective approach to contract administration in the civil engineering sector.
