CostOS Estimating has proven to be a valuable tool for businesses looking to streamline their estimating processes. With its easy-to-use interface and customization options, the software has helped users centralize their databases, eliminating the need to transfer data from one software to another. This has saved users significant time and resources, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their business.

The software's ability to seamlessly interact with other programs like Primavera P6 has allowed users to take advantage of its cross-coding capabilities, enabling them to code a single rate to multiple methods of measurement. Additionally, the program's 2D take-off tool for PDF and DWG quants production has made the estimation process easier and more efficient. CostOS Estimating is an excellent fit for companies requiring cost assemblies that enable automatic take-off from BIM models matched to database rates. The software also offers an in-built spreadsheet feature that allows Excel-like bottom-up estimating.

Overall, CostOS Estimating helps solve business problems such as using multiple software programs to accomplish the same work, wasting time transferring data between programs, and lacking a customizable system that can meet specific needs. Its versatility and ongoing development make it an ideal solution for companies seeking efficient estimating processes while maintaining high-quality results.

CostOS Estimating is a construction and estimation software offering from Nomitech.

Autodesk’s Revit is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) tool. It enables architectural, MEP, structural, and engineering design, and provides analysis to support iterative workflows
