Powerful cost-estimating software solution tailored for the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) industry.
Designed for contractors, engineers, and estimators, Fabrication ESTmep streamlines the process of generating accurate cost estimates for MEP systems by using a comprehensive database of materials, labor rates, and fabrication options. It provides an integrated workflow from design through to fabrication, helping businesses achieve more precise bidding, cost management, and resource allocation.
By combining advanced estimating capabilities with seamless integration into the Autodesk Fabrication product suite, ESTmep enables users to produce competitive bids based on real-world fabrication data, significantly reducing the risks associated with cost overruns and project delays.
Key Features:
- Detailed Cost Estimation: Generate precise cost estimates for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems using an extensive database of materials, labor costs, and pricing information.
- Material and Labor Management: Define, manage, and track material specifications and labor rates for different trades, ensuring accurate and consistent estimates.
- Predefined and Customizable Specifications: Leverage a comprehensive library of industry-standard material specifications or create custom specifications to fit project requirements.
- Integrated Takeoff Tools: Perform quantity takeoffs directly from 3D models or 2D plans, ensuring all project elements are accounted for and accurately priced.
- Bid Management: Track multiple bids and quickly adjust costs based on design changes or revised material pricing, improving the accuracy and competitiveness of bids.
- Labor Productivity Data: Estimate labor costs using productivity rates, factoring in project location, working conditions, and complexity, for more accurate forecasts.
- Reporting and Documentation: Generate detailed cost reports, including material takeoffs, labor estimates, and total project costs, which can be shared with stakeholders.
- Integration with Autodesk Fabrication Tools: Seamlessly integrate with Fabrication CADmep and Fabrication CAMduct for a connected workflow from estimating to modeling and manufacturing.
- Customizable Assemblies and Items: Create reusable assemblies and custom items, allowing you to estimate complex systems efficiently and consistently.
- Scenario Comparison: Analyze different design and manufacturing scenarios to determine the most cost-effective and efficient approach to a project.
- Historical Data Analysis: Use historical project data to inform future bids and estimates, improving accuracy over time.
Also, this Subscription Plan comes with Autodesk Support, which provides access to the latest versions of the software with phone and online web support during the contract period directly from the Autodesk support team.
