Cost calculations

Create accurate and detailed estimates

Accelerate the creation of accurate estimates by connecting costs, materials, and labor calculations to 2D and 3D takeoff quantities.

CONNECTED DATA

One place for takeoffs, estimates, and documents

Work collaboratively on estimates, takeoffs, project documents, reports, and more — from anywhere, anytime.

ESTIMATING ACCURACY

Account for changes faster

Easily update your estimate as new document versions are issued and takeoffs are adjusted, to better inform estimating accuracy.

CENTRALIZED PRICING

Accurate rates, better estimates

Centralized material and labor rates ensure accuracy and consistency across estimating teams to help prevent costly errors.

Forma Estimate is a cloud-based estimating solution designed for general contractors and subcontractors. It connects 2D and 3D takeoffs to costs, materials, labor, subcontractor, equipment and other calculations, to help produce more accurate estimates, all within a single, powerful platform. Forma Estimate helps teams save time, win more work, and control costs for maximum profitability through a collaborative preconstruction experience. ​

By leveraging Autodesk Forma industry cloud, estimators can keep takeoff quantities updated in real-time, generating accurate costs at every stage of the estimate. Additionally, using the most current design files from a centralized document management environment further increases the accuracy of project cost estimates.

Forma Estimate is cloud-based estimating software that allows estimators to collaborate and stay connected—no matter where they are. Forma Estimate is the perfect solution for teams looking to increase collaboration, improve estimating transparency, and implement standardization.

Forma Estimate helps to streamline estimating workflows with its connection to Forma Data Management and Forma Takeoff. With these connections, teams can rest assured they are working from the latest project data to create an estimate they can trust in a more efficient and timely manner.
