Introducing AI Estimating for Cubit Estimating – the next leap in takeoff and estimating.

At Buildsoft, we’ve always been committed to creating software that helps construction professionals work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence. We’re excited to announce a major milestone in that journey: the release of AI Estimating, a brand-new add-on for Cubit Estimating. 

This launch marks our first step into artificial intelligence, and it’s designed with one clear purpose: to put powerful new technology in the hands of estimators, quantity surveyors, and construction professionals so they can perform their best work with less effort and greater accuracy. 

 

Why AI Estimating?

Estimating is one of the most important, yet often one of the most time-consuming tasks in construction. Manual takeoffs, repetitive drawing, and checking for errors can absorb hours – time that could otherwise be spent preparing competitive tenders, making strategic decisions, or ensuring profitability. 

Cubit Estimating is purpose-built for construction professionals to deliver faster, more accurate estimates. And now, with the brand-new AI Estimating add-on, it goes even further. 

AI Estimating for Cubit Estimating automates key parts of the takeoff and estimating process, featuring symbol counts, automatic area detection, and scanning text from plans. This means you can rapidly find and count selected symbols from your plans, and automatically detect and takeoff areas ready for your estimate. You can also quickly find and quantify specific words, names, letters, and numbers on your plan through a custom search.  

By eliminating repetitive manual tasks, Estimators, Quantity Surveyors, and contractors can reclaim valuable time to focus on higher-value work such as winning bids, improving accuracy, and ensuring profitability. 

Together, Cubit Estimating + AI Estimating let you: 

  • Dramatically reduce repetitive, manual work. 
  • Rapidly count symbols from plans. 
  • Automate takeoffs with area detection.  
  • Scan plans to find specific and unique text. 
  • Turn hours of work into minutes. 
  • Use AI technology to support your expertise, while you stay in control of every decision. 
  • Gain a competitive advantage and have more time to focus on winning work and remaining profitable. 

AI Estimating for Cubit Estimating is the solution designed to help construction professionals work smarter, not harder. 

 

AI as a partner

We know Estimators and Quantity Surveyors bring critical expertise to every project. This technology complements your skills, helping you achieve more in less time. 

Think of it as an assistant inside Cubit Estimating: it takes care of the manual, repetitive work so you can stay focused on the decisions and strategies that matter most. You remain in control of your estimate every step of the way.
