Link 2D and 3D takeoffs to estimates, streamline workflows, minimise errors and collaborate in real-time to create competitive tenders.
)
Align estimators and construction teams with cloud-based estimating to centralise data, eliminate silos and ensure everyone works from a single source of truth.
)
Track all takeoffs and estimates in one place. Having access to accurate and consistent material, labor and other rates across the estimating team can help avoid costly mistakes.
)
Accelerate the creation of accurate estimates by linking 2D and 3D quantities directly to your estimate. Reduce risk, save time, and focus on winning more work with greater confidence.
Price line items by calculating all direct and indirect costs—materials, labor, equipment and more, all in one place.
No more creating estimates in a vacuum: simply send your 2D and 3D takeoff quantities to the estimate tool to begin pricing your project.
Easily update your estimate as new document versions are issued and takeoffs are adjusted, to better inform estimating accuracy.
A customisable, account-level cost library keeps pricing centralised, consistent and easy to update as market conditions change.
Easily organise and share files, ensuring everyone has access to the latest plans, documents and specs needed to build accurate, reliable estimates.
Easily apply cost markups to calculate the total project cost, accounting for general conditions, overhead, indirect costs and reserves.
Generate and save estimating reports directly to Files or the Reports tool in Excel format for better team visibility.
I’m excited to see Autodesk take a truly holistic view of the construction process — not treating design, preconstruction and construction as separate silos, but as interconnected phases within a unified lifecycle. Autodesk Estimate is a key part of that transformation — it helps bridge the gap between design intent and construction reality, bringing greater clarity, collaboration and confidence to early project decisions.

Autodesk Estimate is a cloud-based estimating solution designed for 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. Autodesk Estimate helps teams save time, win more work and control costs for maximum profitability through a collaborative preconstruction experience.
By leveraging Autodesk Construction 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 centralised document management environment further increases the accuracy of project cost estimates.
Autodesk Estimate is cloud-based estimating software that allows estimators to collaborate and stay connected no matter where they are. Autodesk Estimate is the perfect solution for teams looking to increase collaboration, improve estimating transparency and implement standardisation.
Autodesk Estimate helps to streamline estimating workflows with its connection to Autodesk Docs and Autodesk 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.
Autodesk Estimate is available through the preconstruction bundle, for specific pricing details and to request a quote, check out this page.
