Cairn Homes PLC (CRN.LN) a leading provider of high quality residential properties in Ireland, has made the decision to adopt Buildsoft’s Cubit software as its principal measurement and estimating solution which will result in faster and more accurate production of estimates while also enabling a more consistent approach within the company.
Buildsoft Cubit is the preferred estimating solution for construction professionals. This highly intuitive software enables you to quickly and accurately take off quantities from 2D drawings and generate automatic quantities from 3D/BIM models using our user-friendly fully integrated on-screen electronic measurement system tools. Prepare estimates, bills of quantities and tenders easily and all in a fraction of the time and cost.

Fergus McMahon, Managing Quantity Surveyor of Cairn Homes states:
“We are excited about the adoption of Cubit in our business. Cubit’s enhanced functionality and ease of use will be of great benefit to our project teams both pre-construction and throughout the delivery of each project.
Previously the company had adopted a number of different solutions to estimating and managing cost throughout the project cycle. In upgrading our estimating processes we identified a number of key criteria that the new system would need to satisfy, after we had evaluated a number of systems and we identified Buildsoft Cubit as offering the best solution.
These criteria included the ability to have the system installed and configured on our new Microsoft Azure virtual server meaning our users are working from a shared centralised database so that discrepancies are avoided. Another benefit of Cubit that we identified was the reporting functionality and the ability to generate a company specific report to export to existing worksheets for data analysis.”
