Cubit Estimating Standard:
Cubit Estimating Standard is an estimating and takeoff software like no other. It is the only application that allows you to perform your quantity takeoff directly inside your estimate, all within the same screen. It’s all laid out in one view, meaning the information is where you want it, when you need it. This makes it up to three times faster than other software packages.
By linking quantity takeoff with your estimate, you have greater control and accuracy over your jobs.
Cubit Estimating offers flexible user-friendly functionality that allows you estimate the way you want. By tracing directly over your imported plans, simple or complex quantity takeoffs are performed quickly and accurately plus its ease of use means after an hour of free online training you’ll be up and running. Perform quantity takeoffs from PDF, CAD and image files.
“I have used several different types of building software for estimating over the years and I personally find Cubit to be the best. The on-screen take off is excellent and the system has fantastic functionality for estimating.
We can provide our customers and our staff with marked up drawings indicating the works that are included in our contract and it enables us to easily quantify and monitor any variations. Cubit also has an excellent export to Excel function (including formulas) which we have found invaluable.”

3D Visualisation
See your takeoff come to life.
By tracing directly over your imported plans, quantity takeoffs are performed with pinpoint accuracy. See any element of your takeoff from any angle in 3D, and use this as a cross-referencing tool to make sure you don’t miss taking off any items, or to check all your openings.
Templates / Price Lists
Build up template jobs and price lists to save you even more time.
Collect pricing information and save them as template price lists (or even import supplier price lists) to control how your company prices jobs, ensuring accuracy and maximising profitability.
Go even further by creating template jobs that collate all your common trades and items, making it easier to start your next estimate, time and time again.
Variations Management
Customer wants to vary an item post-estimate? No worries!
This unique and comprehensive feature allows you to apply and mark variations as proposed, submitted, approved, or rejected; and have your estimate automatically updated. Its responsiveness allows you to validate and cross-reference at any stage, giving you accuracy and peace of mind.
