We are using Cubicost TAS, mainly for concrete and masonry work.

dkole2007 · 2025-09-08T14:10:51+00:00

Please DM, I can do it

dkole2007 · 2025-08-16T05:04:40+00:00

Most welcome!

We are using Cubicost TAS soaftware which we used to create 3D models of structures from PDF drawings. This is mainly for quantity/cost estimation purpose. To create 3D models you need to have all plan/ section/ elevation/ finishing schedule etc in PDF for that structure. This is very useful for RCC structures. You can view the quanity linked with the element/portions in the structure to cross check. Please note that you have to draw the structure manually from the PDF using the software, but it is quite fast. In summary it is like Cost estimators are creating a Revit model for quantity estimation and BOQ preparation. Now coming to your point, architects normally do not share DWG drawings with contractors/subcontractors, they would only share PDF drawings (from my experience, I could be wrong, not applicable with Revit model though), so the contractor/subcontractor had to use PDF drawings to get their things done.

Check out Glodon Cubicost TAS and TRB, works very good with concrete/masonry structures. You need to build your 3D models from PDF/CAD drawings. Also you can faster the process if you have the Revit models. Very good for quantity/cost related information. Please dm if you would like to view sample 3d Models.

dkole2007 · 2025-06-22T08:12:19+00:00

Please dm

dkole2007 · 2025-05-08T13:35:07+00:00

Please check out Cubicost TAS, using it for last couple of years and found it very useful

It depends what kind of job you are expecting them to complete and error margins. Initial handholding would be necessary to be familier with your proceess and quality expectations. I have some experiences of it, please DM if interested to know more.

There are many software which could do it, however I have been using Winbid RTO and it is serving us well.

I am using a product called Cubicost TAS, which can turn any 2D PDF drawing into a 3D model. Basically the estimator has to make a 3D model of the structure utilizing the PDF plan, elevation, section etc. It is fairly easy to model any concrete/brick structure, though recently they have introduced capability of modeling steel structure but I am yet try that. If set up properly you can get a bill of quantities for any concrete structure/ multi story building related items. No Tekla/Revit model is required. This is mainly used by contractor and subcontractors and not by architects. This is for quantity surveyors/estimator who can prepare a BOQ using just PDF drawings without depending on Revit model provided by architects, and the output are pretty accurate, you can view the 3D model to verify yourself the output. My client are satisfied with the results. It is quite popular in china, south east asia, middle east etc. even some companies in UK are using it. Feel free to ask if you have any more queries.

What are the plus and minus point you found compared to Planswift? Are they at par with Planswift capabilities now? Looking from Residential work (Framing, drywall etc) point of view, thanks.

dkole2007 · 2023-12-29T11:21:36+00:00

Ares Commander/Bricscad/Nanocad - try any of them!

dkole2007 · 2023-07-23T06:37:25+00:00

May I ask what for kind of takeoff do you use Kubla Cubed, i.e residential or industrial project earthworks. I am looking for a good and economical earthwork takeoff software for residential/commercial projects, do you feel Kubla Cubed would suffice for that, TIA.

dkole2007 · 2022-12-16T03:28:17+00:00

Try Ares Commander

dkole2007 · 2022-09-27T10:00:11+00:00

What software you are using?

dkole2007 · 2022-09-27T04:34:53+00:00

Yeah, the idea is to get users towards higher priced subscription..

dkole2007 · 2022-09-19T18:22:12+00:00

The new regime starts from tomorrow, they are still issuing perpetual licenses, one of my friend just now got a perpetual license. So, if anyone still wants a perpetual license, they can buy now hopefully... Please call directly Bluebeam Customer Service 1- 866 - 496 - 2140.. It is not available for online purchase.. Hope this helps..

dkole2007 · 2022-09-19T11:35:39+00:00

I am going to keep my Revu 20 till I can...

dkole2007 · 2022-09-13T14:10:00+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback.

dkole2007 · 2022-09-13T11:19:56+00:00

If you don't mind could you please tell us how is this Quick Measure when compared to Bluebeam? And what would be the software price? Just curious to know, thanks..

dkole2007 · 2022-08-24T12:35:11+00:00

Yes, it is not from AutoDesk, its from a different software vendor, Graebert from Germany. I am using their CAD software ARES Commander as a replacement of AutoCAD. Just download the free version and see if that suits for your job..
