Cubit by Buildsoft
The Natural Way to Estimate.
Overview
Cubit is a construction estimating software that integrates takeoff directly with the estimate in a single interface. As quantities are measured on a 2D plan or a 3D BIM model, the estimate is populated in real-time. It is designed to provide a more natural and efficient workflow for estimators, reducing errors and saving time. It is popular in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
