    Description

    Preconstruction teams often lose time when takeoff, pricing, and estimate updates are managed across disconnected processes. Manual quantity transfers, revision checks, and pricing adjustments can create inefficiencies, rework, and risk. In this hands-on lab, you'll work through a connected Autodesk preconstruction workflow from 2D and 3D takeoff to estimate generation and cost refinement. You'll learn how to capture quantities, apply formulas, push results into Estimate, manage updates, and use libraries, templates, and cost markups to standardize your process. By the end of the class, you'll be able to create a more consistent, scalable process for turning quantities into cost insights with greater speed and confidence.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to create 2D and 3D takeoffs using takeoff types, packages, and inventory to capture quantities more efficiently.
    • Learn how to connect takeoff results to estimating workflows and manage pricing, labor, equipment, and material costs.
    • Learn how quantity changes from drawings and models can be reviewed and updated directly in the estimate module.
    • Learn how to build a repeatable preconstruction workflow using account libraries, classifications, templates, and cost markups.
