Construction software is empowering builders to deliver projects on time and within budget. Below, we dive into 7 construction software programs that are speeding up construction processes, all of which can be easily adopted into your current workplace procedures. We also outline how you can maximise efficiency through integration with construction estimating software like Cubit.
Construction estimating software Cubit is designed to increase efficiency, productivity, and profitability. Cubit is a completely integrated estimating software solution that allows estimators, builders, and other construction professionals to enjoy flexible and seamless functionality. Estimates are produced based on the needs of its users. Cubit can be easily integrated with a range of platforms including BuilderTREND, Excel, Global, MudShark, Xero, and Cordell Direct.
Mudshark is used by estimators, engineers, builders, contractors and quantity surveyors. The software is used specifically for earthworks construction projects, creating a streamlined approach to estimate, model, calculate, track, and analyse data using 3D visualisation for a more interactive experience. But don’t be intimidated, MudShark assures us that it is simple enough to pick up even for your occasional user. Mudshark can be used with leading estimating software for builders like Cubit, as well as Microsoft Excel.
Global has been considered the leading estimating software solution since its release in the late 1980s. It provides a solid estimating solution for thousands of commercial builders, project managers, and surveyors.
