    Description

    A recent QuickBooks survey found that one in four construction companies risk closure if they make two or three inaccurate estimates. The estimation inaccuracy is caused by the complexity of 2D and 3D data and the frequent updates to bid packages. It's compounded by siloed takeoff and estimation processes. Autodesk addresses this by seamlessly integrating takeoff and estimation within Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud). This lab will give you firsthand experience in workflows that improve takeoff accuracy and estimation using a unified, connected platform. You'll link 2D and 3D takeoffs to cost data, enabling real-time estimation. Walk away with learnings to perform faster, data-driven takeoffs, and deliver predictable project estimates through a connected source of truth.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to configure takeoff and estimation project units and classification systems.
    • Learn how to perform 2D and 3D takeoffs using various customized takeoff types.
    • Learn how to link 2D and 3D takeoffs to material, equipment, and labor cost calculations.
    • Learn how to export detailed estimation reports with accurate quantity takeoffs.
