The Future of Connected Preconstruction: From Takeoff to Estimating

As a core component of preconstruction, estimating is where project vision takes shape and budgets and relationships are built. Since preconstruction lays the foundation for every successful project, precise, connected estimating is essential from the start.

In this eBook, you’ll discover how workflows in Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) are transforming the way estimators work. You’ll learn how to:
• Eliminate manual data entry and reduce errors 
• Perform 2D and 3D takeoffs in one platform 
• Build detailed, accurate estimates with a centralized cost library 
• Stay agile with real-time updates and version control 
• Deliver faster, more competitive proposals 
• Collaborate seamlessly across teams and stakeholders 

Whether you’re part of a small estimating team or managing bids across regions, this guide will help you streamline processes, improve accuracy, and win more work.
