Estimator for SketchUp – Real-Time Takeoff Estimating from 3D models

Estimator for SketchUp is an awesome plugin that helps user to generate take-off and estimates the all associated cost of their project inside SketchUp. The plugin supported SketchUp 2015, SketchUp 2016 and SketchUp 2019 version.

Features of Estimator SketchUp Extension

– Real-Time Estimating Solution
– Assign cost data to components
– Use length, area and volume attributes to generate take-offs
– Include quotes (labor, general conditions, etc.)
– Generage company branded reports
– 100% inside of SketchUp

The great work put up by John Brock and his colleagues has actually helped the designers and developers to streamline their overall modeling process with accuracy and ease. Anything that the user models in SketchUp can be actually estimated quickly and quite easily. This astounding SketchUp plugins allows the user to play with the tools by assigning costs to the model depending upon the component, material used or the component layer. Therefore, one can easily estimate the cost of the whole project from start to end before actually starting the project. All the information can be stored in the form of template(s) that make the future estimation a snap and these templates can be retrieved and further manipulated as one wishes.

Estimator for SketchUp is in fact a real time extension that can be used to add quotations for labor and other elusive costs to account for the total cost estimation of the project. This extension of the 3D modeling software has especially helped interior designers, architects, mechanical and civil engineers in estimation of the overall costs of their upcoming projects in real time by just creating the imaginary models.

his SketchUp plugin has been developed with the aim to estimate the cost of sketchup models based on the material that has been used. Therefore, Estimator for SketchUp plugin provides cost analysis of the architectural and other building projects that would not have been possible otherwise. Among the varied SketchUcation Tools that can be accessed by using Sketchup plugins and extensions, estimator extension is so far quite unique and fantastic. By using this, users can actually generate takeoffs accurately of their 3D models inside SketchUp.
