Simplifying estimating even more, with Cubit 8.2.
Improved estimate plans display
- Improvements made to the way Cubit displays PDF plans within your job.
- Cubit will now also prompt you to refresh your plans as you change settings or apply different options, like Rasterise Text or Ignore Clip Shapes.
Calculating quantities and rates even easier with new quantity multipliers and aggregate totals
In Cubit 8.2, we have made a range of new columns available throughout your job to give more flexibility and offer greater transparency while building estimate.
In Cubit Professional, new quantity multipliers are now available. You can now add to your Calculation Sheet, Rate Sheet and Item Sheet:
- Factor,
- Conversion,
- Number and
- Wastage columns
Now you can calculate quantities of complex items, such as structural steel; breaking your calculations into individual components, without having to enter a formula to return the results you need.
We have also made new aggregate columns available for your Item Sheet, including Aggregate Rate and Aggregate Quantity. Aggregate Rate applies any markup you have assigned to your rate, so you can see the active rate being used for your calculations. Aggregate Quantity applies any multipliers to your quantities, so you can see the working quantities of your items.
Stay organised with enhanced note taking
We have enhanced note taking functionality in Cubit 8.2. You can now add a note to your Trades, Headings and Items across your estimate.
With Cubit’s enhanced note taking functionality, you can include more information about your estimate directly within your job, making recall easier and just good business practice.
