Since the last major update of Cubit in June 2016, the Buildsoft Development team has been working tirelessly to bring you their most advance BoQ/estimating and takeoff software to date. BSS are proud to announce the release of Cubit 7.
Cubit 7 is yet another pillar in our pursuit to make construction estimating and take off easier. Buildsoft’s focus has been shaped by user feedback, to give quantity surveyors and estimators a solution that reduces errors, and allows users to produce quick and efficient BoQs/estimates time and time again.
There’s some major features that give users significant flexibility and power in the way they estimate and takeoff using Cubit. Buildsoft have put together a short product update video below, giving you an overview of the new and enhanced features.
We hope you enjoy using Cubit 7.
✔ NEW Feature: Referencing: One of our most user-requested features headlines Cubit 7. Referencing in Cubit is far more flexible and powerful than anything Buildsoft have ever released, and gives users complete control over their BoQ or estimate. The ability to reference just about any cell, a range of cells, or a row in your BoQ/estimate. You can even reference another job or price list.
The referencing is intuitive, it even allows you to drag and drop items from any assigned job or price list from the Referencing pane into your BoQ/estimate!
✔ NEW Feature: Constants: Buildsoft have introduced a Constants library, with a set of default values for standard items like angles, beams, reinforcement and conversion factors. For example, you may want to convert cubic metres to the number of steel lengths. You’d do this by bringing a value from your Constants into the factor column. The constants are user definable and users can even create their own set of Constant values, depending on the type of work.
✔ ENHANCEMENT: Calculation Sheet: The calculation sheet has been enhanced to give you more flexibility when dealing with shapes, quantities and items, allowing users to work more naturally at this level of your estimates. Shapes and items can now move to anywhere in the calculation sheet. Collapse and expand options giving you better overall visibility. Also shapes can be used multiple times in one calculation sheet.
✔ UPGRADE: Client Management: Now Cubit users can add, edit and manage company / client details all within the Job Manager.
✔ UPGRADE: Licensing: In Cubit 7, Buildsoft’s new licencing system gives users better access, control and flexibility, particularly those on a floating licence. Whether sharing a floating licence between staff, or if you are setup to work between your home and work, accessing Cubit has never been easier.
