Top 4 Benefits of Cost Estimation using BOM and BOQ Prepared with Digital Software

Digital software, such as PlanSwift, the exclusive takeoff and construction cost estimating software, is an inherent catalyst needed to obtain accurate construction cost estimates. Experts at ADDMORE  use the software to include project BOM and BOQ takeoff information directly into the estimating system of businesses looking to steer clear of errors caused by the need to recall all information. It helps save valuable time as businesses are not required to begin each estimate from the ground up. This is because cost estimating using digital software, such as PlanSwift,  allows the generation of estimates from frequently used items. Here are a few top benefits of estimating costs using BOQ and BOM prepared with digital software.

#1- Quicker Estimates

Using digital software allows cost estimation to be much quicker than any other business tool. Many contractors of all trades and sizes have found the use of digital software to be beneficial for completing work in a far more efficient way, leaving them with ample time to get more done, leading to better and more bidding opportunities.

#2 Enhanced Precision

The need more accurately and precisely estimating material, equipment, and labor expenses, along with other costs, is incredibly critical, even more than it has ever been. Post- COVID-19 , as businesses are making efforts to streamline profitability, it is increasingly important to accurately monitor back-orders and installed or stored equipment. Estimates curated using digital software like PlanSwift help to provide incredibly accurate cost predictions and final bid prices.

Let’s be real—being an architect isn’t just about designing beautiful buildings. It’s about managing deadlines, juggling clients, and dealing with nonstop pressure. If you’re feeling stretched too thin , you’re not alone. You’re spending more time on drafting and documentation than on design. You need skilled help, but hiring locally is slow and expensive. Clients want faster turnarounds—without paying more. Sound familiar?

And let’s be honest, there are only so many hours in a day. That’s why more firms are turning to offshore teams to handle time-consuming tasks, free up their time, and bring back the balance between creativity and productivity.
