 SkyBIM can provide massive automation in the real-time management and cost estimating of chain stores. Once we have configured and costed one store, the rest are essentially automatic. If you are involved with Revit projects that are chain-store based (Subway, Chipotle, Starbucks, WalMart, Woolworths, McDonald's, etc) or have a high degree of repetition, please contact marek@skybim.com |

Capturing Building Lifecycle
SkyBIM is a cloud-based platform to host all the information collected throughout a building's lifecycle to optimise the way buildings are designed, costed, constructed, and managed.  Automatic Quantity Takeoff With SkyBIM, automated quantity takeoffs are as easy as clicking a button. Simply hit the 'Takeoff' button to view the project's latest estimate. It's as effortless as that. By automating the tedious task of quantifying, SkyBIM frees the estimating team to focus on higher value tasks.  Estimate Sooner Start estimating much earlier in the design process and avoid the painful cost-cutting exercises that frequently plague many projects. SkyBIM’s fast, accurate quantity takeoffs, helps you minimize risk, reduce delivery times and save costs down the line. Estimate as a Standard Deliverable Architects typically do not provide cost estimates on projects as part of their standard services, but the ability of SkyBIM to generate real-time estimates will change the nature of project deliverables for all participants. Projects Learn from Each Other SkyBIM estimates can learn from each other. All cost data including construction assemblies and labor crews can be intelligently transferred between projects. This means as more projects are costed, each new project becomes progressively quicker and easier to cost. Furthermore the estimating of similarly styled projects can be accelerated to the point where it is fully automatic.  Revit Interoperability SkyBIM estimates are able to interact directly with the Revit model, allowing the estimator to cross-check elements between the estimate and the model. For example, you can select items in the estimate and highlight their corresponding elements in the model. Alternately, you can hover your cursor over elements in the Revit model to dynamically inspect their takeoff quantities, costs and other estimate properties.  Bi-directional Data Exchange All changes in the Revit model are automatically reflected in the estimate. Furthermore, any changes made to the estimate can also be transferred to the Revit Model.

Easy-to-Use Interface SkyBIM provides a full WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment to view and edit your estimates. This easy-to-use interface allows you to interact with an estimate exactly as it would appear printed.  Cloud-Based Collaboration Collaborating on cost estimates just got a whole lot easier. From anywhere around the globe, multiple members of the project team can simultaneously access estimates hosted on SkyBIM's web server. Whether you are the architect, estimator, contractor or owner - you can view a project's latest takeoff quantities, edit product costs, create construction assemblies and print estimate reports.  Craftsman Costbooks Search a selection of Craftsman costbooks for products and ingredients to add to your estimate. Craftsman costbooks are published for the United States market and cover labor and material costs for all the major construction trades and specialties. Complex Construction Assemblies In SkyBIM, products can be represented by complex multi-ingredient construction assemblies in order to provide detailed cost breakdowns. For example, a door assembly can consume a door, a lockset and hardware. A wall assembly can consume masonry, plaster and a finish.  Labor Crews Optionally determine a product's labor cost by assigning a labor crew and installation time to a product. A crew can comprise one or more craftsman, each of whom is given an hourly rate. Installation time is the estimated time that it would take the crew to complete one unit of the product.  Powerful Filtering SkyBIM supports Revit Design Options, Phases and Levels - enabling you to produce estimates that are filtered by these parameters. |
Export to Multiple File Formats Share estimate reports with non SkyBIM users. Export to a variety of file formats including PDF, Excel, Word, RTF XML, HTML, TXT, CSV, JPEG, GIF and PNG.  Excel Price List Integration SkyBIM can work directly with your company's Excel price lists, allowing you to add your own cost items to a SkyBIM estimate. This integration with Excel allows you to utilise your existing Excel price lists and even update them further if you wish.  Non-Model Cost Items There are many items in an estimate that are never represented in the BIM model. SkyBIM allows you to add non-model cost items to your estimates. Request Pricing from Suppliers Request pricing and product information from one or more suppliers. At any stage, you can integrate a selected supplier's pricing into your estimate. Markup/Margin Markup/margin percentage can either be applied globally to the estimate or by individual product. Add Products to your Website SkyBIM products can be embedded in your website, enabling SkyBIM users who browse your website to incorporate your products into their estimates.  Multiple Report Classifications You can view your estimates classified in a variety of different formats, including UniFormat, MasterFormat, OmniClass, Keynote, Manufacturer and Alphabetical. |
