    We are currently exploring ways to export database info from Revit models thru ODBC into cost estimating software--like Timberline, WinEstimator,etc.

    If anyone has experience or suggestions on what seems to be the best approach it would be most appreciated.

    Those are big solutions for a firm your size, Cliff... Our office is sizable and does considerable estimating. We still uses Excel/Database <and a guy with grey hair.>
