Cost estimating

[cliff collins]

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.>

[gregcashen]

So does Ken. He'll get you sorted in a jiffy...promise.

Thanks for the replies. I'll see what Ken suggests.
(Aaron--just trying to get all the info out of the Revit database---sometimes size doesn't matter!!) :roll:
