Business Needs:

  • Create detailed luxury kitchen layouts and 3D models in 2020 Design using precise room dimensions.
  • Generate accurate quantity takeoffs (QTOs)from architectural drawings for reliable cost estimation.
  • Develop precise material value BOQs in Excel to ensure accurate bid calculations.
  • Align 3D models and drawings with take-off data to minimize price deviations and produce accurate quotations.

Project Challenges:

  • Lack of skilled estimators delayed accurate quantity take-offs and cost estimation.
  • Immediate engineer training was required to improve speed and bid precision.
  • Manual cost calculation caused inconsistent estimation results.
  • Extended estimation timelines prevented simultaneous bid submissions.

Our Solutions and Approach:

A US based Kitchen cabinet manufacturer approached TrueCADD to save time and reduce errors using macro-based QTOs.

  • Final architectural drawings were used to create detailed cabinet shop drawings and QTOs for bidding.
  • Issued multiple RFIs to clarify cabinet specifications, joinery details, and design requirements.
  • Measured veneers, carcasses, and board sizes, including plywood and particleboard, for accurate 3D CAD modeling.
  • Used Excel-based BOQs to calculate the costs of cabinet hardware, doors, hinges, handles, and fittings.
  • Performed multi-level quality checks for material and cost estimation while adding bought-out item costs.

Business Impact:

  • Increased bid-win ratio by delivering accurate estimates.
  • Ensured exact material takeoffs through high QTO accuracy.
  • Accelerated estimation using QTO macros, outperforming manual calculations.
