Game changer! You draw and the software costs it. Automatically. AND it gives you a formal NRM Bill of Quantities. All on one platform. Got existing files? Import and trace for a speedy estimate & BoQ.
The combined power of these two modules puts you fully in charge. Having design software is great. Knowing the cost of the project at the same time is really valuable. Having an existing drawing that you can trace for an instant cost is another level.
The key to improving profitability and productivity is down to the efficiencies you’ll see through the joined up thinking between the estimate and Design modules. This deep integration will keep your projects on track and your business on course.
BuildingWorks will help you develop your schemes, draft planning application drawings, get the project priced up in detail with a full BoQ, help you analyse it, produce profit and cashflow reports, material and labour schedules… we could go on.
BuildingWorks is truly dynamic. The live analysis of costs and thermal properties of the specification, linked to the library of BIM objects give you options. You have the data at your fingertips to make big decisions more easily.
It’s never been more important to maintain a decent profit right now. With BuildingWorks you won’t be keying in all the information at least twice. As every alteration is made, the effect of the change cascades across the entire project.
Planning permission becomes much easier when you can quickly produce drawings suitable for planning application submissions and building control working drawings. And significantly - easily alter them when requested to do so.
Powerful, automated building and drafting tools in the software enable you to quickly create quality sketch schemes, build plans, 3D visualisations and working drawings according to latest standards. It’s easy to use, no CAD training required.
BuildingWorks is packed full of simple yet intelligent building design tools, preconfigured specifically for construction, to make drawing build plans easy. Add auto-dimensions and extra construction detail such as quoins and brickwork detailing as well as interior and other exterior symbols.
As you draw your walls, a 3D model is automatically created (textured, solid or wireframe). PLUS, create automatic 2D elevations in just one click straight from your plan! Opt for BuildingWorks Professional and produce instant, impressive, 3D photorealistic models. That’s power to you!
Superb construction detailing. As standard. Straightforward as it is, you’ll be impressed by the construction detailing. It’s suitable for planning application submissions and building control working drawings. With auto-hatching, auto-sections and cross-sections and automated Building Reg’s notes* production (*when combined with BuildingWorks Estimate) you’ll be able to produce detailed plans with minimal effort.
Opt for BuildingWorks Professional and produce instant, impressive, business-winning 3D photorealistic models.
BuildingWorks Estimate provides the build costs of domestic building work linked to updated building material prices. Upgrade for instant Bills of Quantities (NRM) and customer quotes.
And it’s super data rich. Specify your plan as you draw using real product data from the extensive onboard library. We’re talking thousands of products, each one rich in information. Rate after rate after rate. You can swap elements in and out and BuildingWorks will show you the impact on cost and performance in an instant.
It can also help you manage costs by keeping you on top of price inflation, detailed materials schedules which give you more power to bargain with suppliers over materials and keep a tight handle on cashflow.

A lot has happened since February 2020 when the Construction Leadership Council published the Green Construction Board’s (GCB) report recommending ‘Zero Avoidable Waste in Construction – What do we mean by it and how best to interpret it.’ They start with the definition: Zero Avoidable Waste (ZAW) in construction means preventing waste being generated at...
