Our verdict on Cubit Estimating
Cubit Estimating brings construction estimating and digital takeoff into one workflow for estimators, quantity surveyors, builders, contractors, and commercial teams. Measurements from PDF, CAD, image, and IFC files can update estimates directly. The product also includes IFC BIM quantity extraction, volume calculation, 3D visualization, job revisions, master price lists, template jobs, bills of quantities, and customizable reporting. It runs on web and Windows, with desktop and cloud-hosted options for different working environments.
Pricing is organized across Standard, Professional, and Enterprise plans, with monthly and annual billing. Standard costs AUD 200 per user per month monthly or AUD 167 annually, and covers integrated estimating and takeoff. Professional costs AUD 266 monthly or AUD 222 annually, adding advanced analysis, code grouping, bills of quantities, and custom reporting. Enterprise costs AUD 299 monthly or AUD 250 annually, adding multi-user collaboration, revision management, and IFC BIM-based takeoff. Prices are plus GST, subscriptions have a minimum 12-month term, and a 14-day free trial is available. AI Estimating provides AI-powered takeoff tools, with a limited-time early-adopter rate.
Cubit Estimating fits teams that need takeoff, estimating, BIM quantities, and collaboration in a connected system. Integrations with Xero, Microsoft Excel, MudShark, BuilderTREND, Cubit Select, and LiveCosts extend its fit across estimating, accounting, and construction workflows. Shared job access and revision management are particularly relevant for multi-user projects, while 3D visualization supports model-based review. Smaller teams focused only on basic estimating may find the starting cost and annual commitment harder to justify. Teams needing IFC takeoff, structured reporting, and shared project work are the stronger match, especially when Professional or Enterprise capabilities are required.
