Autodesk Fabrication ESTmep is a cost estimation software tool that lets mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors produce more accurate cost estimates for MEP building systems projects throughout the detailing, fabrication, and installation workflows.
ESTmep includes the following features:
Added manufacturers content and patterns: Select from thousands of manufacturer’s items and pattern templates, including 54 newly added imperial ranges.
Enhanced Database Export/Import: Use a single command for database export and import, as well as optional insulation specifications and sections.
Shared content libraries and databases: All Fabrication products share libraries and databases for more seamless estimating, detailing, fabrication, and installation workflow.
Enhanced real-world content, price, and costs: Access a library of real content, pricing, and costing data for more accurate cost estimation and analysis.
Model import for bid generation: Extend design intent models from Revit building design software*, Revit MEP BIM software for MEP, or AutoCAD MEP software into Fabrication ESTmep for more accurate, competitive bids.
Accelerate underlay trace: Quickly develop competitive bids using underlays and Design Line technology.
Adjustable cost estimates: Create more accurate cost estimates based on project and market variables.
Built-in Harrison codes and prices: New and legacy imperial content contains Harrison codes and prices to support the production of more accurate bids.
Track project variation: Record all Adds and Omits on a job to support traceability and promote accountability for changes. Analyze this data to make comparisons against the original estimate.
Value engineering option tools: Perform value engineering on services more efficiently, and produce several cost/benefit options for your clients.
Color-coded cost tool: Visually define the cost of duct and pipe with the color-coded Cost Analysis tool.
