Problem 

In every construction project, it’s important to select materials with the right properties at an optimal price. Cost estimators analyze offers from different manufacturers manually and compare items, their properties, and the prices of building materials. The same product can have different names and be measured differently. This approach was time-consuming and often led to mistakes in cost estimates. 

Solution 

The Rubius team developed three excellent tools to estimate project costs quickly and easily.

• Construction calculator for quick calculations and updating estimates in a couple of clicks. 
• Price tracker for monitoring the most cost-effective building materials.
• Web portal for connecting items, measurement units, and other material properties offered by different manufacturers. The data is collected into its own classifier, which assigns each material a unique code for faster search.
• Construction calculator for quick calculations and updating estimates in a couple of clicks. 

Results

Rubius web portal helps engineers automate the process of comparing items, measurement units, and other properties of building materials offered by different manufacturers. The construction calculator developed by Rubius allows cost estimators to calculate the total project cost within seconds. The price tracking module helps choose building materials at the best prices.
