POWERFUL ESTIMATING
CostOS速 IV
Innovative Estimating Succeeding in today’s marketplace is not a simple task. You have to respond promptly, accurately and confidently to all estimating challenges. Traditional estimating methods are simply not enough. CostOS Estimating brings the essential innovation to comply with the modern needs of estimating and sets the standards for a successful future. CostOS covers all classes and types of estimates, from high level conceptual to detailed and definitive ones. It has been carefully designed with the
estimators in mind and provides a modern and intuitive Graphical User Interface, making the transition to the system quick and easy.

Smart Assemblies Intuitive development of Assemblies and Cost Models provide the estimator with real power to produce and complete parts of the estimate at high speed. Nomitech has developed a unique and easily interpreted method for developing dynamic assemblies. Users that master Microsoft Excel, can deploy their talent in CostOS, and produce sophisticated models that can automate the production of the BOQ table. Moreover such models can be used by estimators for pre-design optimization and for delivering value engineering.

Today, CostOS is successfully applied by contractors, facility owners, consultants and engineering firms. It is built to assist companies operating both on a local and on an international scale and it consolidates experience acquired through a global network of presence. CostOS 4 brings intelligence and adds value to the work you have performed through the years. It’s unique engine allows estimators to build on their experience and semiautomate or fully automate their estimating processes.

BIM 5D CostOS has an embedded BIM engine allowing you to work directly on your 3D models and apply the what you see is what you estimate method. It works with Open Standard IFC files making sure that you can work on 3D models of all common BIM designing software. CostOS was one of the two systems to reach the final stage of the BuildingSmart’s Quantity Takeoff information exchange (QTie) challenge, and proved that BIM is ready for takeoff.
Collaboration and integration CostOS is fully scalable and comes both as an Enterprise and as a Standalone application. It allows companies to build a Centralized Historical Database and estimators to collaborate real time. Integration plays a key role in today’s business and CostOS comes with various off the self integrations, automating also the collaboration of the estimating team with the designers, quantity surveyors and planners. The estimates can be synchronized with a click of a button with the Primavera® P6 project plan, and with On-Screen Takeoff® conditions. Import and export to Microsoft Excel® is made easy, supporting the formulas built and used within CostOS. Moreover, third party cost da-
tabases that serve the Construction, Process and Energy industries can be integrated online with a provided subscription model. This ensures that you always have up to the minute cost information and that your past estimates can be synchronized with the newest rates with just one click.
Excel Formulas and Functionality The new CostOS 4 comes preloaded with many spreadsheet capabilities combined over a relational resource database. You can define your own formulas at a cell level, assign your own custom fields and even take control of the calculations that the software performs.
GIS Takeoff Nomitech’s latest innovation is the GIS Takeoff tool that comes on top of CostOS 4. Large developments, mega-projects and infrastructure projects can be analyzed with unmatched ease and speed, even when no information is available. The tool can even provide routes of transportation networks and the depths of the sea for your offshore projects. Combine the GIS Data with your cost models and assemblies to make go / no go decisions and to optimize your engineering.
