Accurate cost estimation early in the feasibility process is critical for making informed decisions in real estate development. With our latest update, TestFit now supports automatic quantity takeoffs (QTO), created to work seamlessly with the cost model released last month.
By providing detailed tabulations of your TestFit models, you can generate conceptual cost estimates at the earliest stages of project planning—helping you streamline feasibility studies and reduce risk.
General Updates
New: Create Automatic Quantity Takeoffs
Expanding from last release for cost model, we’ve added a new quantity takeoffs (QTO) tabulation for all elements that TestFit generates including square footage, unit counts, parking count, and more.
Each quantity can be utilized in the Cost Model to create accurate conceptual estimates for each site and scheme that you create in TestFit. The QTO tables along with the Cost Model tables can also be exported to CSV file for further analysis.
Analyze Cut and Fill for Retention Ponds
Adding onto our cut and fill ability, you can now set a max depth and a max slope for ponds and get a pond volume under the earthwork section of the tabulations.
See Your Dimensions Stay on Canvas
Dimensions and areas created from our Measurements Tool will now stay in canvas, so you can easily edit them as needed.
Switch Low Detail Parking Types
For mass-based low-detail parking, you can now switch between surface parking or structured parking with a toggle.
Export Parking Details to DXF
The linework, styling, and names of custom parking stalls are now included in DXF exports to better facilitate downstream usage of your TestFit models.
With the integration of quantity takeoffs and cost models, you can now perform early-stage cost estimates with greater accuracy and efficiency. From site tabulations to detailed parking exports, these improvements simplify the feasibility process while providing deeper insights into decision-making.
