Taking Estimating to the Next Level

Advantages of PractiCAM/CAD Estimation
Our PractiCAM/CAD Design Suites have been uniquely designed to share information between all products and can be easily updated across your network. Read or write from any system at any time with the proper administrative privileges, and take advantage of our streamlined data-sharing software suites.
The days of estimating with only one software, drafting in another, then inputting the information into a third system for fabrication are over. Don’t waste your time recreating the same data again and again and again. MetaLab’s PractiCAM/CAD Design Suites seamlessly integrate CAD/CAM & Estimating Systems under one digital roof greatly reducing any and all inefficiencies in your workflow. PractiCAM Estimating not only has the ability to keep track of everything you make, but it also keeps track of everything that you buy. Accessories, such as dampers, tie rods, stiffeners, ductmate frames, clips, corners, bolts and gaskets can be tracked and reported to make purchasing easy.
Each aspect of our PractiCAD/CAM & Estimating Systems delivers unparalleled drafting advantages to users. Take off prints quickly and with ease, access accurate and flexible labor tables, quickly key in custom fittings called in from staff or clients for instant pricing, share data between all systems to eliminate redundancy, and download directly from your estimates to your CAD or fabrication departments instantly.
Using PractiCAD/CAM & Estimating Systems Estimation on its own or integrated into other MetaLab software suites will help you BID, BIM, and BUILD faster than ever before.
