What Sets Us Apart

Features That Drive Success

Total Installed Cost (TIC) Estimation

QPlant delivers comprehensive TIC estimates—covering materials, labor, equipment, and overhead—with just a button press. Perfect for early conceptual stages, it generates Class 4 estimates effortlessly and supports Class 3 estimates with user-provided quotes, ensuring accuracy when it matters most.

Seamless Integration with Process Simulations

QPlant integrates directly with process simulation software, transforming Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) into detailed construction cases. By automating data extraction and analysis, it reduces manual input, minimizes errors, and accelerates cost estimation workflows.

Automated Material Take-Off (MTO)

Streamline your MTO process with QPlant. Extract data from smart P&ID programs like AutoCAD and SmartPlant—or enter it manually—to automate calculations and deliver higher accuracy with significant time savings. Organize and manipulate MTO data effortlessly for streamlined project planning.

Real-Time Adjustments and Flexibility

QPlant adapts to your needs with real-time adjustments to engineering changes. Its location- and spec-driven calculations allow for quick recalibration of costs based on geographic variations, ensuring your estimates stay accurate and up-to-date.
