Background
SMART Estimator software produces fast accurate estimates, quotes, 3D models, CAD drawings and lists of equipment needed for almost all types of scaffolding (incl. Tube & Fitting, Cuplok, Kwikstage, Layher, Haki, Plettac, etc.) and provides automatic compliance checks for TG20:13. Hundreds of scaffolding companies have adopted SMART Estimator to help them win more business and improve their efficiency and the profitability of their scaffolding contracts. The new BIM Toolbox helps them to interact electronically with main contractors who often require their sub-contractors to engage with their tendering via digital 3D models. We are continuing to build new solutions and have recently developed two new mobile apps, which are proving very popular, to help with scaffold inspections, handovers and variations.
