Calculate an estimate

Save the model, confirm its pricing market and calculate quantities before completing missing prices and scope.

Calculate an estimate from the project's saved model, then inspect what it measured and what remains missing.

  1. Open the project in the editor and save the model. Then choose Estimate → Calculate in the editor menu to open the estimate workspace. On a narrow screen, open the menu sheet first and choose Estimate, then Calculate.
  2. Choose Country and, where required, a Region or Whole country. Check the counted-work settings.
  3. Select Calculate. The workspace shows the operation's progress and prevents another calculation while it runs.
  4. When it completes, check Prices for, the counted rows, Open issues and Gaps in this estimate. A calculation can succeed while rates or model information are still missing.
  5. Supply prices, review assumed and excluded work, and calculate again after relevant saved-model or market changes.

If existing prices belong to another market, Dravit asks you to confirm recalculation. Cancel keeps the current result; Calculate anyway proceeds with the selected settings. The priced location under the totals tells you which market the displayed result actually uses.

Opening the estimate workspace does not automatically calculate a fresh result. Unsaved editor changes are not part of a calculation from the saved project. A stored result can therefore be older than the model you are currently editing.

Calculation measures supported work and uses available prices. Find guide prices is a separate action. Drawn decorative objects and furniture do not automatically become priced construction. Review the result's limits before saving a version or using a total.
