It is one of the most widely used programmes in the construction world, as is Presto, which is next on our list.
We position it as the second option, as it is interesting as a price generator, it is multi-parametric and very complete. It contains information on the cost of each of the items and you can also generate other types of documents necessary for architectural projects.
One of its major handicaps is the slowness of the programme, it takes a long time to load the price generator and it is only available for Windows computers.
It has an interesting plugin that allows us to make measurements from Revit.
Summary of features : Costs - Certifications and Invoicing - Work planning - Subcontracting management - Work budget.
The price is more than 600 € per month.
Another of the jewels in the crown, Presto is in third place. It is a very complete programme in case you use Windows. It allows you to connect to different price banks, which reminds us a lot of the Cype Archimedes system.
You can generate work certifications, as well as carry out planning with Gantt and one of its latest novelties is that it allows you to make measurements from IFC files.
We find the Presto interface more intuitive than Cype Archimedes.

The price is 420 € per year.
Fourthly, we present Menfis, a simple but very powerful tool. It allows you to make measurements and budgets, import measurements made in Excel, and make work certifications.
Also in its latest versions it has joined the BIM world and you can make measurements from Revit. It has an automatic budget update system and the measurements are automatically updated when your BIM model changes.

Finally we have PriMus, a program from AccaSoftware (creators of the Edificius program). It is very compact and allows you to do everything you need for your measurements and budget.
The strength of PriMus is its "print manager" which allows you to generate documentation by inserting images and thus personalise it for delivery to the client or use it during the construction work.
