Primavera is a Project Management Software, but it cannot be learned effectively by a fresher most of the time. Microsoft Project is also used in Project Management. It also has the same story.
The suggestion that I would give to fresher students is that they must visit a site or do some internship before you learn this software. These types of software can be learned from professionals and are costly. That is why when someone enrolls in learning this software, they should do it in a very effective and efficient manner.
You can use any BIM (Building Information Modelling) software for quantities take-off. this will give you very precise results. and this is also a very demanding field to work. the software you can use is Autocad, Revit, Tekla, Slack, etc these are very informative software if you need to just get an idea of the quantity, you can use Autocad only.
There are other software like CANDY which is dedicated to estimation and quantity survey.
Coming to Time estimation, there are many project management software that can be used for it the most popular one is MS Project, Primavera P6. If you want an online software you can use Zoho Projects.
The following software are used for estimation and quantity calculation: Auto desk quantity takeoff Auto desk Revit Microsoft excel Tekla Tilos Microsoft's Project Primavera Candy. CostX. Sage Estimating. B2W Estimate. HCSS Heavy bid. ProEst Estimating software. Stack. On-Screen Takeoff
From my point of view, MS-Project is the best from all other software it gives you a user-friendly interface and easy accessibility
Autodesk quantity takeoff , ms project and primavera P6 were the softwares used majorly in estimation
