Time Estimation: Actually there are many Softwares out there in the market but the most commonly used in the Indian market are Primavera and MS project for Scheduling and estimation of time required, but the software is not limited to this two, there are many like TILOS which is used widely in Europe, it is more useful for estimation of linear projects like metro and roads. Quantity: In most of the companies the quantity estimation is done in Excel, but there is much other software for quantity estimation, the most common are Revit and Tekla, from which you can directly model your project and take off quantities.

We can use software like Microsoft Project, Primavera or similar software to estimate the project duration. But you need to have a better understanding of the project management concepts to come across with effective time estimation.

For the estimation of the project, we need to have CAD drawings opened and simultaneously open XL program. Observe the actual dimensions in Drawing and put in the XL sheet. Feed formulas in xl sheet as per your requirement. For example, concrete values we need cubic units and plastering we need only square units. Go on collecting information from CAD and put in XL sheets.
