About AutoScan
AutoScan is a monitoring software from Newton Software that enables businesses to track and analyze their network performance. It provides real-time data analysis, automated reporting, and alert notifications for system health issues so that organizations can maintain operational efficiency. AutoScan supports various network protocols and is compatible with multiple devices, allowing for broad applicability across different IT environments. Additionally, it helps identify potential vulnerabilities and improve resource allocation. Key capabilities: real-time monitoring automated reporting alert notifications multi-protocol support vulnerability assessment Best for: IT professionals that need to oversee network performance and address potential issues proactively.
AutoScan by Newton is a specialized and highly efficient quantity estimation tool that functions as a powerful add-on to AutoCAD. Its core strength is its ability to automatically generate comprehensive Bills of Quantities (BOQ) for all major construction elements directly from CAD drawings with an advertised zero manual error rate, saving massive amounts of time. It is particularly strong in the structural (RCC) and finishing aspects of building estimation, with features like customizable deductions and typical floor copying that are invaluable for the real estate and construction industries. While its deployment requires an existing AutoCAD license and its market focus is strong in India, AutoScan is a reliable, high-ROI investment for any engineering or construction firm looking to digitize and accelerate its cost estimation process.
Pros & Cons
- +Highly effective for multi-story buildings by allowing easy duplication and calculation for typical floors.
- +Calculates quantities for both structural (RCC) and architectural (finishing) items
- +Works directly within AutoCAD
- −Accuracy is dependent on the mode of drafting and the quality of the CAD operator/drawing cleanup
- −The software is an add-on and requires a separate, active license for AutoCAD to function
- −No publicly available pricing
Features
Key features
- Automatic BOQ Generation from CAD
- Scans AutoCAD drawings (DWG/DXF) to automatically extract the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for all major building items. Saves significant time and eliminates manual errors in the estimation process.
- Comprehensive Quantity Coverage
- Calculates quantities for almost all construction items, including Foundation (excavation, PCC), RCC (columns, beams, slabs, shuttering), and Finishing (plaster, paint, flooring, skirting). Ensures a complete and detailed project estimate.
- Schedule Reading
- Reads not just the drawing entities but also the RCC and door/window schedules written on the architectural CAD drawing. Enables detailed and accurate material specification and counting.
- Export to Excel/Abstract
- Generates the BOQ in industry-standard formats, including L/B/D measurement sheets and abstract formats, with the ability to be further edited in Excel. Facilitates cross-checking, final adjustments, and client reporting.
- Typical Floor Copying
- Helps in quickly copying and calculating quantities for typical floors in multi-story buildings. Drastically speeds up estimation for high-rise and repetitive structure projects.
Additional features
- Customizable Deductions
- Offers customizable methods for deducting areas of doors, windows, skirting, and dado from finishes like plaster and paint. Ensures calculations reflect real-world construction practices accurately.
- Project/Floor-wise Abstract
- Provides project-wise and floor-wise abstract-estimates, which is ideal for detailed budgeting and phase-wise planning. Offers granular cost control and analysis.
- Automatic Drafting Facility
- Includes tools for the quick placing of rooms, doors, windows, and RCC items like columns and beams within AutoCAD. Aids in standardizing drawings for easier BOQ extraction.
- Detailed Measurement Sheets
- Generates detailed sheets that allow users to easily cross-check and verify all calculated quantities. Enhances the transparency and reliability of the estimate.
- RERA Format Support
- Can generate the Bill of Quantities in RERA formats (a regulatory requirement in India). Ensures compliance with local construction regulations.
- Zero Manual Error Claim
- The core mechanism is designed to eliminate the human-dependency and manual errors associated with traditional takeoff methods. The key selling proposition for speed and accuracy.
