AECONNECT  ·  SEAT LICENSE

Re-price the design change in minutes, not weeks. Starting with one seat.

AEConnect keeps the estimate synchronized to the design model, then carries the priced result into your estimating software, the owner’s cost study, and the field budget. No exports, no spreadsheet cleanup, no re-keying. It is the same platform California Drywall runs on a $4.3B hospital program, now available without a scoped engagement.

Today, every design revision means redoing takeoff from scratch, then re-keying the result downstream. AEConnect replaces that loop with one saved workflow that re-runs on the next model version.
