Automatically generate estimates from QTO data. Apply pricing rules to BIM quantities for cost estimates.
Automatically generate estimates from QTO data. Apply pricing rules to BIM quantities for cost estimates.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Manual estimate creation challenges: Time-consuming quantity mapping Inconsistent pricing rules Errors in calculations Difficulty updating estimates
Automated estimate generation from BIM/QTO data using configurable pricing rules and assembly mappings.
