Building & Civil Engineering software

From 3D model to Bill of Quantities.

MAQS software models buildings and civil engineering works in 3D, then produces the bar bending schedules, material quantities and B.O.Q. that come out of them. It covers concrete, UK steel, timber and externals.

A closer look

MAQS Pro-CAD

£175 · one-time licence

Pro-CAD is the design and detailing tool. Build 3D models of buildings and civil engineering works using ready-made models for concrete, UK steel, timber and externals. Then produce 2D drawings and bar bending schedules from the model.

Quantities of materials and the Bill of Quantities (B.O.Q.) come straight from the 3D model and stay linked to it. When the design changes, they update with it.

CAD connections let you bring drawings in from other CAD software and send your work back out, so you can work alongside the rest of the design team.

Best for: engineers, designers and detailers.

File formats: Please enquire for supported import and export formats.

Runs on: Windows installer; please enquire to confirm compatibility with your PC.

MARKUP

£75 · one-time licence

MARKUP is the measuring and quantities tool. Open a drawing, mark up and measure the work, and MARKUP works out the quantities of materials: concrete, reinforcement, UK steel, timber and external works.

The measured quantities are organised into a Bill of Quantities (B.O.Q.) that is ready to price, issue to contractors or use for ordering materials.

Best for: quantity surveyors, estimators and contractors.

Runs on: Windows installer; please enquire to confirm compatibility with your PC.

MAQS Pro-CAD-MARKUP

£250 · one-time licence

The complete suite. You get every Pro-CAD and MARKUP feature in one licence: 3D modelling, CAD connections and bar bending schedules, plus marking up and measuring drawings.

Quantities and the B.O.Q. can come from your own 3D model or from drawings you receive from others.

Best for: firms that design, detail and cost their own work.

Runs on: Windows installer; please enquire to confirm compatibility with your PC.
