Revolutionizing Estimation with ARCHITREND ONE

Fukui Computer Architect Co., Ltd. is set to launch a groundbreaking service, ARCHITREND ONE, which redefines estimation processes in the construction industry. Scheduled for release on March 25, 2026, this cloud-based tool promises to streamline estimation work, reducing the necessary effort by up to 80%.

Reducing Dependency on CAD Skills

Traditionally, estimation in the construction field has required specialized skills in CAD, along with extensive data entry. The new Estimation Option from ARCHITREND ONE alleviates these burdens, drastically cutting down time spent on estimation tasks to just one-fifth of what it used to be. This new service seeks to address critical challenges facing the construction industry today, such as a shortage of skilled labor, rising material costs, and intense price competition. By focusing on speed and productivity, it allows businesses to provide quick and accurate estimates from the initial sales stage, enhancing both win rates and profit retention.

Enhancing Productivity and Streamlining Processes

The Estimation Option brings four innovative changes to the table, marking its contribution to Digital Transformation (DX) in the construction sector:

1. Productivity Increases: The software links with design drawings directly, eliminating the need for time-consuming CAD modifications and manual input.
2. Immediate Resource Capability: The user-friendly interface allows anyone, without special CAD training, to handle estimation tasks efficiently, breaking away from reliance on specific seasoned employees.
3. Flexible Working Conditions: As a cloud-based tool, it supports remote work setups, letting users perform estimation tasks from anywhere—be it the office or home.
4. Investment Risk Management: Operating under a subscription model with zero initial investment for software purchases minimizes financial risks. With up-to-date material prices automatically reflected, the system tackles price volatility more effectively.

Key Functionalities of ARCHITREND ONE

• - CAD-Independent Operation: Users can conduct estimations directly from stored ARCHITREND ZERO or Modelio data without launching CAD software, eliminating the need for extra CAD licenses for estimators.

• - Template Utilization: Easily switch between different specification templates for rapid calculation of various estimates, enabling sales teams to generate proposals in mere minutes.

• - Permission Management: By clearly defining user roles, it ensures price integrity and restricts unauthorized manipulation within the pricing master.

• - Visualization Features: Automatic highlights in 2D and 3D models show where estimates are generated, significantly speeding up the checking process and minimizing oversight.

Future-Proofing the Construction Sector

Through reformed estimation practices, ARCHITREND ONE aims to pilot a digital transformation within the housing industry that extends beyond mere operational efficiency. Its focus on enhancing profit margins, establishing competitive advantages, and promoting a workstyle revolution demonstrates its long-term vision. With these significant innovations in place, construction firms can build a sustainable growth foundation in increasingly challenging market conditions.
