Organize estimates by construction system
Keep work sections, construction types and estimate rows structured from the beginning instead of rebuilding tables manually for every project.
STRUCTURED ENGINEERING MODEL FOR PLANNING WORKS

Latest BuildNorm updates
BuildNorm Cloud is actively developed with new languages, integrated construction norms and multilingual construction documentation features.
7 November 2026
BuildNorm Cloud is now available with a completely free 14-day trial. Registration requires only a valid email address, with no credit card or payment details required. Users receive full access to the cloud service for 14 days, starting after setting their account password. Once the trial period expires, users can choose a subscription plan that suits their needs or simply decide not to continue. No automatic charges or subscription commitments apply.

BuildNorm has expanded its normative database with two new items for breaking out and lowering the level of existing concrete slabs. The new norms cover work for slab thicknesses up to 10 cm and over 10 cm and include labor and machine-time norms. The norms represent averaged values and can be adjusted using coefficients according to the specific execution conditions.
9 September 2026
BuildNorm has completed a major optimization of its normative base. Duplicate and overlapping work positions have been removed, while work names have been revised to be not only technically correct but also intuitive and easy to understand. The work hierarchy has been reorganized to follow real construction processes and the way work is actually selected and planned on site. Construction types are now used more consistently to show only relevant operations, while different technologies remain separated where they require different labor or installation methods. The result is a cleaner, more logical and easier-to-use normative base for planning construction and repair works.
From estimate setup to XLSX export
1
Create estimate
Define project name, date and hourly rates for labor and equipment.
2
Select construction type
Choose the construction system that matches your project structure.
3
Add norms and edit
Add norm positions, set quantities and adjust labor or equipment time.
4
Export estimate
Generate a structured XLSX file ready for review, editing and printing.
Built around real construction workflows
Reuse predefined construction norms
Reduce estimate preparation time by using integrated labor and equipment norms grouped by section and construction technology.
Review before export
Check the full estimate structure, sections, subtotals and totals before generating the final XLSX file.
Work in your native language
Work in BuildNorm in the language you are comfortable with, while preparing bills of quantities and cost calculations in your client's language. The multilingual workflow helps you prepare clear, client-ready construction documentation for international projects.
Built for construction professionals
Contractors
Fast operational estimates for real projects and repeatable construction systems.
Field engineers
Structured workflow for labor, equipment and section-based estimation.
Timber-frame & SIP builders
Construction-specific norms and systems for low-rise building workflows.
Small teams
Simple estimating without complex setup, heavy ERP systems or spreadsheet chaos.
Continue working in Excel
BuildNorm does not replace your Excel workflow. It gives structure before calculations begin, then exports a clean XLSX file for review, editing, sharing and printing.
