Really helpful....Quantifier fills a need for the small contractor who can't justify a yearly cost for other cost estimating extensions. Just used this on a big deck R&R and it saved me from missing things and the customers loved the detail. Lots of customers are scared of being ripped off by contractors and with the report from Quantifier it puts them at ease. It would be nice to see a tutorial on how to set a Sketchup Template that contains the costs and layers used the most and also how you include overhead and profit into your estimates.
Concrete superintendent here , i would much rather just draw both retaining wall and spread footer together and do a follow me , i found this very counter productive this time around but i immensely appreciate your videos
Thanks for the comment! Probably depends on what you're trying to do and how you estimate the costs as well. You could totally do what you've described and maybe apply a different material to the sides of the footer and quantify that material to figure out formwork square footage for each type of foundation if you need that quantity.
Very helpful. I am looking to design and build an ADU. What do you think is a good source of cost estimation in 2022? RS means? At this point I am looking for a “rough cut” to see if I am in the ballpark for my budget. I realize I will have to do a detailed design but I want to make sure I have a basic idea of my costs before getting a survey, doing a detailed design, etc. thanks for the great info.
I'm assuming the area it calculates is the full surface area of each component. But when it comes to formwork, for instance, the area that really matters is the area of the two formed sides (excluding the top and bottom). Is there a way to handle this situation?
👍👍great video... Wish you could team up with the Creator and create video tutorial for the book "sketchup for builders" book has a lot of good information but hard to follow along. Always find myself going back to your course and figure things out
Hi Everyone! Let me know if you ever use SketchUp quantities to create estimates and how you do it in the notes below! :)

I love this channel, he inspired me to create my channel.
Dude - I appreciate this if true, but you need to stop coming in the comments on my videos pitching your CAD channel
But, good work getting out there and making something - that's not easy for people to do and you're doing it
@@Thesketchupessentials comment was real. Thanks anyway for helping new channels
Understood and appreciate it :) 👍

👍 it's really make my life easy. Thanks and please upload more videos about estimation. Thanks again.
Will do - I'm thinking maybe framing and walls next week :)
@@Thesketchupessentials Do u have tutorials for formwork of concrete?
@@Thesketchupessentials THANKs Bro. 😊
Really usefull
👍👍great video...

John Brock, right? He's got some great SketchUp extensions out there - I got to meet him at Basecamp - really nice guy :)
@@Thesketchupessentials yes it is. I think you guys should team up.
Does it come in metric?
I think all you do is change SketchUp's units to metric...
Hi......my cost is not changing
plz help me
