Attic+ is quantity takeoff and estimation software that converts digital models and PDF or DWG drawings into accurate, usable quantity takeoffs for cost studies.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use Attic+ to:

- Prepare quantity takeoffs based on models and drawings.

- Prepare bills of quantities and technical specifications based on reliable quantity takeoffs.

- Manage the administrative and financial monitoring of projects.

Revit is BIM modelling software used to create intelligent, coordinated 3D digital models integrating all the project’s technical data.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use Revit to:

- Accurately visualize projects (multi-family housing, public facilities, etc.).

- Extract information directly from the 3D model.

Excel is a powerful spreadsheet tool used to manage, analyse, and present numerical data that is essential to the management of construction projects.

As construction economists atCALYPSO, we use Excel to:

- Consolidate and analyse data from cost studies and quantity takeoffs.

- Create and customize dashboards to monitor costs and progress.

Pleiades is an energy and environmental analysis software used to assess a building’s performance throughout its life cycle.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use Pleiades to:

- Carry out comprehensive Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) in compliance with current regulations and certification frameworks (RE2020, labels, etc.).

- Compare different construction systems, material options, and technical alternatives in order to optimise the project’s carbon impact.

Power BI is a data analysis and visualisation tool that helps structure and monitor economic indicators.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use Power BI to:

- Analyse economic and financial data related to construction projects.

- Monitor changes in the various economic rates and indicators affecting the sector in order to anticipate their effects on costs.

- Create interactive dashboards to support data analysis, monitoring, and decision-making.

Batiprix is a monthly updated reference pricing database for the construction sector, providing costs for construction and renovation works.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use Batiprix to:

- Have up-to-date unit prices to improve the reliability of our estimates and cost studies.

- Monitor monthly changes in construction costs in order to incorporate market trends into our estimates.

- Compare, adjust, and structure our cost assessments in line with the realities of the sector.

Khéox is a document and regulatory platform dedicated to the construction sector, providing access to current standards, DTUs, technical rules, and regulatory updates in order to secure the design and delivery of projects.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use Khéox to:

- Verify the regulatory and normative requirements applicable to the project.

- Strengthen the reliability of our technical specifications and written documents by relying on up-to-date references.

- Improve the reliability of our studies and tender processes by ensuring that the selected solutions comply with accepted industry practice.

AutoCAD is a computer-aided drafting software used to produce, read, and work with precise 2D drawings, which are essential for analysing and understanding construction projects.

As construction economists at CALYPSO, we use AutoCAD to:

- Read and analyse technical drawings in order to accurately identify the items to be costed.

- Extract the graphical information required for quantity takeoffs and cost studies.

- Strengthen our understanding of projects by relying on clear, precise, and usable drawing documentation.
