What is the role of cost estimating software in architectural planning?

Cost estimating software plays a crucial role in architectural planning as it helps architects and project managers estimate the cost of a project. This helps them gauge the feasibility of a project and ensure that it is completed within a given budget. It allows the planning of the project to be more efficient, and allows builders to identify areas of possible overspend before the work is completed. It also helps in tracking expenses, evaluating building materials and labor costs, and determining the overall cost of construction, including land purchase and any permitting fees. The use of cost estimating software is essential in architectural planning as it ensures that a project is financially viable and that it can be completed on time and within budget.
