Import the ETABS model
Start from your .e2k file so the budget stays aligned with the structural model.
ETABS .e2k → Quantities → Unit Price Analysis → Budget
Generate a budget from your ETABS model in minutes.
Import your ETABS (.e2k) model and get quantities, unit price analysis, and editable DXF drawings for AutoCAD.
Turn the model you already designed into a clearer budget workflow by connecting quantities, unit price analysis, and deliverables without rebuilding everything in separate spreadsheets.
You can also go back to the main ETABS-to-DXF workflow.Process
From ETABS model to budget in four steps.
Import the model, review quantities, and build the unit price breakdown with the cost drivers your budget needs.
Review quantities
Validate concrete, rebar, formwork, and other structural quantities before moving to cost.
Assign resources and productivity
Connect materials, labor, equipment, productivity rates, overhead, and profit to each item.
Generate budget and Unit Price Analysis
Get a clear breakdown to review, adjust, and continue with editable DXF drawings.
Unit Price Analysis
Structural budgets connected to your model
StructaCAD can also help generate Unit Price Analysis for structural elements using quantities, materials, labor, equipment, productivity rates, overhead, and profit.
One model, one budget
Use the same structural quantities to assemble a clearer unit cost view without rebuilding the scope in spreadsheets.
Included inputs
Quantities, materials, labor, equipment, productivity rates, overhead, and profit.

Who it is for
Built for estimating, engineering, and drafting teams.
StructaCAD helps the people who need a practical path from quantities to a reliable pricing breakdown, without turning the process into spreadsheet churn.
Move from quantities to an early unit cost view without rebuilding every scope manually.
Keep pricing aligned with the model and avoid disconnects between analysis output and cost planning.
Review a more transparent cost breakdown before the project enters a bidding or budgeting round.
Keep the unit price analysis tied to the same structural deliverables your team is already producing.
FAQ
Common questions before a team starts the Unit Price Analysis process.
What inputs are used for the unit price analysis?
StructaCAD can help generate unit price analysis using quantities, materials, labor, equipment, productivity rates, overhead, and profit.
Does StructaCAD replace ETABS?
No. ETABS still handles structural analysis. StructaCAD starts from the ETABS export and helps turn that data into quantities and pricing support.
Can I request a sample Unit Price Analysis?
Yes. Use the contact CTA on this page and ask for a sample Unit Price Analysis for your structural scope.
Can I keep the ETABS-to-DXF process?
Yes. The Unit Price Analysis process lives alongside the main ETABS-to-DXF path and can be used from the same StructaCAD workspace.
Final CTA
Need a pricing breakdown you can send to the team?
If your current process already produces structural quantities, StructaCAD can help turn that same output into a clearer unit price analysis.
