# Auto Estimate Generator
## Business Case
### Problem Statement
Manual estimate creation challenges:
- Time-consuming quantity mapping
- Inconsistent pricing rules
- Errors in calculations
- Difficulty updating estimates
### Solution
Automated estimate generation from BIM/QTO data using configurable pricing rules and assembly mappings.

BEAM = "beam"
FOUNDATION = "foundation"
ROOF = "roof"
STAIR = "stair"
MEP = "mep"
