Din276CostEstimator

Classifies model elements into DIN 276 Kostengruppen (2nd-level, 3-digit groups), computes their real quantities, and multiplies by unit rates you enter to produce a live cost estimate. Ships with no built-in €/unit rates — construction costs vary too much by region and year to hardcode responsibly — so every rate table starts at zero; type rates directly, or import a rate sheet you've exported before. Only classifies elements with an unambiguous default mapping (or an explicit Kostengruppe parameter override); elements with no mapping simply don't appear rather than being guessed at. "Assign to elements" is the only action that writes to the model — scope selection, quantity takeoff, rate entry, import, and export all just read.

Key features

• Two-tier classification: explicit Kostengruppe parameter override checked first, built-in rule table as fallback
• Live quantity takeoff per Kostengruppe, editable unit rates, running cost total
• Import/export rate sheets as Excel so a firm's rate table travels between projects
• Assign resolved Kostengruppen back onto elements in one batch, with a skipped-element count for anything with no writable parameter
