Access Control
Access Control Estimating Software
Access control estimating software. Count controlled openings from the drawings and build the reader, lock, REX, contact, controller and cabling BOM.
What is Access Control Estimating?
Access control is estimated per controlled opening: the reader, electrified strike or lock, request-to-exit device, door contact and the composite cable back to its controller, plus the controllers, power supplies and software the specification names. BidLark counts the door symbols on each plan, keeps every opening as a reviewable location, reads the Division 28 specification for the approved hardware, and assembles the per-door material into a priced BOM.
