Design and development of software for optimal material cost estimating on aluminum works

One of the main subsystems of any building is the one that generates surroundings, divisions and communication forms between spaces. In many kinds of buildings this is achieved with constructive elements made of aluminum, crystal sheets and other materials. For cost estimating purposes on these elem...
