Sumario:One of the main subsystems of any building is the one that generates surroundings, divisions and com munication forms between spaces. I n many kinds of buildings this is achieved with constructive elements made of aluminum, crystal sheets and other materials. For cost estimati ng purposes on these elements , waste factors which could vary betwe en different construction sites are carried out for each material involved. T his generates a high uncertain t y in the cost and the profit as well. The main objective fo r this research was to develop an extension on a preexistent cost estimating software (SincoWfi) for budget optimization on aluminum works . Functions and the uCalc GNCutter32x components for modeling and optimiza tion solution parameterized cut materials were used. T he recommendatio ns of the ICONIX methodology were followed in this development. It was concluded that combining different disciplines and areas of knowledge was possible to obtain an integrated cost estimate and optimize use of materials focused on developing constructive elements whose dimensions can be parameterized in 1D and 2D.
