BIM (Building information modeling) is
Good software for quantity management.
MS PROJECT and PRIMAVERA P6 are the globally accepted software by professionals.
An online alternative to this software is the ZOHO project, which also gives realistic results.
Some software is as follows:

MS project 2010
Primavera P6
Autodesk NavisWorks
Clear Estimates
On-Screen Takeoff
Sage Estimating
BIM (Building information modeling)
Candy
B2W Estimate
CostX
Autodesk Quantity takeoff
Tekla
Revit
Zoho Projects

Actually,
Some people tend to estimate rather than optimistically and some people tend to estimate rather pessimistically. This is is one of the most difficult questions to answer.
First, we have to split the whole project into requirements.
Then estimate each requirement by their level of difficulty to implement If you have a hard time deciding between any two numbers pick the bigger one.
MS Project 2010 or Building Estimation and Costing

Beside using Ms project or primavera,Using Autodesk Revit with Autodesk mavis work will help you show not only the amount of time and money needed but also the construction sequencing with the amount of time and manpower needed for the construction process.
Primavera P6

Time Estimation: Actually there are many Softwares out there in the market but the most commonly used in the Indian market are Primavera and MS project for Scheduling and estimation of time required, but the software is not limited to this two, there are many like TILOS which is used widely in Europe, it is more useful for estimation of linear projects like metro and roads.
Quantity: In most of the companies the quantity estimation is done in Excel, but there is much other software for quantity estimation, the most common are Revit and Tekla, from which you can directly model your project and take off quantities.

We can use software like Microsoft Project, Primavera or similar software to estimate the project duration. But you need to have a better understanding of the project management concepts to come across with effective time estimation.

For the estimation of the project, we need to have CAD drawings opened and simultaneously open XL program. Observe the actual dimensions in Drawing and put in the XL sheet. Feed formulas in xl sheet as per your requirement. For example, concrete values we need cubic units and plastering we need only square units. Go on collecting information from CAD and put in XL sheets.

You can use any BIM (Building Information Modelling) software for quantities take-off. this will give you very precise results. and this is also a very demanding field to work. the software you can use is Autocad, Revit, Tekla, Slack, etc these are very informative software if you need to just get an idea of the quantity, you can use Autocad only.
Ther are other software like CANDY which is dedicated to estimation and quantity survey.
Coming to Time estimation, there are many project management software that can be used for it the most popular one is MS Project, Primavera P6. If you want an online software you can use Zoho Projects.

Primavera is a Project Management Software, but it cannot be learned effectively by a fresher most of the time. Microsoft Project is also used in Project Management. It also has the same story.
The suggestion that I would give to fresher students is that they must visit a site or do some internship before you learn this software. These types of software can be learned from professionals and are costly. That is why when someone enrolls in learning this software, they should do it in a very effective and efficient manner.
