OVERVIEW
Why do I need an Estimating System
ProEstimate-HEAVY is a program
specifically designed for heavy/highway contractors and
subcontractors to assist in the preparation of a bid. This
program substantially reduces the amount of time necessary
to prepare an estimate and increases the amount of
information available to both the estimator and management
ten-fold. This program will help the estimator prepare a
more accurate proposal. The need to prepare an estimate by
hand or by using a spreadsheet program becomes obsolete.
The amount of information received from the program is
proportionate to the amount of information entered. You
can bid your work with as little or as much detail as you
desire. ProEstimate - HEAVY contains multiple levels of
options which provide varying levels of detail. At every
level, the program has been designed to be easy to learn
and use.
From our software's conception as an
in-house estimating system for Oman Construction Company
we have understood the specific needs of a contractor. The
estimating techniques used in the program are long proven
and used throughout the industry. During the last 10+
years of product development, our focal point has been to
provide advanced computer solutions to the construction
industry through listening to our clients and providing
them the support we are now known for.
This introduction includes an overview
of ProEstimate-HEAVY, highlighting some of the more
important features of the program. Much more information
is available on individual topics if so desired.

a State-supplied bid disk, spreadsheet file or Expedite
file into ProEstimate-HEAVY. " Save existing
resources into the crew database. One of the most powerful
features of ProEstimate-HEAVY is the ability to create
crews and save them in a database. A crew can contain
default production rates, labor, equipment, material,
subs, and other costs; it can also contain hauling,
blasting and trenching work sheets. Crews DO NOT have to
be created prior to loading them as a task. " Create
a master project enabling you to import all the required
resources for a specific pay item. Your estimate can be
ready for review within seconds of loading the Pay Items
from your electronic file. " Copy or duplicate tasks
within a pay item.

STANDARDIZATION
|

All of your estimators can be working from one
standardized set of databases. The databases include:
Labor Rate Databases, Equipment Rate Database, Material,
Asphalt and Concrete Mix Database and Contractor Database.
" You can create "pricing sheets" within an
estimate that allow you to track and analyze subcontractor
and supplier quotes. " You can have Pay Item
databases for each state DOT (or any bidding authority
such as COE or municipality), as well as maintain plug
prices for each pay items, which can then be used to
generate quick plug estimates to determine job size and
work mix. Average prices can also be loaded for each pay
item from our BidTabs Professional program. " A
Security database is provided to restrict access to all,
or part, of the program. The Security database is setup by
user name allowing for different security settings for
different users. This option is used to protect your
sensitive data. " Flexible mark-up system allows the
estimator to use percentages or to enter mark-up for
individual pay items or for the entire job. " A
comprehensive project-indirects system allows you to enter
project related overhead items and spread those costs into
the bid. " Print a large variety of different reports
that provide varying amounts of information on an
estimate. A brief list of the available reports:
spreadsheet- style reports, bid reports, labor and
equipment utilization, balance reports, profit analysis
report, sub/supplier/minority reports, material
requirements, task detail, custom quote sheets, and many
more. We also have the ability to easily design custom
reports if you require. |
