What kind of estimating do you call this?
No one can deny that the building and construction industry is enjoying good times. The upside or downside (depending on your point of view) means more estimating and quotes to churn out. The building boom probably doesn't worry builders who fly by the seat of their pants, but there are those concerned about fulfilling clients' requests for quotes whilst ensuring a decent profit - which would explain the dusting off of computers and increasing interest in construction estimating software.
All singing
Excel spreadsheets are one thing, but today you can buy construction estimating software that allows you to key dimensions into drawings of what you're building using prices directly linked to a builders merchant. There's estimating software that also recommends when to order materials to meet deadlines and even suggests a couple more hours from your brickie now that the wall length has increased - well the better programmes do any way.
Construction estimating software represents huge savings in time. And since no builder can be in business simply for the love of it - there's the matter of profit. On a more basic level - instead of rough calculations that result in three trips to the builders merchants a day – you can be sure down to the last brick of your quantities - instantly reducing project costs.
User-friendly
Plus, you can break down your figures, do some analysing and plan for the future – bringing that villa in Spain rather closer. Of course computer-phobia needs to be overcome and there has to be 'buy-in' from all the team, but anyone who sits in front of their computer keying dimensions directly into a diagram that instantly gives them quantities and costs will never look back. There's very good, good and not so good options out there and it's easy to be confused by the techno-speak. The good ones will give it to you straight. First it's worth looking at the user-friendliness – how kind will the construction estimating software be to builders and the office administrator or estimator?
