Allows You to Build a Crew Composed of Labor and/or Equipment, Specifying Hours and Production Capacities

Contract Estimating is based on the crew concept. Crews are made up of equipment and labor, and are assigned production rates dependent upon equipment load and cycle times. All costs are shown as unit and total costs.

Contract Estimating is a computerized system that standardizes the estimating process for heavy construction companies. Once you have created estimates for a particular type of job, Contract Estimating allows you store information about the resources you have used, such as labor, equipment, and production rates. You can use these resources on your next job, or alter them slightly for your current estimate.

• Allows you to build a crew composed of labor and/or equipment, specifying hours and production capacities.
• Defines labor and equipment escalation factors.
• Builds the main body of your estimate from individual resources, with separate items for each bid item, as well as indirect costs.
• Allows you to set up sub-items within any bid item.
• Successful bids are automatically set up in job costing subledger.
• Allows you to enter permanent materials, subcontractors, and other costs.
• Allows comparisons with past bids or estimates.
• Allows "What if?" cost change analysis.
• Allows you to enter competition bids, so you can perform an historical comparison

"The estimating module is crew-based. It works the way I would build the estimate manually."
