For estimators who demand more
from estimating systems,
Sage Timberline Estimating Extended Edition offers
out most comprehensive package
of cutting-edge estimating
tools. The software combines key
estimating capabilities with the
latest Microsoft Windows
technology to deliver a solution
packed with innovations to
increase efficiency.
Slash
takeoff time.
Sage Timberline Estimating
offers estimators three ways to
take off estimates in less time.
With quick takeoff, you simply
drag individual or groups of
items from the cost database
directly into the onscreen
spreadsheet. Enter dimensions,
and the software calculates all
quantities for you. Or, if you
prefer, you can use item takeoff
to work with items prior to
pulling them into the
spreadsheet.
For ultimate time-savings, Smart
Assemblies takeoff is your
tool, letting you take off all
items in a wall, door, concrete
slab or other building component
in just one step.
A takeoff order audit trail is
also included in Estimating
Extended, so you can
double-check your work at any
time.
Automate
Crew Pricing
Estimating
Extended gives you the labour
and equipment requirements
needed to complete the job and
automate all crew pricing. Crews
can be built in your database or
during takeoff.
Keep
bids and quotes within reach
The
software's subcontractor bid
grid offers a simple way to
store, analyse and select
subcontractor bids and quotes by
item. Log each subcontractors
name, bid quantity, unit price,
total bid amount and any notes
in the popup grid. Then just
"check" the bid you'd
like yo use, and the estimate
instantly calculates the item
based on your decision. What if
you change your mind? simply
check a replacement bid, and the
substitution is made instantly.
See
it all from a new angle.
With
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
codes, you can organise
estimates a variety of ways. By
project phase, Drawing detail,
Or location, Like floor1 or 2.
Just define and assign your own
WBS codes to any estimate item,
either in the database or during
takeoff. With the ability to
attach up to 12 WBS codes to
each item, your analysis and
reporting possibilities are
endless.
Not only can you work with an
estimate in any order you
choose, you can change the order
instantly using the sequencing
tabs at the bottom of the
spreadsheet.
Easily
make adjustments.
Whether
it's during analysis or at the
last minute, making adjustments
to an estimate is a snap in
Estimating Extended. The
software's adjust column feature
lets you revise all, or a
portion of, the quantities,
amounts and prices contained
within a column at once. By a
percentage; by multiplying or
dividing an amount; by replacing
an amount; or by spreading an
amount proportionally over the
selection.
On bid day, when time is
everything, adjustments can be
easily made through Estimating
Extended's totals page. Log
last-minute cuts& adds that
affect many estimate areas once
in the cuts & adds log to
have the software automatically
generate the change throughout the spreadsheet. Or use the
adjust job totals feature to
match a predefined job total or
cost per unit, or to play with
the final number.
Go
global.
Estimating
Extended makes it easy for you
to take off an estimate in one
system of measurement and
deliver it in another. Estimates
can automatically be converted
from Imperial units to Metric
units or vice versa.
Present
your work with flair.
With
so much riding on it, it's
critical that the work you
produce for clients and upper
management be professional
looking and easy to understand.
Estimating Extended reports are
just that, with the ability to
include different type fonts and
sizes, bolding, italics and
colours, You can create custom
headers and footers, including
graphics, and use WYSIWYG (what
you see is what you get)
reporting to quickly strip, add
to and track an estimate just
the way you want.
Estimating Extended also
delivers a number of advanced
reports to help in estimate
analysis. Print the cost
variance report to quickly see
where costs and quantities have
varied between two similar
projects. Or view the cost
comparison report to zero in on
where unit costs have changed
between conceptual, interim and
final estimates on a project.
