Estimating/Tendering

Products‎ > ‎

The ability to scope, define and rework information to achieve a "baseline" budget and cost plan are critical to the success of jobs in the bidding pipeline as well as jobs already won and in progress.

The CyberQube solution allows a Bill of Quantities to be simply and quickly prepared in a variety of ways and printed as a set of professional documents, making this an invaluable tool for cost plan management.

Stand-alone or integrated with the Estimating, the Tender enquiries module allows the Materials Resources and Subcontract Trades, within a job, to be sent to selected Suppliers and Subcontractors as an enquiry, and when the quotations are returned, simply enter them into a comparison and select the required prices for the Estimate.

Specific gains will accrue from:

Industry standard:

Jobs may be imported from other Estimating or Bill Production Systems via industry standard CITE Files.
Elements of the Bill created manually, copied from another Job or imported from a Standard Pricing Library.
On-screen display of the Bill of Quantities, including fonts and page-breaks that will be as printed.
Professional quality Bill of Quantities printed, with or without rates, profit, VAT or converted to another currency.
Items may be added, copied, changed or deleted anywhere within the Estimate.
Dimensions take-off may be used to record measurements, including the use of a digitiser to take measurements directly from drawings.
Rates may be directly entered or built up from Labour, Plant, Materials and Subcontract resources.
Resource prices may be adjusted globally, with the Bill Rates being automatically updated.
Full analysis of Labour, Plant, Materials and Subcontract resources, giving total quantities, rate and value for each resource by Estimate and for individual Sections.
Activities may be created and used. These elements contain quantified build-ups of resources and other activities (to any depth). Analyses of the Resources split these activities into their component Labour, Plant, Materials and Subcontract elements.
Resource analysis may be printed without rates, to form the basis of an enquiry to suppliers or sub-contractors.
Estimates may be exported to industry standard C.I.T.E format files for transfer to other Estimating packages.

Speed of use:

Any number of suppliers/Subcontractors may be added to the Enquiry from a name register or directly into the job.
Enquiries may be printed or sent by e-mail. E-mails may be in C.I.T.E, word processor or spreadsheet formats and may have attached files such as specifications etc.
Standard letters may be created within the module and attached to the enquiry. Labels can also be defined and printed for each Supplier/Subcontractor in the enquiry.
Enquiry progress may be tracked, with follow-up letters, recording of contact by telephone etc.
Quotations returning by e-mail may be imported directly into the comparison sheet without typing.
Comparisons may include general discounts, trading discounts and specified adjustments for each Subcontractor.
