| When you are looking at
Construction Bidding and Estimation Software, keep in mind that it is
not the same as industrial estimation software. Manufactures have been
using Construction Bidding and Estimation Software to not only
standardize the process but the conditions as well, using plant control.
The actual project doesn’t have this option because there are variables that are going to change from job to job so you can not standardize to a large extent. The process of construction cost estimation is crude at best because no matter how long you have been in the business, you are still going to run into the possibility of the materials changing prices, the weather may cause one too many days were the project can not be worked on, and as every contractor will tell you, a day wasted is money wasted. That is one reason why every contractor is going to have their own way of estimating a job. Even though the American society of Professional Estimators (ASPE) and American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) have standards for the process of estimations, contractors will ‘tweak’ them to fit their needs and situations. When you go shopping for Construction Bidding and Estimation Software, be sure you get all the forms you need, which can include estimating forms, time sheets and contracts along with purchase orders, lien notices and timecards. You can also find deluxe versions that will include a graphical lay out as to the progress of the job, comparing it to ideal work conditions, as well as a prediction of when the job should be done, based on performance thus far. Construction Bidding and Estimation Software will help you whether you are estimating the job or scheduling one. To run Construction Bidding and Estimation Software are going to
usually be a Windows operating system, version XP, 2000, 98 or ME along
with a Pentium III 500Mhz and 128Mb or RAM. |
