Proposed Services
Use of CostX measurement tools to extract quantities.
Unit rates applied from built in rate library or create own library to estimate cost
Agreed upon BOQ output used as contract work packages to relevant contractors
1.Take off Qtys in Software
Quantities are easily taken off from PDF or DWG drawings and linked to a workbook breakdown
2.Link Qtys to BOQ / Estimate
Linked quantities are split per trade in the workbook and can be exported per trade to create work packages and tender packages
3.Add rates to create Budget
SPONS library is installed in the software so as to link rates to the boq qtys and easily kick out a budget figure in a standard format
CostX Interface
Rate Library and Functionality
SPONS rate library already added to software for pricing purposes
Each rate has a breakdown function which shows you how the rate is built up and so editing of certain portions of the rate is made easy
In some instances, the average output per trade is inserted into the rate breakdown. This can be used for construction programming.
New rate libraries can be formulated manually using contractor priced tenders and historical data
Reports and Exports
There are various types of exports that are possible from a CostX Project
BOQ / Estimate workbook can be exported to Excel with description, quantity, rate and amount column in a standard format
Workbook quantities and rates are both live within the software allowing ease of editing and value engineering.
There are many other types of report exports that enable management post contract
