Building projects require multiple estimates to be created during the life of a project. The projects require separate estimates for Design and Construction activities.

When the Project is first conceived, Conceptual Estimates are prepared based on space and use requirements only. The Chief Estimator Software allows users to import and prorate unit costs based on project size from a library of unit rates or directly from previous estimates in order to prepare conceptual estimates. As the project evolves, the conceptual bid can be replaced with detailed estimates or proposals from subcontractors and suppliers.

Utilizing the Bid Closing Module building contractors can compare and award Subcontract Packages.

Users familiar with BIM technology can link their building Work Breakdown Structure to their model objects and parameters in order to populate the estimate automatically.

Our software is designed to import costs data from some of the top cost data providers in the industry. The Building Construction data includes the following;

• Building Concrete and Masonry
• Structural Steel and Miscellaneous Metals
• Carpentry and Millwork
• Thermal and Misture Protection
• Doors and Windows
• Interior Finishes and Specialties
• Fire Suppression and Plumbing
• Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning
• Intergrated Automation
• Electrical and Communications
• Electronic Safety and Security
