Managing pricing libraries can be time consuming and often involves meticulous attention to detail, constant updates, and the need to ensure accuracy across various projects. This process can become even more complex when dealing with large volumes of data, multiple resource types, and the necessity to integrate new information regularly.
CausewayOne Estimating is a modern, cloud-based software that streamlines bidding and tendering, enabling estimators to create faster, more accurate, and more profitable project bids. With CausewayOne Estimating’s Library Maintenance feature, estimators can streamline their processes and keep their resource libraries up to date effortlessly. Watch the video to see how Library Maintenance can benefit your estimating process or explore how the CausewayOne Estimating Comparisons tool can save you even more time.
Here's four ways this powerful tool can streamline your estimating process:
1. Maximum Efficiency
With its intuitive and user-friendly database navigation, you can effortlessly drill down to view the detailed build-up of any rate, simply click on an item to access its details. You can also drag and drop new resource items directly from the resource library, making library management quick and efficient.
2. Optimise Resource Planning
Managing complex activities becomes seamless with the ability to combine multiple resources. Whether it’s grouping various labour types to ensure the right skills are allocated to the right tasks, or adding essential equipment and fuel to your resource pool, you can optimise resource planning for any project.
3. Always Accurate
No need to worry about keeping track of outdated information. When you adjust the rate of a resource, it automatically updates the library rates, ensuring the new rate is applied the next time the resource is used, keeping your estimates consistently accurate. This means that any changes you make, whether it's adjusting the cost of materials, updating labour rates, or incorporating new data, are instantly reflected throughout your library line items. This automatic synchronisation eliminates the risk of discrepancies and errors that can arise from manual updates, providing you with peace of mind and confidence that your estimates are based on the most current and reliable information available.
4. Unmatched Intelligence
Enhance your resources by integrating important data such as waste information, carbon values, and other environmental impact metrics. This comprehensive approach not only adds an extra layer of intelligence to your estimates but also allows you to consider sustainability factors, regulatory compliance, and potential cost savings from waste reduction. By incorporating these critical data points, you can make more informed decisions that align with both financial and environmental goals, ultimately leading to more responsible and efficient project management.
CausewayOne Estimating's Library Maintenance feature not only saves time but also ensures greater visibility and accuracy, keeping your pricing libraries and resource planning fully optimised.
