Your questions answered

  • What is construction estimating software?

    Construction estimating software is a centralised platform that contains several tools to help when determining a project’s costs. It helps you estimate the cost of materials, labour, and other factors when submitting a bid for a project. Moreover, the centralised nature of the system means that any changes ripple through to other aspects of the project. For example, if the material costs change, this new information is inputted into all estimating documents. 

  • How does construction estimating software work?

    Construction estimating software automates the process of calculating the total costs of a construction project. It integrates data inputs like materials costs, labour rates, and equipment fees. 

    The software applies these inputs to specific project parameters, generating detailed and accurate cost estimates. This enables contractors to assess potential expenses efficiently and manage bids more effectively, enhancing both precision and profitability in project planning.

  • What are the key benefits of using construction estimating software?

    The benefits of construction project estimating software are twofold:

    1. It saves you time and money. With everything centralised in one location, companies avoid duplicating tasks, performing complicated calculations, and generating long reports. It’s all automated within the system.
    2. It reduces confusion. Everyone can work from the same information without any risk of miscommunication. If a document changes, then the platform maintains perfect version control, letting you see when and why changes occurred. 

  • How long does it take to integrate 4PS Construct estimating software?
