The main objective of this exercise is to create a comprehensive report covering all aspects of the project. It is essential to accurately identify each construction element that could generate an expenditure.
We adopt a simple methodology, illustrated in the Project Hierarchy graphic on the next slide.
Here's an overview of our approach.
To optimize your project management, consider creating several separate estimates.
For example, dividing the project into Phase 1 and Phase 2 from the outset will simplify your schedule planning.
This approach allows for better coordination of work, whether it's carried out sequentially or in parallel.
Each Estimate will then be broken down into Construction Elements.
We will use the term Element to refer to a construction element that, according to the user, deserves to be analyzed or displayed separately (e.g., framing, patio door, interior doors, electricity, plumbing, etc.).
The term “Component” refers to all expenses related to an Element (labor costs, material costs, professional services, tool rentals, etc.).
The "Structure Base" Tool
Transform your plans into accurate estimates with the "Structure Base" tool.
By simply entering a few details into the form fields, the tool automatically generates a comprehensive grid that includes:
Quantities of framing materials: Studs, joists, etc.
Detailed surfaces: Walls, floors, ceilings.
Essential measurements to guide every step of your estimation.
This tool provides a clear and structured overview of your material needs, streamlining your estimation process quickly and efficiently.
Get a clear and precise overview of all the framing materials you need with the Result Table - Structure Base.
This table supports you at every stage of your project.
Adding Products & Data Synchronization
Simplify your estimation process by easily adding a material or product to an element, while automatically synchronizing merchant data (price, description, product number).
Optimized Classification:
Boxes 1 to 4 allow you to categorize products for efficient sorting.
Boxes 5 and 10 retrieve merchant information for the selected product using the Synchronize function.
Streamlined Synchronization with Home Depot:
To simplify your process, we exclusively synchronize products from Home Depot. Why?
Enjoy real-time updates on prices and descriptions, ensuring accurate and up-to-date estimates throughout your entire project.
Create customized reports that include only the relevant information for your audience, whether it’s a client, a financial advisor, or yourself.
