System Overview (core measuring tool)
QuickEye Estimator is totally different. With only
one to three hours invested in learning and setup,
you will gain one to two hours each day in productivity.
It has a fresh design that doesn't imitate
the others. We start out with an efficent workflow
to generate 'ready to price' Quantity Items. Then
we add two accelerators to generate this end product
as smoothly as possible, without the tool getting in
the way.
First, multiple measurements representing a single item
are summed together so that, for example, rooms that
are painted the same, do not have to be dealt with
individually.
Then there is a powerful system for saving
several aspects of a measurement, converting the units
and labeling the quantity.
This way, a single feature on
the drawing, only needs to be traced once, gives you
all the quantities you need from it, and doesn't display
excess data.
The Quantity Items produced are properly coded so that
the current prices for labor and materials may be
automatically applied without needing to pour over a
'Measurement List'.
Next, accelerator number one, the Quick-Library, is used
to provide consistancy and speed when creating items
for a particular project bid. The library entries are
quickly created from the 'Create Item' screen, already
organized and ready to use. This library is build as you
work, no long setup step is needed.
Then, after the Quick-Library is used to create the items
needed at the start of the takeoff process, accelerator
number two, the Quick-Creator is used to create and fill
the items on the different plan sheets.
The net result is that you spend very little time specifying
what the numbers mean, so you can steadily trace the
drawing until you're done, without the process getting in the
way. And, with the ability for your sales manager to quickly
review what's behind the numbers and to automatically price
the resulting quantities (if your costing system supports it),
the speed and consistancy of this system is unmatched.
As your staff train on QuickEye Estimator, you will find that
it has the features you need and not much you don't, allowing
it to be learned in just a few minutes or hours, not, days or
weeks. The time invested to learn it is small, and the
productivity gained is big.
