Contractors praise unique cost modelling software

ProjectWinner, a unique expert system for construction cost planning and M&E budget estimating, is revolutionising working practice and winning fans across the industry. NG Bailey, SES, Mitie Scotgate, SEC, EI-WHS, Clancy Consulting and Davis Langdon Crosher James are just a small sample of the companies recognising how this knowledgebase application can speed their cost planning and advance their customer service.

“Our clients are delighted with the fast turnaround of cost plans, the detailed BCIS breakdown and the capacity of the software to carry out rapid M & E change. The software gives them the opportunity to evaluate different design options in a fraction of the time taken using traditional methods” said Mike Power, Associate at Clancy Consulting.

ProjectWinner has been designed to allow the user to create accurate cost plans from a minimum of data. Without the need for drawings the software can ‘expertly’ infer values to compensate for unknown data at the early stage of a project. From the initial cost the user can then use the “What If?” function to assess how design changes will affect the overall cost, a single change filtering through the entire budget, altering all affected costs instantly.

“"Quantifying the extent of savings on a million pound Design & Build, we would previously have spent approximately 2-3 weeks working on an estimate. Using ProjectWinner, a competent employee can now price this same job in roughly 4-6 hours" marvelled Paul Stroud, Senior Estimator, Sainsbury Heating Ltd.
