Minimize Errors of Quantity at Pre-Estimation Stage
Paper-based takeoffs and disconnection in quantity tracking results in many lost items, overallocation of costs, and re-work in the estimating process. MetaConstructX creates order and visibility in quantity and cost planning, where estates are based on trusted data.
What Do You Need for Accurate Construction Takeoffs
- Task and material level quantities defined clearly
- Direct mapping between cost elements and qualities
- Automatic cost roll ups by job task and work packages
- Be consistent throughout the takeoffs to estimate
Why Conventional Construction Takeoff Processes are ineffective
Unstructured Quantity Tracking
This type of takeoff is not consistent and has no visibility of tasks and materials.
Disconnected Costs and Quantities
When the quantities are not linked to the cost elements, then estimates become inaccurate.
Limited Cost Visibility
Without automated rollups, teams find it difficult to prove up total costs in the first place.
The Major Features of Construction Takeoff Software
Progressive takeoff capabilities promoting accuracy in the quantity, cost stability, and estimating assurance.
Job Planning Lines (QCP)
Structured plan lines are used to allocate the quantities and the costs of the job tasks to the plan.
Benefits
- Well-defined task-based quantity planning
- Better cost alignment
- Reduced estimating errors
Definition of Material Expenses
Enter the quantities of materials directly on the planning lines in order to have all items accounted for and at the right price.
Benefits
- Fewer missing quantities
- Accurate material takeoffs
- Better cost forecasting
Labor Rate Library
Keep a high-profile repository of certified labor rates by position, profession or by area.
Benefits
- Consistent labor pricing
- Reduced estimation risk
- Reduced time for preparing estimates
Cost Rollups by Job Task
Add amounts and cost per job task automatically in order to view accumulated effects in real time.
Benefits
- Real‑time cost visibility
- Accurate task totals
- Stronger cost control
Quantity‑to‑Cost Mapping
The quantities of link takeoff directly pertain to cost items and eliminate continuity between takeoff and estimating.
Benefits
- No manual re‑entry
- Consistent data
- Faster estimate prep
Standardization of Takeoff Structures.
Have predefined structures that are to be applied in workflow across projects and teams.
Benefits
- Repetitive processes of takeoff
- Reduced variability
- Better collaboration
How Construction Takeoff Software Works
Define Quantities
Material and task quantities are structured and defined through lines of planning
Align Costs
Assign quantities to cost elements to price it right with right quantities.
Check Totals
Check rollups to make sure that quantities and costs are verified and then estimating.
