Fast Estimate

The costing tool that puts you in control

At the heart of the Fast Estimate tool is the Take-off and Estimating module. This comes with an extensive library that you can customise and enhance with your own information once you start using Fast Estimate.

Add your own items to thousands of industry standard rates from libraries covering industries such as architecture, construction, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical services - and more.

Also included are job templates and dim sheets that can be customised as you go. You can even insert links to drawings and specifications to enhance your bills and schedules.

Fast Estimate puts you in control, allowing you to flex your overheads and profit margins, and it comes with search, filter and sort functions that mean you can stay on top of the progress of your project.

You can issue reports in PDF or Excel format, which can be shared with your team and your clients.

All of this top-level functionality is designed to increase the accuracy of the data you need to collect and use, and the visibility of costs for you and your customers.

Fast Estimate can be scaled up to a network environment if that is required for you to deliver successful figures and projects.

Additional modules

You can get even more use from Fast Estimate by adding extra functionality with the following modules:

Subcontract enquiry and comparison module

Material enquiry and comparison module

Both of these can be purchased when you obtain your Fast Estimate licence, and enable you to:

  • Invite multiple subcontractors or suppliers to tender for specific items
  • Allocate one or more trades to each bill
  • Issue standard tender documents for completion
  • Import returned documents and compare rates
  • Award contracts based on a range of criteria

All of these can be completed from a single screen.
