Description

CostMate is a specialized estimating software designed for residential builders in New Zealand, particularly targeting solo operators and small teams involved in renovations, such as bathrooms, decks, and extensions. It calculates labor costs using phase-specific production rates that take into account real-world site conditions like access issues, height variations, existing building constraints, and team size, moving away from a simple square-metre pricing approach. The software automatically applies BRANZ wastage percentages to material amounts, ensuring that estimates are both accurate and compliant with industry standards. Furthermore, every estimate inherently incorporates New Zealand Building Code stipulations related to external moisture, wet areas, energy efficiency, and timber framing, eliminating the need for a separate checklist. Before an estimate is forwarded to clients, a quote-checking procedure reviews the details and highlights common oversights in residential quotes. CostMate operates on a robust rules engine rather than a language model, ensuring that every quantity, wastage percentage, and code item is precise and can be traced back to its origin. It is important to note that this software does not function as a quantity surveying tool, project management system, or job scheduling application, making it distinctly tailored to the estimating needs of builders. Additionally, its design emphasizes transparency and reliability, allowing users to have confidence in the accuracy of their estimates.

Description

flexaMate offers an intuitive and cost-effective estimating tool designed specifically for Electrical Contractors. With access to a database of over 15,000 labor units, users can quickly generate accurate estimates. The platform allows for the reuse of previous quotes, facilitating faster bidding processes for similar projects. By managing both jobs and quotes in a centralized location, contractors can streamline their workflow. Users can easily add materials and lengths from an extensive library of over 15,000 items, and save contact information for regular clients. Generating Quote PDFs is as simple as a single click, with the system automatically calculating effort and costs. Additionally, users can create a personal catalog by adding custom parts and directly inputting materials, tasks, and lengths into flexaMate. The software will intelligently incorporate labor units while remembering individual pricing and discounts for materials. Users can refine their quotes, review them, and export them for printing or emailing with ease. The Quantity Take-Off process is crucial, as it includes the counting and measuring of the necessary components for a job, such as tallying light switches and measuring cable lengths to ensure accuracy and efficiency. Overall, flexaMate enhances productivity and precision in the estimating process for electrical contracting projects.
