Rates Printing on the BQ Paper
Although most of the
estimators consider the tendering process is ended on submission
of the tender or one step further winning the bid, QSM Tendering Module provides numerous
Budget Control Reports to enable the users to further make use of all the data input
during
the tendering process in Budget Control for sub-letting, purchasing and construction
on site. All the valuable cost data will be translated into different categories so as to
compare with the actual expenses on site to assist the management to monitor the costs and
profit margin of the project.
Hand on Cost Libraries One of the most valuable features of the modern computer hardware is its speed in retrieving data. The traditional way of manually flipping through the pages to dig for the record of a rate is no longer required with the QSM System. The users actually can access to any page of the thick booklets of the traditional BQ to search for a particular category of rates or even a particular rate in a flash of a second. With a well set up Cost Library Coding, the users can search for the information by heading, by trade, by element, by sub-contractors from all the job with a company. Of course, without computer this will be out of the imagination of the existing manual system.Analysis Report Most importance of all for the tendering process is the final decision making by the management on the following: - The decision by the management on all the above is dependant on what is described as the feel of the project and the market. Before, it really just depended on the feel of the management as the tender is usually prepared in extremely short time and of course there is no supporting analysis reports for such important decision making. With the QSM Tendering Module, the management can almost simultaneously receive the analysis reports for the tender just after the estimators have rushed in the final rates of a sub-contractor quotation.The most distinct feature of the QSM Tendering Module is that the management can actually put in the different combination of the mark-up allowances to different trades, elements or Bills to generate different sets of analysis report to assess the position of different assumptions of the tender so as to arrive at the most optimum result for the tender - i.e. winning a bid with a calculated risk and profit built-in. With the analysis power of the QSM Tendering Module, the management will be experienced with a totally new view point for the final decision of the tender which have never been known before.
