One of the most painful questions of civil engineering firms - a plenty of time, which they need to spend for clients estimating. In the majority firms the preliminary estimate preparation for customers is for free, therefore a plenty of time is unproductive. 

The program “The Estimate” has been developed to resolve this problem, to allow to work more effective with the real customer and minimizing the time between reception and contract signing. At present the developing of the specialized warehouse program, which will work in common with the estimate, is in process. This will lead to the complete facilities, usable in the majority of civil engineering firms.

The program includes following opportunities:
- The automated preparation of estimates on the basis of the given directories on civil work, their specifications and the prices, materials, mechanisms etc. by the resource method. 
- The multilevel structure of the created estimate including type of object in which types of the basic works are included. All works are itemized with volume and cost, materials, labor costs and mechanisms. 
-The automated calculation of costs based on the amount of the work according to the price-list. 
- The opportunity of very convenient reduction of a total cost of the works to the concrete sum. 
- Preparation of estimates on the basis of ready templates. 
- The opportunity of creation the estimate on the basis of available present estimate. 
- The opportunity to create the templates on each typical object. The subsequent creation of the estimate needs just simple entering of the building sizes with automatic calculation of works cost on object. 
- Calculation of the areas of premises.
-Automatic preparation of the accompanying documentation. 
- Documentation archive without restriction of time of their storage. 
-A fast finding in archive of the information on various cuts (to number of the price offer, the estimate, the client and etc). 
- The reference book, normative of labor costs from SNiP, consisting of 23500 names of building work of all directions, with specifications on performance. Now the program allows to create own quotations in the form of accounting on the basis of really used.
- The list of materials with real prices in quantity of 2000 names, labor costs in quantity of 100 names, mechanisms in quantity of 15 and 200 complex works. 
- The list of works in sequence of their carrying out. Their quantity nearby 400, from excavations up to object cleaning for final delivery. Typical variants are created for construction of private houses of the various sizes. Each of them consists of several components including all materials, labor costs and mechanisms. In the beginning of the estimate formation it is necessary to choose only works from the list to receive the full ready list of works in which it is necessary to add only amount of works, metric areas and other changing parameters. 
- The opportunity of complex works calculation (at the instruction of metric area of installation of plasterboards the program itself considers the necessary amount of screws, skeleton, film, paint and etc).
- The general forms consist list of all materials needed for the whole building. 
- The concept of the prime cost is brought. Earlier it was necessary to make 2 estimates - one for itself, another for the client. Also the documentation under accounts, entering of payments (including partial), and an opportunity of reception of the operative documentation on debtors is added. 
- Many additional service modes. 
- Each firm has their own requirements for the documentation; therefore for each client we prepare separate documentation about contracts, certificates, work orders, and etc (enters into a basis price). An opportunity to add to the program the absent necessary functions, which are useful for the customer.

Delivery conditions. 

The complete set of delivery includes installation, adjustment, adaptation under conditions of concrete firm (the documentation about contracts, certificates, work orders), training of the personnel and 1 year of support of the software. 

Cost is 6500 EEK, each additional workplace - 700 EEK (local server or network).

Cost of the program executed on technology of the client-server, with use Microsoft SQL Server - 18000 EEK, each additional workplace - 1000 EEK. Approaches for the firms maintaining more of 5 workplaces in conditions of a local network of one enterprise. 

The prices are valid for the programs realized by MS Access. 

The other possibility is to use Microsoft Access Run-Time that excludes necessity to buy an expensive Microsoft.

Into cost of the software enters: 
1. Adaptation for use at the concrete client. 
2. Installation. 
3. Adjustment. 
4. Training of the personnel to work with all complex of the software. 
5. Granting of a warranty period within one year. 
6. Support of the software within one year that includes the resolving of all problems arising at operation of the software. 

Support does not include the reparation of the problems, which are arisen because of the customer fault. After the termination of one year the support can be continued according to your desire for additional payment, more often in practice it is payment for special services.
