Benchmark Estimating Announces Integration With Nemetschek Vectorworks' Design Product Portfolio
A new software feature from Benchmark Estimating that integrates Benchmark Estimating Software with the complete Nemetschek Vectorworks' design product portfolio is making the integration of design and estimating processes easier for users.
- (1888PressRelease) July 17, 2012 - Benchmark Estimating, developers of Benchmark Estimating Software, have announced a new software feature that integrates their estimating system with the complete Nemetschek Vectorworks product portfolio.
This new integration allows users to produce a take-off from a 3D drawing that can then be used in the Benchmark Estimating Software.
This means that Designers and Contractors using Vectorworks Landmark or Vectorworks Design, for example, can generate a take-off from their design in the Vectorworks software and import it into Benchmark Estimating Software to generate a schedule of quantities. Once generated, the Schedule of Quantities can be used to produce a detailed and accurate quotation of the job using the powerful pricing features within Benchmark Estimating Software.
The major benefit for users of this integration is that the workflow created links the design and estimating processes together, reducing the risk of data duplication and errors when manually transferring data between systems. It also means that Designer, Estimator and/or the Contractor for the job can produce an accurate estimate for the work.
Other benefits of the solution for businesses include:
• Faster and more accurate quote generation - this can lead to productivity gains
• Consistency in estimates - a single estimating methodology can be applied regardless of who completes the quote; designer, estimator or contractor
• Central database for estimating data
• The ability to manage sub-contractors related to the Project using Benchmark Estimating Software's Subcontractor Manager
This new solution promises to integrate the design and estimating work of Designers and Contractors alike and is available directly from Benchmark Estimating and their Software Partner Network globally. For more information, please visit www.benchmarkestimating.com
