Ensuring high levels of accuracy is essential in the construction industry, not only at the detailing and delivery phase but also the initial strategy and tender stages too. All too often, MEP contractors will sadly go out of business because of inaccurate estimating, out-of-date material pricing and poor job cost management.
Like many others, this was a challenge that Shane Mechanical London Ltd faced, a plumbing and mechanical contractor based in Crumlin, Northern Ireland, with the need to improve and streamline their internal take-off and tender process. At the core of this was the need to deliver tenders more quickly and efficiently, while also better managing their mechanical and plumbing projects costs.
As such, Shane Mechanical started looking for a digital solution that would offer the professional and efficient process they needed, while also helping them to keep up with the competition. At the top of the list was a cloud-based solution, which would help them to perform material take-off quickly, accurately and allow them to enter counts and measurements without having to change application.
It was for the above reasons that Shane Mechanical chose to try out Estimation MEP, Trimble’s new cloud-based take-off and estimating solution, with great levels of success.
The Estimation MEP difference
“Estimation MEP is perfect for us as we don’t need to install anything to get started. I can safely and securely store my drawings in the cloud and not have to worry. We can easily perform take-off, search for content and churn out accurate estimates quickly!”
