Effective Cost Management

image13.jpgConQuest valuations benefits from being a completely integral part of the overall system. All of the estimator’s information is immediately at the surveyors fingertips. Detailed analytical pricing, resource analysis, subcontract and supplier quotations and comparisons are all brought forward into the valuation. The surveyor has access to all of the estimators comparison sheets, trade mark ups etc and is able to utilise all of the enquiry managemet facilities to send out his own revised enquiries. The system allows for internal and external valuations which can have different rates and quantities. Items can be re-measured by value, quantity, take off or percentage complete. Items can be re-measured individually or in groups e.g. First fix joiner 50% complete. For variations the surveyor has full access to estimating and take off facilities and all of the estimator’s price libraries.

The main ConQuest resource database can be coded to match the job costing headings in your image10.jpgaccounts and costing system. This means that when a surveyor first picks up a job it will already be coded. He has an accurate budget which is broken down under cost centre headings to enable easy and accurate cost value reconciliations.  Each month the budget costs are revised based on the re-measured and amended internal valuation. In simple terms this tells him what he should have spent whilst the costing system calculates what has actually been spent. There are a number of simple and straight forward ways to bring these two sets of information together to provide a cost value reconciliation sheet.
