Summary
Estimation MEP offers estimating management functionality, including labour and productivity factoring; flexible work breakdown structures; calculation of other costs, markup and overhead; and the ability to quickly see material and labour costs under different scenarios. The new estimation solution can halve the time spent on planning As a native cloud solution, Estimation MEP offers collaboration and connected workflow capabilities, adding value and streamlining processes for greater return on investment. “Estimation MEP is perfect for us as we don’t need to install anything to get started,” said Gerard Flynn, contracts manager at Shane Mechanical Ltd, an London-based plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation services firm. “We can easily perform take-off, search for content and churn out accurate estimates quickly and are seeing that we are saving about 50% of time per estimate.” Via a live connection with Trimble’s industry-leading content provider, Luckins, Estimation MEP delivers a fully-managed item library with material pricing and labour, plus thousands of out-of-the-box assemblies.
