CONVERTING FROM MANUAL OR WORKSHEET SYSTEMS

Preparing accurate takeoffs requires a tremendous amount of knowledge - materials, specification, labor rates, factors. Finding people with the right skills is not easy. QuoteExpress offers an alternative. By translating the knowledge of your senior estimators into company-standard data tables, takeoff can be done by part time or entry level estimators and or project managers and your senior staff can focus on working the crucial takeoffs that will ensure winning profitable jobs and improving the bottom line. Customers using our piping and plumbing software are four times faster than manual estimators. If you spend even 10 hours a week estimating and doing change orders, QuoteExpress Piping can easily pay for itself in saved labor costs.

Many QuoteExpress users automate their input using a digitizer pen and table. QuoteExpress offers flexible input which allows you to use an electronic digitizer to automatically input precise lengths for your pipe. Learn More about Digitizers

We also now have QuoteExpress On-Screen available, which allows estimators to import a drawing and then use the mouse to do the take-off RIGHT ON THE DRAWING. Learn More about QuoteExpress On-Screen

Prepare more bids without adding staff, thanks to QuoteExpress' customizable database, pre-loaded labor tables, and time-saving entry functions. We help you improve your win rate with accurate, consistent bidding with precise control over your costs and variables.

SWITCHING FROM OTHER SYSTEMS

Many of our customers have switched from competing software systems. Why would they switch to QuoteExpress after purchasing another system? Commonly, business owners tell us that the other systems turned out to be too difficult or time-consuming for the estimators to learn in a reasonable amount of time. Who has weeks to spend learning a program? You need to buy it, install it, learn it, load it, and start bidding as quickly as possible.

ASK about receiving CREDIT from QuoteExpress for your current estimating system!

Here are some additional differences between QuoteExpress and competing estimating software systems. Be sure to ask our competition about the following:

Universal licenses After your first purchase of piping and sheet metal, all additional licenses are universal (meaning you can use one license to run either mechanical or sheet metal).

Networking Enhanced network capabilities with log-in requirements and security settings. Users aren’t locked out of the program while in database and material multiplier table.  

Database and Specifications Multiple types of hangers and depths of excavation can be built and toggled on in Takeoff. Groups and subclasses can be copied and modified. Bitmap images can be attached to any item in the database.  

Pricing Importing utility from Harrison or Allpri$er can be mapped directly into the database. Any Harrison or Allpri$er items can be added to the databasei at your request. Ability to export/import any material category to Excel for “real-time” pricing to any supplier.

Audit trail Audit trail that can be sorted by item, size, and quantity. Select multiple items in the audit trail to change sizes, quantities, and multiples. Copy or repeat any item or items in the audit trail. Quickly and easily insert a row into the audit trail.

Takeoff Assembly for generating 90 degree elbows while you take off pipe. A double touch at the end of a pipe run is the same as an Enter key. Switch to different hanger types and excavation depths on the fly. Ability to generate different hanger counts based upon pipe selected. No need to toggle hangers on or off with vertical pipe takeoff. You don’t have to take off identical runs twice with a multiple feature.

Enhanced digitizer interface Continuous method of takeoff in addition to pairs method of takeoff. Multiples can be turned on so you don't have to take off identical runs twice.

Bookmark Select any item from the database and bookmark the item for faster retrieval. Multiple bookmark categories that can be stored.

Assemblies Assembly filter so you only see assemblies that apply to the spec that you are using. Ability to take off assemblies without exiting Takeoff. Preview of assembly on screen with both audit trail and picture shown.

Job Items Preview of Job Items all on one screen. Tag a Job Item with different categories and export to a different tab in Excel.

Reporting Users can have multiple selected zones and change material types without going to each zone separately. Subtotals of zones, manufacturers, specifications for hours and materials.

Excel Interface Users can sort a job and subtotal by Spec, Zone, and Blueprint Number. Export of job items into Excel report.
