With Access ConQuest Estimating’s integrated valuations features, all the information a surveyor needs is available immediately.

Detailed analytical pricing, resource analysis, subcontractor and supplier quotations and comparisons are all brought forward into the valuation.

You have instant access to all the estimator's comparison sheets, trade mark-ups and more. You can use Access ConQuest Estimating’s enquiry management features to send out your own revised enquiries, and use the data you gather from this to justify any 'make or buy' decisions.

Access ConQuest Estimating allows for internal and external valuations, which can have different rates and quantities. Items can be re-measured by value, quantity and take off, or by percentage complete.

Cost value reconciliation is straightforward with Access ConQuest Estimating. The main database can be coded to match the job costing headings in your accounts and costing system, so a job will already be coded when you first pick it up. You'll have an accurate budget, broken down under cost-centre headings, to enable easy and accurate cost value reconciliation.

Budget costs are revised monthly, based on the re-measured and amended internal valuation. In simple terms, this tells you what you should have spent, while the costing system calculates what has actually been spent. Access ConQuest Estimating gives you a number of simple ways to bring this information together to generate a cost value reconciliation sheet.
