In order to quote a tight quotation for your clients, having access to an up-to-date database of construction material and item prices will help you to complete the quotation. Accessing a database allows you to reduce the time it takes to deliver a quotation to your client, and therefore start work sooner.
Do most customers ask you for a quote overnight? Don't waste time always starting from scratch, evaluating and comparing prices from your suppliers.
Unforeseen events in construction can be of all kinds: defective material, lack of material, wrong estimated work times, unfavourable weather, transport problems... To avoid losses (differences between budgeted and real costs) it is necessary to take into account three key elements that must appear in a budget. Spending time calculating these 3 elements for each work will never be a bad investment:
Correctly estimate the material needed to complete the tasks defined by the project. Even if you have a measurement, it is important to validate it before and during the work to anticipate problems. As depending on the defined material and its exploded view, the amount of extra material to be ordered will also vary.
Estimating the execution time is important in order to be able to plan and project the execution time. The execution stages require different planning periods, as they all usually require different preparation times. Experience is one of the most important factors in being able to anticipate the situations that a team will encounter throughout the process, and thus be able to make a good approximation.
Consideration of the project site, the logistics of materials collection and equipment movement will be important. Poor measurement or coordination can lead to long delays. It is important to assess these factors in advance to avoid problems.
Time is money! Choose a good budget management programme. The construction sector has undergone a spectacular technological transformation in its processes. There are construction management and budget generation programmes on the market that will help you in your day-to-day work.
