AboutCONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING SOFTWARE
Integrated
Time-Phased Estimating
4castplus Helps Streamline Estimating
With Easy Tools & Accurate Benchmarks
Integrated Project Estimating
The 4castplus construction estimating software saves time and improves estimate accuracy by enabling high-level and detailed estimates based on norms and historical benchmarks. Leverage this easy-to-use interface for the project budget and for change order budgets.
Estimate for any contract type
Streamline bid management to quickly produce estimates, proposals and quotes for fixed price, T&M, unit price and cost-plus.
Time-phased estimate and budget
4castplus estimates are natively connected to the schedule with time-phasing options so you can plan your cost, revenue and resource loading over time.
Benchmarks, Configurable Rates and Resource Libraries
Built-in cost and billing rate table management
Pre-configure rate tables and assign them hierarchically—set up flexible and granular pricing models to pinpoint accurate margins.
Historical benchmark reports
Run full benchmarks, along with single-click popup benchmarks for any item. View a wealth of historical information on the average price, location, supplier, etc.
Configurable resource databases
Built-in databases for materials, equipment, labour, services, expenses and miscellaneous. Setup standards and norms for all project estimate items.
Accurate construction estimating for successful and profitable projects
Accurate estimating for construction projects starts with the solid experience gained from historical projects, along with establishing predefined norms for rates and resources. Leverage 4castplus benchmarks and resource databases for precise rates and quantities for each activity. The estimate forms the baseline budget, which is time-phased over the duration of the project, and then continues from there as change orders are estimated throughout. 4castplus’ intuitive interface streamlines all estimating activities and provides robust reporting and quote generation. You can even import estimates or take-offs from a 3rd party system and tweak the details from there.
