Description

The AEn Productivity Engine is a cloud-based tool designed for enhancing construction productivity and estimating processes, catering to professionals such as estimators, cost engineers, tendering teams, and contractors. It features a comprehensive and searchable database that encompasses various construction activities across different sectors, including civil, architectural, MEP, infrastructure, and specialized work groups. Users can easily choose an activity and its variant, set project and trade conditions, and then review detailed information such as adjusted man-hours per unit, anticipated daily production, labor costs, and reliability metrics. The platform distinguishes between fundamental productivity benchmarks and project-specific adjustment factors, enabling users to critically assess their assumptions for tendering, cost planning, labor-rate formulation, and subsequent adjustments. The activity search functionality allows users to filter through descriptions, CSI divisions, families, materials, dimensions, and activity codes, making it user-friendly and efficient. Additionally, the calculations take into account various influencing factors such as access issues, congestion levels, height variances, repetition frequency, logistics challenges, and testing requirements, ensuring a holistic approach to productivity assessment. This thorough analysis empowers users to make informed decisions that enhance project outcomes and optimize resource allocation.

Description

HeavyBid's construction estimating software allows you to create activities and bid items on the fly. You can also copy them from an estimate or a list of standard activities of work. Import bid items directly from DOT websites in order to reduce the time spent on building estimates. HCSS inputs your bid items and quantity data from external takeoff software into HeavyBid in order to produce an accurate cost estimate. HeavyBid has been used by estimators in 4,000+ companies including 44 of ENR's top 50 heavy civil contractors. Estimators can easily repeat the conditions for estimating, while estimate reviewers can easily access checklists and review instruments that make it easier to verify costs and prices.
