“Before
we started using ProjectWinner the design brief-to-budget
estimate process could take up to 7 or 8 days. In the hands
of a competent estimator, ProjectWinner can allow the same
work to be done in 7 to 8 hours after reading the design brief.
The time saving really is that significant. It also helps
us highlight cost problem areas very quickly.”
Ted Groom, Estimating Manager, EI-WHS Ltd.
"The Clancy
Consulting Cost Planning Department uses ProjectWinner to
provide accurate Mechanical & Electrical cost plans
at project feasibility and bid analysis stages. The software
is used by experienced cost planners and engineers and in
the right hands is an invaluable tool. Using ProjectWinner,
we have accurately calculated M & E costs on a variety
of projects including leisure, residential, commercial,
industrial and healthcare in a fraction of the time using
traditional methods.
"Clancy Consulting clients
are delighted with the fast turnaround of cost plans, the
detailed breakdown, element by element, and the capacity
of the software to carry out rapid M & E changes which
gives our clients the opportunity to evaluate different
design options in a fraction of the time of traditional
methods. Switching to Vixen has enabled Clancy Consulting
to offer a more efficient professional service to the market
place."

techniques of cost planning and estimating we seek to ensure
that students are aware of a range of cost modelling tools
and are able to both use and evaluate them. ProjectWinner

industry."
