"In the
right hands ProjectWinner is an invaluable tool. Our clients
are delighted with the fast turnaround of cost plans."
Mike Powers, Associate,
Clancy Consulting. |
| ProjectWinner's
unique knowledge-based system uses a step-by-step Q&A
process to generate accurate budget estimates based on minimal
design information, while allowing for the entry of any
known data.
A professional time-saving solution, ProjectWinner is at
its most effective at the pre-design stage, generating extremely
useful summary and elemental reports without requring detailed
specification information.
|
| Beyond the
initial estimate, changes in brief can be reacted to immediately
- the “comparison” system providing analysis of
the effect of design changes on the project cost to allow
a quick response to engineering requests. |
The “what
if?” functionality means that if a project detail
is changed, the system can re-determine all of the parameters
that are affected, allowing for immediate cost comparisons
and client budget analysis.
ProjectWinner can also be used to "firm up the brief"
in consultation with the client. This improves pre-design
client contact, enabling you to react quickly to their requests
and improve the working relationship. By providing an accurate
and reliable budget, ViXEN ProjectWinner increases user
and client confidence and reduces risk associated with inaccurate
budget estimates. |
|
| ViXEN ProjectWinner applies
industry principles and the professional expertise and knowledge
of leading experts to 21st century technology, giving you
a revolutionary business tool and a new approach to budget
estimating. |

“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.
"Sainsbury's
Heating has moved from a £1.8m to £4m turnover
company. We have targeted the D&B market, and have
grown to rely upon the ProjectWinner software for speed
and accuracy. ProjectWinner is an important part of our
D&B process and speeds delivery of budget estimates
to our clients."
Chris Sainsbury, Managing Director, Sainsbury’s
Heating Ltd.
"My background
is in mechanical engineering with some 14 years experience
in estimating. Having made the transition into electrical
contracting ProjectWinner enables me to produce electrical
budget estimates with an impressive amount of backup information
extremely quickly."
Steve Ravenscroft, Estimating Manager, Darke and
Taylor Ltd
