ESTI-MATE provides the power and flexibility to develop complete, accurate cost and pricing information to reduce risk and successfully win contracts. It can develop both new construction and repair/modernization project estimates, and has features that support modular construction and out-sourced subcontracting pricing options. ESTI-MATE organizes costs by work breakdown structures that can be cross-related to construction zones and product modules. Libraries are available to use standardized work packages and parametric functions that reflect actual manufacturing and construction rates. The system accommodates multiple project contracts with the ability to time-phase pricing and rates across planned construction schedules.
Perception ESTI-MATE Presentation Systems Integration: ESTI-MATE can be integrated with WORK-PAC and MAT-PAC to automate setting of production budgets and management reserves. The latter systems also can be linked to ESTI-MATE's Return Cost Module to upload actual production costs for labor and material to develop improved cost estimating data for the shipyard. The system offers links to popular design and engineering systems such as Proteus Engineering's Flagship (naval architecture and marine engineering software suite) and AutoDesk's AutoCAD to automate the cost and pricing of labor and material requirements directly from the design process. Other options generate from the estimate preliminary labor work packages and material purchasing requisitions for WORK-PAC and MAT-PAC, respectively.
