Resource planning provides powerful cost data libraries, flexible resource categories, wage scales by zone, tax rates, resource management reporting including utilization, cash flow and earned value, as well as centralized resource address book information.

Resource Libraries

Historic and Live third party resource libraries enable estimating teams to establish labor, equipment, materials and over 250,000+ external unique resources for project estimates. Resource libraries provide fast, accurate forecasting, activity matching, subcontractor quoting, and multiple wage and tax costing cost data. Each cost item contains invaluable information about labor-hours, productivities, and labor designations, including regional specific data. Data is available in over 15 trade-specific unit price varieties. In addition to unit prices, data is available with over 5,800 assemblies, ideal for conceptual, budgetary, and systems estimating.

Conditional Resource Costing

Apply man hour factors to production rates to adjust for weather, geography and other job specific conditions. Account for escalation periods over time or during traditional changes within a calendar year as a result of weather, labor shortages, or other resource conditions historically associated within the annual period.

Match Resources

Identify the best combination of available resources to specific job needs on one, many, or all projects. Match Vendors, Equipment, Personnel and other resources to minimize cost, and maximize the efficiency of costly resources.

Flexible Resource Cost Categories

Take advantage of multiple resource categories to better organize and manage resources. Create pre-defined crews and assemblies - groups of resources - to employ in the estimate with a single click. View crews and assemblies as a single line item or expand to show individual resources. Assign cost codes to individual resources or entire cost items to save time creating budgets.

Utilize Master Resource Rates

Adjust resource rates on a job-by-job basis without effecting master rates. Copy job specific resources to master files, and from one job to another saving time and improving rate accuracy.

Flexible Wage Scales

Leverage multiple wage scales for each labor resource to automate the calculation of overtime and other labor costs.

Wage Zone Control

Create multiple resource rates for each wage zone or geographic area.

Tax Rate Updates

Automatically apply job specific or unique tax rates to materials rentals, supplies and unique resources. Including Geographic relationships.

Centralized Resource Address Book

Save time viewing all subs, suppliers and contacts in a master address book. Easily import contacts from the Microsoft Outlook. Track previous jobs from the same vendor or sub within the profile for historic cost information.
