Gain Granular Control Over Cost Projections

Methvin allows for seamless customization based on project specifics, material costs, and labor rates, ensuring your estimates reflect reality. The advanced variable-based estimating features let you set variables such as the distance from a quarry to the site or the depth of a trench, and use them in equations with any mathematical function for precise estimates. 

Accuracy

Quick Accurate Estimating with Linked Worksheets

Hidden behind each item in the schedule is a dynamically linked worksheet. You can drag in resources or worksheets from a master project, speeding up your estimating and improving the accuracy of your tender. Methvin also supports the use of JavaScript functions to automate first-principles estimates, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

Function

Foster Efficient Teamwork

Methvin fosters collaborative estimating, enabling project stakeholders to share information and refine estimates in real-time. This enhances teamwork and improves the overall accuracy of your estimates.

Advanced Estimating Options

Global Variables and Worksheets

The ability to utilise global variables in bill items, assemblies, complex resources and the bill quantity field, allows engineers to create unprecedented budgeting and feasibility costs or make large meaningful changes throughout your tender. In addition to the global variables we utilise the same worksheet logic for the pricing of the following elements: bill items, assemblies and complex resources, which allows for ease of copy and pasting between them. 

Estimating with Sub-Schedules

When a client provides a complex "Lump Sum Item" such as the construction of a "Bridge," Methvin allows you to convert this into a "sub-schedule item." By using the Pricing Module, any items pertaining to that sub-schedule will roll up to the client's item. Under the sub-schedule, you can add as much detail as necessary to price the item accurately. The client report will only reflect the "Lump Sum Item" as requested, ensuring clarity and precision.
