Remote Estimating
Module 1: Bluebeam Revu – Material Take-offs
Our proficiency with Bluebeam Revu significantly enhances our ability to conduct thorough document reviews and ensure that all project specifications and requirements are met with the highest level of precision.
Material Take-offs with Bluebeam:
Beams and RFI Markup Summaries:
CSV Export for Strumis Integration:
Efficient Reference Systems:
Custom Tool Set Library:
Bluebeam Revu allows for the accurate extraction of material quantities, particularly for structural steel components, streamlining the take-off process.
Module 2 – Bluebeam + Strumis + BIM Review, BIM Vision
Our expertise in leveraging Strumis for estimating materials and labour associated with structural steel projects ensures precise and efficient cost management.
Strumis:
A comprehensive platform for managing the full estimating process for steel fabrication. It handles material quantities, labor requirements, and cost analysis seamlessly, offering a central hub for the entire project workflow.
Bluebeam Revu:
Bluebeam complements Strumis by providing advanced PDF editing, markup, and collaboration features. This allows for smooth document reviews and real-time sharing, ensuring all team members and stakeholders are aligned at every step.
Remote Access via VPN:
We utilize secure VPN access to connect to clients' Strumis estimating modules, enabling us to create accurate quotes based on client-specific parameters and requirements. This remote flexibility enhances collaboration and responsiveness.
Data Import Capabilities:
Bluebeam to Strumis:
Material take-offs in CSV format from Bluebeam can be easily imported into Strumis, streamlining the process of transferring material data from design documents to cost estimates.
Tekla Models to Strumis:
We import Tekla model data into Strumis for more accurate material and quantity analysis, as long as the necessary information (e.g., marks) is available. This integration supports efficient estimation for complex steel projects, including plates, fittings, and finishes such as paint coatings.
Module 3: Advanced Structural Steel Estimating Features
Building on the capabilities established in Modules 1 & 2, Module 3 extends your estimating power with these key features:
Request for Pricing (RFP) / Request for Quotation (RFQ):
Facilitate streamlined procurement by leveraging STRUMIS’s RFQ functionality, integrating nesting data and materials directly into supplier communications.
Batch Material Updates:
Easily adjust fluctuating material costs and rates in bulk with the batch updating feature—crucial for maintaining accuracy when prices change rapidly.
Cost Code Summaries Aligned with Client Cost Centres:
Organize and categorize costs via STRUMIS’s robust cost code and cost centre functionality, enabling the creation of clear and tailored summaries for each client’s internal financial structure.
