A lot of projects are only performed after price negotiations.
Therefore, it is necessary to create an overview of the costing as a basis for the commercial pricing.
The BFW costing module offers you the ability to make calculations on the basis of past projects for cut and bend work (prefab and braid hours).
These standards provide an additional insight other than commercial prices and allow you to estimate the risks of a project.
Previous results...
Past experiences play an important role in assessing risks of new projects.
Therefore, the costing module is a tool that allows you to record the circumstances of a project (previously known as well as circumstances recognized afterwards).
The standards form the basis for the various phases of construction.
These standards are included in the reference table and are used for every new calculation.
The standards table will differ for every company, depending on the nature of the projects (utility, housing construction, road and civil enginering) and the company's past experiences.
The example below shows a structure of processing standards for several phases.
Cost structure
The processing standards may also relate to the processing of meshes or supports. BFW makes a distinction between (welded) support racks and support beams.
These standards are usually processing standards and may be revised using revision factors.
For example:
The degree of repetition in floor reinforcement, causing a negative adjustment of the standard.
Applying lifting provisions, which require higher processing standards.
The construction conditions: work performed under a cover or in the open air.Is a construction crane available or not?
What is the shape of the beams?Are there a lot of perfect sides that need to be taken into account?
Is the material provided prefab or unprocessed?
An average standard is determined during calculation on the basis of a diameter distribution (on the basis of total task, per m3, m2, or m1).
This can then be adjusted using the correction factors, resulting in a project standard that determines the processing standard per component.
BFW generates reinforcement totals per diameter, meshes, and supports and determines the standards for various components.
Overview of pre-calculation standards
The standards for each component are the basis of the subsequent costing.
As the basement often has a larger average diameter than the superstrcture, it is important to enter the registration of hours per element in advance.
For this purpose, BFW has included a phase list with the manhour registry.
The steel fixers can use these to indicate the hours spent on certain phases.
On the basis of the costing survey, budgeted standards can be compared to the actual standards.
This overview provides an overview of the progress of the project.
