Establishing new standards in the field of Ductwork estimating.

EST-Duct is a Windows' based Ductwork estimating program that is used to quickly prepare contract tenders and bids. The program is a complete estimating solution in it's own right, but at the same time it has been developed in conjunction with our CAM-Duct and CAD-Duct systems to enable integration of the 3 services if required. As such, it uses real fittings to generate accurate prices based on material content, workshop fabrication time and site installation time where applicable.

All 'bought out' products (round duct, grilles, dampers, etc.) are handled by a flexible price list structure with import/export facilities to many industry suppliers. The flexibility of the program enables the system to calculate prices for an infinite range of products.

Estimate entry is specification driven for speed and can be made using keyboard & mouse, or with a Digitiser.

Summary screens allow for manipulation of profit margins, overheads & item rates to produce the desired total bid price.

Surveying is included as standard to record all future modifications and amendments made to a contract.

EST-Duct enables bids to be produced more quickly, efficiently and accurately to improve your chances of securing contracts.

• Interface with CAD drafting to automatically cost drawings produced in CAD-Duct.
• Automatic manufacturing capability via CAM-Duct for pre-agreed contracts, small jobs, etc.
• Specification driven Take-Off automatically controls the selection of manufacturing details i.e. gauge, connector, seams, splitters, air turning vanes, stiffeners, support brackets…
• Uses real fittings for more accurate calculations of fabricated parts.
• Flexible parts library allows customisation of products to be quoted.
• Price lists for the products of many major industry suppliers included.
• Supplied with industry standard fabrication and installation times.
• Utilises M.A.P.'s 'Family' Database, which is shared with our CAM-Duct and CAD-Duct programs.
• Extensive range of printouts included i.e. Bill of Quantities, Schedules of Rates, Variation Reports, etc.
• Built in Report Generator enables customisation of existing printouts & creation of new reports.
• Summary screen displays detailed Estimate cost breakdown and enables price manipulations.
• Audit-Trail, tracks 'Adds and Omits' throughout the Life of the Project.
• Database saved with each Project ensuring future variations can be tracked & charged at original rate.
