EES

Engineering Estimating System for the engineering sector, particularly within the Water Industry.

CSSP have been providing cost control software to the Water Industry for over 15 years, starting with ICEPAC the pre-contract BoQ and post contract administration system, produced in joint venture with Thomas Telford Limited, the commercial arm of the I.C.E, then with ICEMATE our general civils estimating system and now EES, the new engineering estimating system specifically configured for use within the water industry.

EES was originally produced to meet a specification produced by one of the largest water authorities, but has now been adopted by other authorities, which have also contributed valuable functionality.

Today's need to produce quick accurate estimates based upon reliable data, using known statistical formulae and reliable risk assessment make EES an essential tool for your estimating team.

How can EES help your Organisation

  • Improved quality of estimating at all levels
  • Fast retrieval of project costs, unit rates or resource costs
  • Data captured electronically from previous estimates or BoQs
  • Easy revisions, spreading and adjustments to estimates
  • Industry accepted, or user defined risk modelling
  • Standard, user defined or TR61 statistical analysis
  • Consistency of descriptions and pricing
  • Electronic indexing and updating
  • Enhanced reporting and exporting to ODBC / data warehouse
  • Standard and graphical reports, including to OFWAT requirements
  • Depreciation and tax analysis

Functionality

  • Database of elemental costs from previous projects
  • Unit price databases
  • Early stage project estimates based upon previous projects
  • Early stage part level estimating
  • Elemental and sub-elemental estimating
  • Statistical analysis of previous project costs including TR61, indexing, uplifting and spreading of costs
  • Risk analysis including links to 3rd party risk software
  • Measured estimates / approximate bills of quantities
  • Optional labour, plant and materials resourcing
  • Production of reports to users or OFWAT requirements, including graphs and cost modelling
  • Cost model graphing User defined data labelling, such as size/type of project, location, type of work, form of contract etc.
  • Exporting to ODBC / data warehouse / 3rd party software
  • User defined depreciation and tax codes, giving asset expenditure reporting

Estimating Stages

  • Feasibility estimating
  • Project level estimating
  • Part level estimating
  • Elemental level estimating
  • Sub elemental level estimating
  • Measured estimates
  • Unit rate pricing
  • Resource level pricing

Elemental Cost Analysis

Elemental costs can be analysed from previous projects using appropriate ‘yardsticks’ or ‘cost drivers’. These analysed costs can then be used, inflated, and adjusted using statistical formulae, to produce accurate cost forecasts.

Multiple ‘cost drivers’ can be employed, so, for example a pipeline project can use cost drivers of mL/day, or diameter, or indeed length.

When producing a new cost forecast or estimate, the user selects the appropriate previous projects by  user defined criteria. The data can the be used at ANY LEVEL (i.e. project cost/part cost/elemental costs) to procure an estimate at the level of information available on the new project.

All previous project costs are adjusted as appropriate and presented to the user in clear concise format.
