IKE 10™ Estimating

Each IKE 10 module was written specifically for it's industry. IKE knows the idiosyncrasies of each trade. Which allows the estimators to quickly and easily generate bids, and gives them a competitive edge in their respective construction markets. An estimator with these high tech, but easy to use estimating programs can produce an estimate faster, therefore, they can bid more jobs, increasing the probability of securing more work.

JIM 2002

JIM allows you to set up to four group levels of detail reporting and subtotaling. Examples of these groups could be: Floor, Zone, System, Specification, Work Type, etc. It also provides the ability to correctly set and adjust man power loading to optimize production and job scheduling. The system allows the manager to set high and low productivity thresholds that will flag them about production problems immediately, so they can take action to correct any problems or trends. JIM also has the ability to do manual and/or barcode scanning data entry. Along with the ability to do comparison analysis of multiple jobs based on up to ten different flags. These ten different flags can be used alone or in any combination to do the comparison analysis. And last but not least, the ability to see actual production on a job so you can adjust future estimated production rates.

Visual TakeOff+

Do you currently receive your plans in digital format, either on CD or electronically from the internet? Visual TakeOff+™ was designed for you. Dodge Plans™, the government and your local plan rooms are currently providing estimators with plans in electronic format either on CD-ROM or directly from the internet. Visual TakeOff+™, can read those digital plans, and allows you to view and do your takeoff right on your monitor, it's as simple as that.

TakeOff 2000+

Instead of using a scaled rule or rolling wheel device to take off data from project drawings or plans, the estimator uses a stylus. The stylus measures quantities on the drawings and inputs the data directly into an estimating program or spreadsheet. This is much faster and more accurate than old fashioned hand methods. TakeOff 2000+™ does Lineal, Square and Count measurements. It can use any imperial or metric scale (e.g. 1/8, 1/4, 3/16, 1:50, 1:100, etc.), plus it can determine the scale by measuring one known measurement. The estimator can view each step of the take-off process on the computer monitor. This helps to avoid both inadvertent data omissions and repetitions. The estimator can also color code the on screen graphical take-off. This copy of TakeOff 2000+™ is configured specifically for use with a spreadsheet program. More specifically for Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123.
