Data for conceptual to detailed estimates
The CESK contains cost estimation models to estimate costs and quantities even in early design stages. Equipment models use parameters typically found on equipment lists, complemented with project and locational parameters. Through Cleopatra, CESK equipment models can be linked to your engineering system for streamlined estimating of design.
Detailed estimates are supported by the CESK’s unit rates and smart unit rate assemblies. Material Takeoffs (MTO) or Bill of Quantities (BOQ) be read and estimated by Cleopatra automatically, leveraging the power of Cleopatra’s cost estimating software to speed up your estimating process.
Empowering analytics and reporting
The CESK contains built-in analytics and reporting capabilities. By having standard breakdown structures already included, reporting your estimates has never been easier. It doesn’t matter if you develop your estimate from our unit rate library or by using the equipment cost models, it will always provide in transparency in the cost build-up. This solution ensures a unified, standardized approach to analysis and reporting, assuring consistency in terminology and standardization across all projects.
Adapting to regional variables
Our cost database stands out by providing support for both metric and imperial units of measurement. Moreover, it considers the distinctive characteristics and productivity metrics of various regions. It incorporates local labor and material costs, location factors, equipment costs, and task-specific hours.
Sourcing trustworthy data
In collaboration with esteemed partners such as Richardson Cost Database and George Fischer Piping Systems, Cleopatra ensures the reliability of its cost database. These partnerships guarantee continuous monitoring and maintenance of data quality, drawing from a wealth of project experiences worldwide. Whether leveraging our standard cost library or third-party data, you benefit from a trustworthy foundation.
