Causeway Sees Contract Growth with its Estimating Software

Causeway has recently secured a number of new contracts for its Estimating software and CADMeasure solutions. The contracts, which are with The Interiors Group, ISEC Industrial Lining Contractors Ltd, Lundy Projects, JPS Estimating, Curtis Moore (Cladding Systems) Ltd, The HACS Group, Barnfield Construction Limited, Togel Contractors Ltd, C. Spencer Ltd, ME Construction Ltd, Churngold, and Galliford Try Qatar LLC, are helping the companies to manage their tendering process. In addition, many of the contracts also utilise Causeway's CADMeasure, which links perfectly with the Estimating software to streamline processes, save time and create fewer errors.

Causeway Estimating provides the ideal solution for companies looking to win more profitable work while managing costs and reducing risk. By providing a clear visibility of risk, net cost and value-engineering opportunities, accurate bids can be created fast. In addition, the information on sub-contractors and suppliers is reliable and up-to-date, reducing the risk of non-compliant or poorly qualified vendors being selected. What's more, unlike with other estimating systems, Causeway's software can be provided as part of an integrated supply chain management suite. The multi-user system is easy to use, has powerful reporting tools and can create outputs in Excel format. It also integrates perfectly with existing accounting packages.

Lundy Projects, a company that provides turnkey design, fabrication and construction services to the process and chemical engineering industry, in addition to the rail sector has recently purchased Causeway Estimating. Mike Lundy of Lundy Projects comments:

"Causeway was recommended to Lundy Projects. The company's Estimating software has provided the perfect solution to our needs. What's more, Causeway's customer service is second to none; they provided us with excellent training and I am looking forward to using the software and utilising its time-saving qualities."

Churngold Building Services Ltd has also recently implemented Causeway Estimating. CBS Managing Director Martin Lynch comments:

"When we set up Churngold Building Services Ltd - 'The Brickwork Specialists' - we were extremely keen to take on Causeway Estimating as, in the past, we were familiar with the software and confident in its capabilities. It has given us full cost control and provides an excellent handle on estimates. It is particularly good for reporting, offers final adjudication flexibility at a touch, is very user friendly and gives you all the information for management overview from tender and going forward to commercial post tender."

Construction services company, Barnfield Construction Limited, is utilising Causeway Estimating alongside Causeway CADMeasure, a multipurpose measurement tool, which provides extreme accuracy. It is ideal for all types of measurement from 3D object models to sketches.

Jonathan Nixon, Estimator at Barnfield Construction Limited comments:

"We required software that was concise. We reviewed a number of alternatives and, after meeting with Causeway and discussing our options, we found the perfect solution to match our exacting needs. The Estimating software is clear, modern and easy to use while being competitively priced. It provides all the features we require, it enables us to produce sub-contract comparisons and it links perfectly with our current accounts system. In addition, we have also purchased CADMeasure, which has further enhances our software capabilities. The software has improved accuracy significantly and links seamlessly with the estimating software, so enables us to produce valuable reports for colleagues."

Galliford Try has recently invested in Causeway software to support the overall bid management functions of their newly formed operation in Qatar. Galliford Try Qatar LLC, will focus on infrastructure projects in the public and regulated sectors. David Holdway, Bid Manager of Galliford Try Qatar, who was involved in the software selection process, says:

"We used both the estimating and CADMeasure as soon as we had the software installed. The CADMeasure software has already proved its worth on the first tender where quantities were the contractors’ responsibility - and we could immediately commence our take-off in-house and react quickly to any changes. We have found CADMeasure to be an excellent and logical addition to the estimating software from Causeway."
