Construction and other companies that perform contract work need to calculate the estimate of work before starting work.
Typically, such an estimate is then included in the contract as an annex.
You can calculate the estimate in the old way: generate a technical task, manually calculate the amount of materials and their cost, the period of work and the cost of each type of work, sum it all up and get an approximate final figure. You can even use Excel for the calculation.
Or you can take a more innovative approach and use the Botman.one low-code constructor to quickly and without involving expensive developers create a calculator and estimate constructor.
In this calculator, lay the fields for entering all the numerical parameters of the project. Moreover, if you connect such a calculator via API to information systems containing information about the price of materials and work, then the calculator will not only calculate the estimate automatically, but also adjust the result in real time depending on changes in prices for materials and work.
If you place such a calculator on the site, then customers will be able to quickly calculate the cost of the order, generate terms of reference and estimates.
In addition to saving the time of your employees, such a calculator will attract customers to your site, since, first of all, when starting a project, they need tools to calculate the cost of work and materials and to compare the price of a project when changing one or another of its parameters. The calculator can be placed on the company's website, connected to the Telegram messenger and even to the Vkontakte group.
To make the estimate generated by the calculator look clearer, the Botman.one constructor allows you not only to fill out a ready-made estimate form in Word or Excel format, but also to generate charts based on the estimates obtained. These charts will allow you to compare options for estimates with different values, analyze the price change for certain items of the estimate, if such a change occurs in the course of the work.
The cost of creating an estimate calculator using Botman.one is many times lower than creating such a calculator by programmers, since the calculator in the Botman.one constructor is assembled from ready-made blocks with fields for entering information, formulas and charts. For the same reason, such a calculator is created and configured very quickly.
In the future, such an estimate calculator can be used to collect statistics on ongoing projects and to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of these projects.
