“It’s saved me both time and money by being a quicker, more accurate process and producing all the information I need, all in one place. With the breakdowns it produces, it gives you everything that a quantity surveyor would potentially come back to you wanting to know.”
Colbro identified that the length of time it was taking to prepare quotes was simply too long, to the point that it was becoming a problem. They needed a solution to get it done faster.
“We used to print off the drawings and do manual take-offs and measures with a scale ruler. It took too much time to do this and produce all the information needed for a quote.”
The team were soon trained on Ensign Electrical Take-off & Estimating Software and ready to go. Just a matter of weeks later, the impact had been huge.
“My company has used Ensign for three months now and I could not recommend it highly enough. Great service from all the team and a fantastic product.
I find it most useful on containment works; the speed with which you can measure runs cuts down the time I have to spend on the tender process by a few days.”
“Firstly, the people at Ensign have gone out of their way to help. On top of that, the product has helped us speed up tender processes, which is what we really needed.
It’s saved me both time and money by being a quicker, more accurate process and producing all the information I need, all in one place. With the breakdowns it produces, it gives you everything that a quantity surveyor would potentially come back to you wanting to know.
It’s money well spent, a good investment. Less time spent pricing a project gives you more time to concentrate on other aspects of your business.”
