“We don’t feel like we’re living in the dark ages now… Everything is neat, storage is easy, it’s more accurate. If we have any problems, we just phone up and things are rectified immediately. It’s a no brainer — I couldn’t do without it now.”
Project management and estimating was long, manual and error-prone: printing sets, hand-marking quantities, then re-typing into spreadsheets. Drawings went missing, edits took too long, and supplier price chasing ate into evenings. The team needed a faster, cleaner way to track margins as well as take off, price and produce QS-ready outputs — and a support team they could actually reach.
Environ Group switched to Ensign MEP Take-off, Estimating & Project Commander as a single digital workflow. PDF take-off replaces printing, capturing quantities on screen and storing them neatly for instant retrieval. Data flows directly into Estimating with no re-keying, producing labour-timed, professional tenders and SORs in just a few clicks. Collaboration is faster, with take-offs sent straight over from partner firms and schedules of rates edited quickly.
Contract management is seamless, allowing applications to be raised while accounting for variations, dayworks, and unfixed materials, ensuring accurate QS-ready reporting and easing cash flow concerns. UK in-house support provides quick answers by phone, with post-call fixes delivered rapidly to keep projects moving.
Environ Group achieved far quicker turnarounds and submitted more quotes than before, thanks to PDF take-offs and easy SOR edits. Files are cleaner, more accurate, and easily retrievable, eliminating messy paper bundles. With less supplier chasing and fewer late nights, the team’s overall quality of life improved, and their strong advocacy reflects the impact: “It’s a no brainer… I couldn’t do without it now.”
