Benchmark Estimating Review
Overall Satisfaction with Benchmark Estimating Software
Benchmark Estimating Software is exactly as the name implies, it's my staple goto for estimating purposes for my clients. I am a sole trader with my own estimating company, I used it in a large organization, with 8 other estimators, I now use it on my own. Benchmark is extremely efficient and keeps your rates and workups available for all users, thus keeping a uniform approach across all.
Pros
- Logical set-out of resources inside standard items in an Item library.
- Up to date resource rates in an easy to use resource library.
Cons
- I haven't found anything yet. Benchmark is constantly evolving and adding new processes, I believe it keeps up to date with what it's users want.
- Quickly producing an accurate estimate that's easy to follow and review.
- Easy to use - Easy to change productions or numbers of machines/resources required in an item.
- Expert Estimation and Candy
I have always found that Benchmark allows for a more rapid compilation of the estimate through the library system. It can also allow for easy duplication of an estimate for a second stage etc, using the original rates in the resources, or at a click of a button, reverting to updated resources from the library. I have found that other systems rely on a great number of spreadsheet type operations that can easily be changed in the estimate and can lead to errors if copied to another estimate.
