Calculation

Estimation for all projects

Estimation for all projects

In EG Sigma, estimates can be made for all sizes of projects, all kinds of disciplines and all types of estimates, including tenders, fixed rate work, three point risk estimates, BIM 3D-model estimates, budgets and more. As such you can use EG Sigma for all types of projects, from the smallest jobs to huge buildings and infrastructure projects. This is because EG Sigma structures the estimate to fit its break-down-structure perfectly for each project and hereby create a clear overview and way to work with the estimate.

Examples:

  • Tenders and quotes
  • Subcontractor comparison
  • Agreements on piece work rates
  • Estimates
  • Risk three-point estimates
  • 3D-5D BIM estimates

Prices

Cost databases, lists and recycling

Cost databases, lists and recycling

Price lists and building parts can be used in EG Sigma to estimate more quickly and ensure consistency between projects. Price lists from suppliers are retrieved directly, in the same way as full cost databases, which contain not only prices but also production times, activities and wages. Historical cost databases are easily created, while 3rd party cost databases from e.g. Molio or Exact can be a great help when it comes to market standards or detailed price lists. Parts of previous estimates can easily be reused in new estimates or as the basis for your own historical cost database.

Additional price databases:

  • Molio
  • Exact
  • PM-EL

Quantities from drawings and 3D models

Quantities from drawings and 3D models

In EG Sigma, you can get quantities from drawings and 3D models/BIM of all types – either directly via a live link to programs such as Autodesk Revit and Planswift, or via files from Bluebeam, Geometra and Excel spreadsheets. Live link connects quantities and estimate so that they are coherent and updated simultaneously. This saves a lot of time and errors when changes are made to drawings or models.

Lists for all purposes

Lists for all purposes

Lists for all purposes

You can use the estimate to create all the necessary lists in EG Sigma – both for the full estimate or selected parts, and adapt it to what you'd like to see. What's more, any last-minute changes can be made directly in the lists and automatically updated back into the estimate.

Examples:

  • Material lists with quantities
  • Activity plan with durations and descriptions
  • Subcontractor reports
  • Key figures report
  • Project management and budget plans
  • Bill of quantities
  • QA list
  • Classification, e.g. SfB, CCS, BIM7AA, OmniClass

Contribution margins and supplements

Contribution margins and supplements

Contribution margins and supplements

In EG Sigma, you have a complete overview for all the project’s supplements and adjustments, such as contribution margins and add-ons for risk and fees. A number of integrated tools also enable you to make automatic and self-adjusting changes, so that everything is distributed automatically and continues to balance correctly.

In addition to the overview page, the key figure page and template front pages provide an overview of selected key figures, which can be customized as required.

Example of supplements and adjustments:

  • Salary, materials, etc. percentage supplement
  • Discount percentage supplement
  • Fee supplement
  • Risk add-on (successive)
  • Manual reassignment
  • Automatic redistribution

Validation and Bookmarks

Validation and Bookmarks

Validation and Bookmarks

EG Sigma has built-in formulas so that the estimates are always correct – no matter how much you move around or copy something from a previous project. An automatic validation also checks the estimate regularly for omissions and possible errors in its content, so that there is always peace of mind in the project’s figures and basis.

You can also use bookmarks to mark parts of the estimate so that they are easy to find again and attach relevant comments. This is especially useful when multiple estimators or project managers are involved in review or clarification.

Examples:

  • Tender listings
  • Production estimates
  • Material lists
  • Quality Assurance check lists
  • Key figures reports

Collaboration and sharing of insights

EG Sigma works in the same way as Microsoft Office does using files – an estimate is stored  a file. This makes it easy to collaborate and share projects and cost databases via email or file storage, such as Onedrive, Dropbox, Teams, Sharepoint, BIM 360 etc. Depending on your needs, the estimate can be saved and shared in the cloud or locally, while you have complete control of security.

Examples:

  • Onedrive
  • Dropbox
  • GoogleDocs
  • Teams

  • Search in EPD data from Danish and European databases
  • Search in generic CO2 values from BR18 legislation
  • Creation of own CO2 libraries to ensure that all knowledge is reused
  • Analysis and simulation of scenarios for the project’s environmental and economic performance
  • Automatically generated documentation for submission
