EG Sigma

Easy user experience similar to Excel

With EG Sigma, you can quickly get started with your first calculation. If you're used to using spreadsheets such as Excel, EG Sigma is the next natural step along the way. EG Sigma has a flexible structure that provides an overview, and saves you time and worry on your calculations without the hassle of 'broken' formulas.

Calculations for every need

In EG Sigma, calculations and quotes can be made for all sizes of projects, all professional groups and all types of calculations, including tenders, piece work rates, estimates, successive and budget calculations and BIM/VDC. You can use Sigma for all types of projects, from the smallest tasks to construction of a vast super hospital. This is because EG Sigma structures the calculation and breaks it down to fit the project while also retaining an overview.

Examples:

• Quotes
• Subcontractor comparison
• Agreements on piece work rates
• Estimates
• Successive/three-point estimates
• 5D BIM

Price databases, lists and recycling

Price lists and building parts can be used in EG Sigma to calculate quotes more quickly and ensure consistency between calculations and projects. Price lists from suppliers are retrieved directly, in the same way as full price databases, which contain not only prices but also production times, activities and wages. Own price databases are easily created, while experience databases from e.g. Molio or Exact can be a great help when it comes to market standards or detailed price lists. Reuse parts of previous calculations easily and reliably in a new calculation or as the basis for your own price database.

Additional price databases:

• Molio
• Exact
• PM-EL

Quantities from drawings and 3D models

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

Lists for all purposes

You can use the calculation to create all the necessary lists in EG Sigma – both for the full calculation 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 calculation so that everything matches.

Examples:

• Material lists with quantities
• Agreements on piece work rates
• Activity plan with times and descriptions
• Subcontractor lists
• Project management and charts of accounts
• Bills of quantities, with descriptions
• Quality assurance and lists of key figures
• Encoding, e.g. SfB, CCS, BIM7AA, OmniClass

Contribution margins and supplements

In EG Sigma, you have a complete overview page for all the project’s additions and adjustments, such as contribution margins and add-ons for risk and fees. This page makes it possible to understand and change how supplements and contribution margins are distributed across the project. A number of integrated tools also enable you to make automatic and self-adjusting changes, so that everything is distributed as required 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 adapted 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

Extraction and cross-analysis, quality assurance and simulation

The calculation feature in EG Sigma means you can always view the content from different angles, depending on your needs and wishes. This means that useful and important information is quickly displayed, and everyone in the project can see the calculation from their perspective and with the required details.

Reports and extracts in Excel and PDF, for example, can be adapted to your own wishes.

Examples:

• Tender letters and tender lists
• Production calculation
• Material lists
• Agreements on piece work rates
• Quality assurance lists
• Key figures reports
• Classification

Printouts and reports

With just a few clicks, EG Sigma generates professional-looking printouts and reports in PDF format, ready to save, print or share with colleagues and customers. You can use them as-is or customise them to your own enterprise.

In addition to PDF printouts, it's also possible to send the calculation and lists directly to Excel, as well as other integrations. This means that the calculation can be used in countless other situations, such as ordering, planning, management and delivery.

Examples of printouts and reports:

• Tender letters and tender lists
• Production calculation
• Material lists
• Order lists
• Agreements on piece work rates
• Quality assurance lists
• Key figures reports
