CONTRACTS ADMINISTRATOR at NRG REINFORCEMENTS PTY LTD (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

NRG Reinforcements use EstimateOne for our tendering process - majority of our new projects that we are awarded contracts for are found via estimate one - they streamline the process to make it efficient and accessible for employees through all of our departments. 10/10 would recommend to others looking to upgrade their quoting process and any subcontractors in general.

Pros

  • detailed explanation of the project
  • shows projects closest to you and where your business operates
  • everything is accessible from details to contacts

Cons

  • an option to follow up on quote / receive updates via EstimateOne

Specification made Easy

Specification and Technical BDM at Stramit (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a Specification Manager and Technical Advisor I find EstimateOne excellent in sourcing new projects targeted for specification as well as accessing specifications and plans for particular projects I have been specified on as well as ones I would like to be specified on. Building great relationships with estimators from construction companies tendering on commercial projects is another bonus with EstimateOne. Overall a highly recommended tool for those in the Industry wanting to make good leeway.

Pros

  • Document access to projects on tender.
  • Easy access to tenders and all commercial projects and their status.
  • Good communication details with estimators.

Cons

  • Relevant Project Contacts as part of the standard membership not an add-on.
  • Access to all documentation as part of the requirement for tenderers to upload.

Most Important Features

  • Specification information.
  • Access to plans and specifications.
  • Building strong work relationships with estimators.

Return on Investment

  • More specifications.
  • More quotes.

Looking for new opportunities to get in front of builders and architects? Use EstimateOne.

Anne Astorino
Estimator in Sales at LETObamboo (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use EstimateOne as an opportunity to tender for doors, tabletops, toilet partitions and any other project looking for FSC or bamboo ply material that we supply. EstimateOne has a terrific search filter (speci-finder) that we can use to target a range of products sought after in commercial projects, that we can match with and therefore submit a quotation for. It can be very difficult to get in front of architects to show them our range. EstimateOne is a worthy way of substantiating what we offer against other business as usual, and monopolized offerings out there.

Pros

  • Speci-finder
  • daily updates
  • names, email addresses of the contact involved with the actual project

Most Important Features

  • Opportunities to submit quotations for new work
  • Contact details of estimators at building companies
  • That we may be recognized as a genuine supplier of quality FSC material and products

Return on Investment

  • We are hoping for a positive impact and positive ROI since Covid-19 has effectively stopped our personal engagement opportunities with builders and architects
