Trimble Accubid Classic Estimating

Trimble Accubid Classic is electrical estimating software helps out complete construction workflow.

The expertises of this software are

• Electrical estimating to purchasing.
• Project management and billing.
• Installed as a client solution only, Trimble Accubid Classic is powered by a comprehensive material database with over 33,000 items and 9,500 assemblies--flexible enough for any sized project.

In today's coordinated BIM environment, it is essential that contractors find ways to effortlessly translate data from one task to another and reduce data re-entry. Electrical estimating data used to develop bids should become the foundation for the rest of the construction workflow.

That is the power of Trimble Accubid Classic, the original full-featured electrical estimating software system intended especially for electrical contractors.

Create estimates from a complete database that includes over 33,000 items and 9,500 assemblies that let you create custom project-specific assemblies on-the-fly. Each item includes labor units, labor factors, labor tracking codes and cost codes.

Use Trimble Accubid Classic’s powerful, flexible tools to drive data from purchasing and change order management, to project management, billing, and accounting without additional data entry.

Trimble Accubid Classic is best suited for contractors bidding on medium to large commercial, industrial, institutional, manufacturing, treatment plants, or multi-unit residential projects.

Some features:-

• Proven Material Database: Each verions of the Trimble Accubid Classic Electrical Estimating program comes with a comprehensive material database priced and ready to use. You can hit the ground running with labor units, labor factoring, labor tracking and cost codes built right into the program.

• Dynamic Takeoffs: Easily create custom, project specific assemblies on-the-fly allowing Trimble Accubid Classic to meet the needs of your unique projects. The built-in dynamic takeoff capability automatically calculates the required quantities for each component in an assembly based on length or count specifications.

• Live Extension: Accubid's Live Extension instantly calculates each takeoff as it occurs. With a single click, you can jump from the audit trail to the extended bill of materials. From the Live Extension, you can sort the bill of materials by system, area, drawing, phase, bid item, labor factor, sort codes, unit price, and/or item in any order to perform reasonable checks. You can make last minute changes to quantity, material, and labor, and your changes are immediately reflected in the final price.

Multi-Level Breakdowns: Applying takeoff breakdowns in a multi-dimensional format, allows users to view subtotals across breakdowns in any order. With complete flexibility and control, you can easily re-sort the extension and breakdown the bid by any combination of breakdowns.

How to get rid of bleeding in concrete - Some useful tips

Bleeding is also termed as water gain in concrete. The water leakage in concrete is a serious issue and it happens because of low specific gravity of water. The leakage water is preserved at the top surface of concrete. Bleeding is generally happened in poor proportioned, inappropriately mix and extremely wet concrete. In low depth members like slab and road pavement, surplus bleeding arises throughout scorching weather concreting.

It also happens that along with water some quantity of cement also emerges out of concrete to the surface. The development of cement paste is recognized as laitance. Laitance makes feeble surface over consolidated concrete member below and shrinks bond concerning new and concrete. It is occurred while casting of column starters over the slab. Laitance should be taken out by chipping of the skinny paste prior to initiate next layer of concrete.

Water emerging from the top throughout bleeding, creates continuous channels within the concrete. Concrete turns to be leaky because of these continuous channels.

How to get rid of bleeding in concrete?

• Applying air entraining agents.
• Employing delicately segregated pozzolanic materials.
• By means of accurately proportion, and identical assimilation of concrete.

How to obtain the percentage of bleeding in concrete

Take the container having fairly accurate 10 lit capability and containing inner diameter of 250 mm and height about 280 mm. Load the container with brand new concrete in five layers (50 mm depth). Each layer must be tamped with tamping rod.

Work out the weight of concrete sample.

weight of concrete = (weight of container filled with concrete – weight of empty container.

Getting the total water content in 1 m3 of concrete (apply mix design data), quantity of water in container is estimated.

The container is positioned on level surface with any vibration and wrap it by lid (keep temperature approx 27 degree +/- 2 degree). Water amassed at the top throughout bleeding is drained by pipette at 10 mins intermission for the first 40 mins and 30 mins subsequently unless and until bleeding controlled.

Collect the water drained through pipette in jar and compute the volume.

% of bleeding = (volume of drawn water / volume of water in concrete sample) X 100

How to Create Excel Project Cost Estimator Template for Project Management

We generally prepare the project cost estimator and after the project imitation for requirement gathering.

It is important to both the development team and client to estimate the effort and cost to mange the project based on the budget. This will help to understand the different phases of project development and how much is costing the each phase.

The initial project plan will discuss about project responsibility and time line to deliver the each module of the project. But the cost estimator will explain how much time we spend in each phase and how much it costs to the client.
