Version 5 supports the NRM2 Library
27th March 2013
Desktop Design : All of the features of Q-Script are available from a single desktop browser following the familiar standards of Microsoft Windows. Jobs may be created at any stage from cost planning to final account with work done at any point easily available for inclusion elsewhere within the current job or other. Each job can have its own list of sortations, bills and sections, document registry and contacts file.
Job Templates : Q-Script provides the ability to store multiple job templates allowing for the rapid creation of standard format job files to support individual client needs.
Cash Flows : At any point a cash flow report can be requested that will provide the user with charts and tables including the most up to date cost information; including the cost plan, the tendered amount, a number of cash forecasts and actual valuations. Ready comparisons can be easily made.
Cost Planning : Cost planning allows for the import and export of cost planning data, which, together with your own database of past jobs, provides easily produced and well presented reports based on accurate data.
Taking off and Billing : Users have the ability to create their own custom libraries, which can be imported and exported via spreadsheet. This capability allows for the creation and use of libraries of descriptions and rates to support individual projects or clients. Enhanced taking off features provide for the rapid copy and paste of items and the creation of a components library of ready made, and priced groups of taking off items. Integration with digitiser and CAD significantly streamlines take off.
Once take off is complete Q-Script provides a range of facilities for generating fast and accurate estimates. These range from the office price book to collection of rates from sections of previous bills. Q-Script can concentrate your entire database into a facility for collecting all rates on all jobs on your system and electronically updating them with a weighting (set by you) and an uplift per job (set by you). It then automatically applies them to like items in the current job. You may then scroll through the priced estimate, applying adjustments and new prices as required.
Bill Print Facilities : Q-Script has a fully interactive design tool to allow the user to create bill layouts including the full range of Windows fonts, line and picture graphics and other static bill page information.
Bill Export Facilities : Q-Script provides various methods of exporting finished bills. Exported bills can be written to the local disk of your system or automatically zipped and emailed to a defined contact. Q-Script supports the CITE standards and also provides two export to MS Excel formats; one for export and re import – to be used for loading in contractor’s rates with subsequent tender analysis – and one to produce a file in the format of a final bill.
Sortations : Q-Script will allow any part, or multiples of any part, of a job file to be included in ad-hoc sortations of job files. Similarly the print order can be defined in many alternative ways to support client needs. This facility is ideal for housing developments.
Valuations and Variations and Final Account : Q-Script provides for the production of spreadsheet files that allow for the creation of valuations on site. These files may then be re imported to provide fast and accurate payments documentation.
Variations are convenient to create and are linked on screen to actual valuations. Final accounts are both flexible and quick to produce and can be exported to spreadsheet to include any minor adjustments required.
