CostOS

Unbeatable bridge to Excel

Commenti: CostOS helps carving the estimating processes in a company. Since these are 100% internal information that circulates between users/departments, those processes are naturally characterised by Excel/email/handwritten information.
Through it's Excel interface capabilities, you are not left with a black or white decision, but you can add existing logics to the workflow, which may now be governed through CostOS. However, adding new Excel sheets or assemblies is feasable at any given time...

Aspetti positivi:

As the header indicates, the fact that the software reaches out to anybody feeling good with Excel is an absolute selling argument. Everybody uses Excel and there are thousands of more or less helpful Excel files out there: this software doesn't tell you to reprogram everything, but offers the ability to just link any cell you like from your Excell sheet to any position in the commercial software. Since we have used this functionality heavily, the question was not how to reprogram the 5000manhour Excelfile, but how to most efficiently give it a nice interview form so that it interacts with the onboard excelfile most conviniently. Also, the software has a number of interfaces at any level of detail: (interview) assembly level Excel interface BoQ Database Reports 9 different group codes implementable, extensive layout (GUI) customisations, functions implementable at different locations

Aspetti negativi:

Reports generator: a third party software with functionality and limitations bound to the provider This will apply only to users making use of the Excel exchange functionality massively: extremely high number of queries will result in a long processing time before delivering the results to the BoQ table. The extensive programming possibilities do require a very good feeling for programming: Java, SQL: information exchange between GUI, Database, internal applications like the Excel interface and/or the assemblies

Great costing and estimating software for construction

Aspetti positivi:

CostOS is one of the best costing and estimating software in the construction field and it offers many of useful and helpful features that helps users to calculate the cost of any BOQ to the smallest details. I like the use interface of CostOS it is beautiful and easy to find any option. Also, I like the way it deals with tables and data to make a data universe for your projects and estimates.

Aspetti negativi:

CostOS has a very large number of functions and details so it is not easy to learn and does not have learning material on the internet. CostOS is not a cloud based software so you need to buy a server to host the software and this will make a large increase in the cost of the software.
