Static Project Template

Project Template

  1. A project template is not very useful for generating estimates based upon quantities or dimensions (such as piping replacement).

  2. A project template usually encompasses only a few possible scenarios.


  3. A project template must be manually edited before every use (adding or deleting sections of tasks as required):
    1. time consuming
    2. requires planner to adjust project scheduling logic

  4. A project template is tied to a specific project scheduling platform.


  5. For Contractors -> A project template must be manually edited to account for regional differences in productivity or resource nomenclature.

Dynamic Estimating Module

Estimating Module

  1. A dynamic estimating module is ideal for generating estimates based upon quantities or dimensions (such as piping replacement).

  2. A dynamic estimating module encompasses almost all possible scenarios.

  3. Dynamic generation every use:
    1. fast
    2. computer generates clean project scheduling logic



  4. A dynamic estimating module is useable with a range of project scheduling platforms.

  5. For Contractors -> A dynamic estimating module easily adjusts estimates and resource definitions for regional differences in productivity or resource nomenclature.
