FORMULATOR – Project Quantity Estimator

Quantity Estimation involves a lot of cumbersome calculations using various formulae. The use of calculators and Spreadsheets (like MS-Excel) for Quantity Estimation is a widely accepted practice. These methods require a lot of back breaking tedious work involving Linking of cells in Spreadsheet. It is now possible to reduce all these hassles by using the FORMULATOR, revolutionary new Quantity Estimation software developed by ENSOFT. The scope of the FORMULATOR is not just restricted to civil engineering projects but it also extends into other avenues such as mechanical, chemical and even electrical engineering projects.

In FORMULATOR, a project is defined in terms of its objects. These objects may be located at different locations in different numbers. Project working drawings can have multiple objects. Object involves different items of work such as Concrete, Brickwork, and Plaster etc. These items of work involve materials, machinery, labors, overheads and taxes (which is part of Rate Analysis), that make up an Object. Each of these items of work has to be quantified individually using formulae.

FORMULATOR uses a new approach in entering formulae for calculating quantities of various items of work for an object. These formulae are completely USER DEFINED in terms of the variables used in them. These variables can be used in any other formula of the same object. Variables common to different objects can be defined as Common Variables. This offers flexibility and simplicity in defining long and complex formulae used to calculate quantities.

The FORMULATOR package is very user–friendly and requires minimal amount of training for a new user. This saves time taken to train existing and newly recruited Quantity Surveyors. The FORMULATOR avoids the monotonous and repetitive calculations.

The FORMULATOR is especially useful when the quantum of work is large and of a repetitive nature.
