Winning the next big job can be a time for celebration, or it can keep you up at night worrying about what you missed and why you were the low bidder. Whether you're a contractor working on a lump sum bid or a general contractor managing unit price contracts, understanding the unit quantities for all volumes, lengths, areas, and counts is the cornerstone of winning profitable work and avoiding costly mistakes.
AGTEK solutions were created specifically to provide fast, accurate, and complete quantity takeoffs of all materials, in all phases, and for all disciplines of a given heavy construction project, including paving, pipe, and earthworks. The solutions are adept at different types of projects including residential, commercial, industrial, road, and highway, as well as many more specialty projects for public and private work.

The process starts with identifying the existing conditions and the proposed design. The data may come in the form of a digital PDF or a variety of CAD files, but it is rarely optimized for how the contractor will build the project. To understand these important details the contractor must extract all the material quantities and over-excavation required to get to the subgrade, identify the pipe and underground utilities required, and determine the amount of stripping needed. It is then possible to extract the correct unit quantities to complete the project broken down into trade-specific deliverables and phases of construction. Doing this fast and effectively is at the core of the AGTEK portfolio.
Once the baseline quantities are understood, a range of simple value engineering tools are available to create bid alternates representing a more effective way to complete the project. Understanding these alternative scenarios can result in massive savings for the owner and the contractor. Rich 3D graphical representation allows users to visualize the construction process in 3D ensuring no mistakes are made. Documentation is made available for internal collaboration on the best construction process, and for external communication to create professional bid submissions
AGTEK Solutions alone will not win you the bid, but they can provide peace of mind that you understand all the unit quantities required to complete a project and value engineering tools to allow you to be more competitive than other bidders.
