We needed to make sure we made a profit, and at the same time give our customers the right price to ensure we stood a chance of winning the job. We found that often the different quantity\u00a0surveyors\u00a0would price differently on the same job, this did not work for us as we needed consistency across the company.<\/p>\n<p>This led us to look for pricing and costing software solutions to help our company achieve\u00a0consistency, maintain profit and to be able to work collaboratively on projects in real time. After having a look at the many different options, none offered the flexibility that we needed and so we decided to write our own system.<\/p>\n<p>Three years on, our internal staff are so happy with the system we have\u00a0decided\u00a0to make it\u00a0available\u00a0for others to use to price their jobs. We have many people internally using the system and it allows everyone to make sure they are all working with the latest version of the tender and\u00a0producing\u00a0the correct quotes, company wide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We hope you enjoy the same benefits and margins that it bought to our company.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/app.easyestimate.co.nz\/auth\/register&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Start pricing now!&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.105&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||5px|&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;off&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#8eb5e0&#8243; inner_shadow=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; next_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;] Who are we ?
