Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Lately, I've been developing a system for budget estimates, quotations, order processing, and cost management. (As I've mentioned before.)

If we set up a centralized management system like this, won't we lose sight of what the work actually entails?

That's what I thought, so I ended up making them one by one after all.

That's just how things have always been.

So even now, we’ve been doing it as a matter of course—drawing up budgets and getting quotes from suppliers.

 

It just occurred to me—that era is long gone, and we’re in the age of construction DX, right?

Even government cost estimates use market unit prices so that they can be calculated as simply as possible, right?

The unit price might be important from the company's perspective, but I don't really worry about it that much during construction—as long as we can manage the costs...

 

When I think about it, I get the feeling that the system I'm currently developing has nothing to do with labor rates or anything like that.

The days of spending time on estimates and operating budgets are over, and

As soon as you enter the design quantities, the cost pops right up.

There will likely be some variation in the loss rate depending on the specific site, but if we can compile statistics over a period of several years, it should be possible to consolidate the data into a single figure.

I've been using this budget tool for a few years now—all I have to do is enter the necessary details, like area, into Excel, and it calculates everything for me lol.

It takes about 5 minutes to create a budget within the legal framework.

If anything needs to be entered, it would be the unit prices from the material suppliers.

 

We're currently developing a system that makes this accessible to everyone.

If material suppliers and contractors submit their quotes using the designated form within a specified period,

We plan to make it possible to draw that up.

That way, suppliers wouldn't have to provide different quotes for each company, and it would be easier to apply different discount rates for each company when billing, right?

 

That's all for now; next week, we'll work on the cost management section.

To make cost management easier and simpler.

And, can the people on the front lines tell at a glance whether the operation is turning a profit—or not? Or if it’s understaffed?

I'd like to try to make it so that we can watch it.

 

I hope to be able to offer this as a service to everyone in the future.

If that's the case, why haven't I been making a profit until now?

Which part isn't profitable?

I think you'll understand.

This is strictly for cost management by slope construction contractors, though.

 

See you later.
