Control for the Contractor
Performing deep quantity takeoffs during pre-construction with incomplete plans is often a poor use of time, given the changing nature of the design. True quantification efforts wait until plans and specifications are complete, which is always challenging for contractors, project owners and financiers.
How building construction companies are using LEMOS
Accessing more data earlier
Contractors and cost advisory firms offering pre-construction services use LEMOS to automate the development of construction budgets early in the design process and then integrate new information over time.
With LEMOS, real-time quantities significantly reduce or even eliminate sub and GC estimating time. This leads to better and faster budget updates and minimizes the risks associated with change management. Additionally, the model feedback feature of LEMOS promotes target-value architectural modeling, contributing to smarter design solutions and supporting the entire team’s efforts and objectives.
Quantifying design changes from schematics through bidding
LEMOS’ Powerful compare feature can be used weekly to show every design change in clear detail. If a window, beam, or finish changes by an inch, you’ll see it instantly, along with every other material in the project.
Track changes throughout the design with saved versions.
Communicate effectively by referencing specific line items with tags and comments to avoid costly misunderstandings.
Substantiate your cost updates and allowance items with hard data
Buying with confidence
Bids arrive in disparate formats and methods. Some bidders provide quantity takeoffs, others provide only lump sums. Inclusions and exclusions vary, The vague, varied, and fractured nature of the process invites risk and conflict to the project.
All bids can be checked against LEMOS material quantities. Confirming quantities helps Identify scope gaps and enables focused refinement with sub-trades.
De-risk your sub-selection process.
Re-negotiate with subs to drive better pricing.
Improve margins with fewer RFI’s and unknowns.
