Much has been written about estimating, and we do not intend to waste your time going on about "what’s out there". Start Up or Small to Medium Established companies almost inevitably have "home grown systems", ranging from the "back of an envelope" to "indigenous spread sheet". Some may even have small "bespoke" systems, usually costing a fortune, and almost all with "recurring license fees".

Well we view this subject slightly different. The key to any successful company is the ability to make Profit, and the "Key to Profit" indisputably lies within the ability to ensure that correct margins are applied, especially when preparing any estimates.

• Irrespective how tight you can hold your Overhead Costs, failure to deliver Gross Profit…is Fatal !
• Producing an estimate is fairly straight forward, it may be time consuming, but it is not a science, and we have no doubt in your ability to determine the Net Costs, add whatever factors you normally apply, and reach a Selling Value for your bid.
• So what’s different about what we have to offer?
• The ability to Analyse YOUR estimate accurately and efficiently !
• As a first step we would like to introduce you to M.E.S.I.N.A.
• MESINA is a spread sheet based "mini estimating system" that has power, capability, information and results that you will find hard to believe.
• The "ethos" of MESINA is based on the application and analysis of the "percentage calculations" required to run a successful business.

Here at B4B UK LTD, we have a wealth of experience of the problems that small (and expanding) companies face. Amongst those challenges, one of the most difficult, is the application and understanding (analysis) of just how "applied percentages" affect YOUR business, especially when services or products vary, and/or mix.
That is why we use a facility called OVER RIDE within MESINA.

OVER RIDE (or Variable Calculator, to give it its correct name) is an ingenious tool that totally eliminates any "guesswork" when you review YOUR completed estimate. It provides YOU instantly, with highly accurate and meaningful information on all aspects of the percentages contained with YOUR Estimate or Project, and it does it in "real time", with absolute accuracy.

Take a look for yourself, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD a sample version, with the OVER RIDE FACILITY UNLOCKED to let YOU see and use this unique feature.

We also have an advanced estimating system called COST PLUS. Again the best way to show you the features on this product is simply "go take a look". COST PLUS is a much more powerful system which can (for Members) be very "cost effectively tailored"...as an example, we customised one recently for a small road haulage company for an overall price of £180.00 !

THERE ARE NO RECURRING LICENSE FEES ON ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS
