THE CADT SYSTEM

An estimate that stays with the project.

The estimate is the starting point of your management system. CADT connects quantities, cost items, purchases and progress certificates so the work you put into a bid remains useful during delivery.

WHY CADT

We understand the problem.
We connect the solution.

Scattered quantities and versions

Work with the right version.

We organise chapters, cost items, units and revisions to identify changes from bid to delivery. The team shares a common working reference.

BC3 data does not fit the target system

Make BC3 fit your process.

We review codes, hierarchies, quantities and totals. We design the mappings and validation rules for the exchange around the applications and versions you use.

WITH CADT

Design the BC3 exchange

Progress valuations require re-entry

Certify progress without rebuilding the estimate.

We link completed quantities, progress certificates, invoices and payments to the same cost items. We connect that flow with purchasing and financial control in your ERP.

HOW IT WORKS

From the first quantity takeoff to the actual cost.

We preserve the estimate structure and define how its data moves. CADT implements and adapts the process so your estimate, ERP and team work together.

FROM THE SYSTEM TO YOUR DAILY WORK

Check a BC3 estimate before transferring it to the ERP

  1. Review a sample BC3 file: chapters, work items, units, quantities and prices.
  2. Match those work items to the project and the codes used by the ERP.
  3. Compare totals and review errors before approving the data import.

Totals should match, each work item should retain its reference, and missing codes should be flagged. The connection is defined after reviewing both programs.

More about estimates · quantity takeoffs · bc3

Keep bid, changed, completed and valued work connected.

Your estimating software may hold technical detail while the ERP manages contracts and invoicing. The aim is not to duplicate everything, but to define what is exchanged and which version applies.

Shared versions and codes

We define stable identifiers for chapters, cost codes and changes. An import must show source, date and version, and never replace information without a visible check.

The review process

Site and production teams prepare the measurement; client team reviews it; administration invoices when appropriate. The system retains comments, adjustments and supporting documents.

Revenue forecast with context

Connecting completion, valuation and payment helps forecast cash flow and margin, while exposing completed work awaiting approval or invoicing.
