| New web-based project estimating tool Davenport Masonry, Inc., has officially launched its new web-based project estimating tool for the masonry and construction industries. Davenport Masonry began developing the system earlier this summer, working with local web design firm, Dreamscape Multimedia, to deliver the final product. The web application allows users to submit answers to key questions regarding their masonry project and receive an estimated price based on the quality and quantity of the information provided. "This tool allows you to calculate the type of wall, the material used, and the dimensions for each wall. We ask questions about the project location, job conditions, air barriers, engineering. Most importantly, we ask for suggestions for improvement so we're able to keep this effort expanding and evolving to meet people's needs," states Greig Carnevale, Davenport Masonry, Inc., estimator. The estimating tool is entirely web-based, accessible on the Internet through any popular browser, such as Internet Explorer, Opera or Firefox, which means there is no additional software a user needs to install. Once the details about their project have been submitted, the user is presented with a summary of their results and emailed a copy for their records. Additionally, the users may return to the system at a later date at add more details or to begin a new project under their own personal profile. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
