Estimating that does not stop at the quote.
Most construction estimating software stops when the quote goes out. In BlueArc the quote is connected to the job: you build it fast, send it the same day it is asked for, and when it is accepted it becomes the budget the job is measured against.
What happens once the quote is accepted.
From that moment the live cost position compares committed and actual costs against what you quoted. As costs land against the job the position moves with them, and a job that is drifting is flagged while there is still time to act rather than discovered at the final claim.
What this is not.
It is not takeoff or measurement software. There is no plan measurement, no bill of quantities import, no supplier price book and no tender portal. If you need drawings measured, this is not that tool.
What it does is stop your quote and your job costs living in two different places, so the number you priced and the number you are running at are the same conversation.
From quote to matched bill.
Supplier bills are matched against the order and what was actually received. Where the three agree the bill is clean; where they do not it is flagged before anyone pays it. A person signs off, and the money never moves without a human decision.
Honest answers.
Does BlueArc do takeoff or measure drawings?
No. There is no plan measurement and no bill of quantities import. Quoting here is about speed and about the quote becoming the budget, not about measuring plans.
What happens to the quote once it is accepted?
It becomes the budget the job is measured against, and the live cost position tracks committed and actual costs against it from that point.
Can I tell whether a job is drifting before it finishes?
Yes. The position against budget moves as costs land, and a job that is drifting is flagged rather than discovered at the final claim.
