TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
ESTIMATING
• Practical Experience
ESS’s field management has over 100 years of combined practical experience. Major projects are estimated independently by our field managers and this estimate is used as a reality check against the estimators estimate.
• Estimating Systems - Take off
​
• On-Screen Take-Off is used to measure and calculate quantities for the job. During this take off, the project is broken into areas, which are used for developing the schedule of values and assisting change orders.
​
• Job Cost Estimator is an internally designed Excel application that totals the cost for each area from the takeoff (creating the schedule of values) and adds the incidental costs and markup to create the final bid value.
PROJECT PLANNING
​
Using the overall project plan and manpower estimates by area from Job Cost. Estimator CET assigns manpower at levels that insures the project stays on track. CET’s principal, Mr. Peterson, has extensive experience leading multi million dollar, multi year, multi national development projects to successful conclusions. He is very familiar with project planning software applications and using them to best advantage.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DOCUMENTATION
• Abatement is a document and regulatory intensive trade. To insure compliance and streamline work flow, ESS developed a proprietary data base application that manages all the project documentation from bid to billing. Key documents such as air district and OSHA notifications are integrated into the system.
​
• Change Order Control: Change order requests, approvals and supporting documentation is part of the database. An approved change order generates time sheets specifically linked to the change order, greatly simplifying auditing of change order work
​
• Billing

integrated in our project management system, monthly billings are timely and understandable.
