Some Typical Cost Scenarios

Note: These are rough cost numbers. Please contact a sales representative for an exact quote.

Scenario 1.

You are a $3 million company with 2 estimators/project managers.

* These prices are based on the current rates and maintaining loyalty customer discounts.

Assume you make a 5% profit for the year. That's $150,000 in profit per year. Assume HeavyBid increases estimating productivity by 20% since you can bid more efficiently and win more bids. That's $30,000 a year of extra profit minus $3,694 of HeavyBid costs equaling extra profit of $26,306 per year.

In addition to the extra money, your estimates are better organized and documented for managing the job and for looking back when estimating future jobs. Additionally, man hours have been saved by avoiding double entry through the automated import into your accounting package.

Scenario 2.

You are a $30 million company with 4 full-time estimators.

* These prices are based on the current rates and maintaining loyalty customer discounts.

Assume you make a 5% profit for the year. That's $1,500,000 in profit per year. Assume HeavyBid increases estimating productivity by 10% since you can bid more efficiently and win more bids. That's $150,000 a year of extra profit minus the $8,394 of HeavyBid costs equaling extra profit of $141,606 per year or a total profit of $708,000 in 5 years.

A second way of looking at ROI is that if the software could allow you go another 5 years without hiring another estimator including burden @ $80,000+ per year = $400,000 in cost savings minus the $42,000 investment for an extra profit of $358,000.
