The introduction of IT into the practice in 1994 has had many advantages. It has;

· increased our capacity to take on work
· generated significant time savings; which enable us to meet the rigorous time schedules often required by our clients, and save costs, thus enabling us to continue to trade profitably in the continually competitive market.
· allowed us to more effectively manage our output; enabling us more frequently to be able to quote competitive lump sum prices for work, rather than percentage fees.
· allowed us to increase our output during a period when professional and technical resources are scarce.
· allowed us to develop our services in the production of Bills of Quantities and other documents, which we are able to provide in various file formats, and which our clients are able to read into their own systems.

We anticipate that further investment in and development of our computer systems will ensure that we continue to improve our services, offer better value for money and increase our output and spread of clients.

Our current computer facilities include:

Bills of Quantities: CBOQ.
Word Processors: Microsoft Word®
Spreadsheets: Microsoft Excel®
Databases: Microsoft Access®

We supply data by e-mail, on disc or in hard copy format.

We also assist other practices in the preparation of Bills of Quantities using the Masterbill™ BQ production system.
