The new cost estimate upgrade
Increase efficiencies with automatic calculations of cost and price to reduce risk from bidding to project closeout.
Save time
The spreadsheet-style cost estimate with desktop-class performance, unbreakable formulas and simultaneous calculation of both cost and price directly links to many other items throughout the course of your project. Create your estimate directly in RedTeam Flex and save time from start to finish.
Work collaboratively
Collaborate with multiple users on the cost estimate at the same time. Any changes are immediately reflected for everyone to see. Cost and price update in real time, so teams can keep moving forward on the bid process without waiting on others to complete their part.
Store all metadata
Reduce risk with the history of every update stored instantly, so everyone knows who took what action and when. This includes any interactions with vendors and potential customers during preconstruction.
Creating bid packages in RedTeam Flex
Increase efficiencies, reduce risk and enhance collaboration and communication for the back office team.
New bid packages in RedTeam Flex
Now you can create bid packages combining multiple cost codes. Vendors can submit their quote via the collaborative console for the entire bid package, parts of a bid package or multiple bid packages. Saving you and your vendors time when bidding for the work.
Advanced bid leveling functionality
Once multiple quotes are received for a particular bid package, you can view the quotes side by side in a high level of detail. Navigate through each vendor's pricing by cost code and determine if bids exclude any items. Bid packages can be broken up and awarded to multiple vendors if necessary.
Save time managing vendor quotes
With the new vendor quote step, we have drastically reduced the number of clicks required to manage vendor quotes. A clean and easy-to-navigate interface and more options to search, select, compare and award work to your vendors more user-friendly.
Coupled with the ability to create commitments directly from a bid package, or by loading a bid package into a commitment, it's now even easier and more efficient to use preconstruction in RedTeam Flex.
Key features:
- Track vendor quotes by status, RFQ date and more
- All metadata is stored in the project, including quotes, communications and more
- Vendors submit their quotes via a collaborative console. Once added to the bid package and selected as best, quotes automatically update the cost estimate
- Create commitments and vendor changes directly from bid package quotes
- Generate multiple vendor commitments from the same bid package when awarding the package to multiple vendors
Save time and reduce risk
Creating proposals in RedTeam Flex as part of your preconstruction and bidding process saves time and reduces risk throughout the project.
Create professional-looking proposals
Creating your proposals directly in RedTeam Flex allows you to automatically pull all the data entered during preconstruction into your proposal. Not only saving you valuable time, but also reducing manual work and risk for errors.
When using Construction Management proposals for the original scope and any potential changes, include reports like the Negotiated Pricing Summary and Negotiated Pricing Details reports as attachments, to establish unit prices, including details on project phases and SOV types, and win more work.
A standardized use of company-approved terms, further ensures compliance and reduces risk.
RedTeam Flex includes three standard proposal types:
- Fixed Price
- Construction Management (CM)
- Time and Materials (T&M)
Every type is configurable for every project, while maintaining standardized terms for company or divisions.
