Estimating with WellMagic
Estimating is easy! WellMagic is setup for maximum flexibility.
Each line item can have any number of variations based on materials or
systems. Moreover, prices for any item can be overridden. Fill in the line items and you have an instant estimate. If
you wish to offer a range, any number of estimates can be generated for
different scenarios. Show me an estimate.
For even faster estimates, set up a standard estimate and it will be ready in less than a second. With a standard estimate, all materials will be added in the quantities set in the one-time set up. Any number of standard estimates are possible so create one for different combinations of drilling depths, pumps, tanks, etc.
Customer Notes print on the estimate and work order. Use this to say something about this estimate only.
Internal notes are notes that print only on the work order, ie they are the instructions on what to do. This could be service call instructions or anything else the crew should see and the customer not.
To add a new product or to change a price, one has to only double-click in the drop-down box and add it. It's that simple.
Estimates can be either printed out to fax or mail or be emailed directly from WellMagic to the customer.
Geothermal and other multiple bore hole jobs
WellMagic has a quantity calculator (not pictured) which is especially
useful for contractors that do multiple bore holes in a single job. Basic
parameters are specified such as the diameter of the bore hole, diameter of the
casing or loop pipe, etc. Once all items are outlined, WellMagic
calculates the TOTAL amount of each material required including grout, casings,
screens, and the like. Once these parts are added, parts that are required
for each hole can be added as a group (pads, well caps, etc.) and finally
materials and/or services that are needed for the job as a whole can be added
(per diem, mobilization, etc). The estimate can then be easily fine-tuned.
Preliminary Job Costing
WellMagic is capable of conducting preliminary job costing based on the
labor rates for individuals speced for the job the cost of required operating
equipment. To do this, it is necessary only to spec parts, individuals and
equipment. This generates a report showing the total cost of labor, the
margins on each part and the operating cost of the equipment based on the time
and distance required to complete the job. The analysis accommodates
management time as well as direct on-the-job costs.
