Actual Cost Advantages
Actual Ductwork Material Costs and Install Times
Traditional ductwork estimating is one of the most inefficient and costly processes in development and construction.
In a typical commercial project, tens of thousands of dollars are bled away through error, inefficiency, double data entry, triplicated efforts, and communication issues in the ductwork acquisition process.
At the heart of the problem is the nature of ductwork itself. Where most construction elements easily evaluated in standard terms — such as lighting systems, doors and frames, glass panels, even the concrete and steel of basic construction, ductwork is a different animal.
- Ductwork has three commonly used purchasing units: theoretical nominal, theoretical minimum, and actual weight. Each unique situation determines the best way to go, and the cost difference in choosing the wrong option can be 25% or more.
- Duct Estimating often goes through multiple hands, from the General Contractor and HVAC/Mechanical to the Duct Fabricator, triplicating the estimating effort.
- Double and triple data entry along the way practically guarantees costly errors which may go unnoticed until field installation is under way.
Developers and owners have long sought solutions to the headache of ductwork estimating, and many software services have been offered to the market, with limited success.
Actual Cost, Precision Estimating
At The Cincinnatus Group, we’re confident in offering a solution to the time and money wasting inefficiencies inherent in ductwork acquisition. It’s about process and a comprehensive program that brings all the right people, software, and communications together into something we call DuctFlow PPO™ > Program ♦ Process ♦ Optimization.
We provide our DuctFlow PPO™ partners with:
- Actual ductwork install times
- Actual ductwork material costs
Now developers have the knowledge to bid out the installation of ductwork with accurate real-world installation times and materials costs.
You save money, time, and headaches when one entity with a proven track record of success takes charge and delivers precise estimates from day one.
What we offer is a ductwork acquisition pipeline that encompasses the use of software, the experience of dedicated industry professionals, the development of proprietary processes, and the optimization of activities along a critical path, from takeoffs and estimates, through production, to delivery and billing.
DuctFlow PPO™ helps you smooth out the kinks in the system, saving money and simplifying processes at every step. It’s actual cost estimating, and it can’t be beat.
