McDougall Surveyors use the market leading Cato QS software supplied by Causeway (formerly ECL).
This specialist software package using Microsoft technology is a fully integrated approach to the preparation and use of documentation for the procurement and control of construction projects.
We can prepare full bills of quantities for traditional projects, bills of approximate quantities or builders quantities for contractors in a style to suit the particular client.
Bills can be delivered electronically in CITE format which allows the entire document to be read in to an estimating package. Alternatively they can be issued as an Excel spreadsheet or in pdf format.
Measuring from CAD drawings allows quantities to be obtained quickly and accurately.
Post contract services can be provided and the Project Control routine incorporates interim valuations and cost reports monitoring variations culminating in the preparation of the Final Account.
The ability to prepare, issue and exchange information electronically is ideal for remote working and allows the Practice the flexibility to work for clients across Scotland and the rest of the UK.
