PriMus Overview

PriMus offers a complete integrated development and processing  environment for estimating or project management documents. Updated with regulatory guidelines, it generates:

  • Bill of Quantities (BoQ) or Bill of Material (BoM) - forecasts, resulting costs, work variation surveys, final accounting, quantity estimates, requests for proposal, labour incidence estimate, etc);
  • Measurement book
  • Accounting Register
  • Cost Summary
  • Work Progress statement
  • Payment certificate
  • Steel reinforcement bars requirements book
  • Price lists
  • Comparison table for work variation surveys, comparison of work progress statements, comparison of multiple design assumptions or proposals, etc
  • Weekly lists of workers, equipment, and costs
  • Forms (completion of works, beginning of works, suspensions, resumptions, execution, etc.) history management

PriMus WYSIWYG Interface

Thanks to its WYSIWYG Inteface, PriMus Revolution makes work easy as on a sheet of paper or a form, inserting descriptions and measurements.
Quantities, Price Lists and Work Progress Statements are simply different views for one single compact file; any changes made within the document are automatically updated and aligned in all other views. You can drop images into estimates (see below - drag and drop features).
General data, document structure (chapters, categories, etc.), forms, and documents, either they be already printed or yet to be printed, are directly linked to the document which users can display, consult, and change at any time.

PriMus - Easy to use with Drag and Drop Features

The display is a virtual desk on which the user can open price lists, quantities, surveys and measurement books to view, insert, modify, or copy data from one place to another with simple Drag and Drop operations. Each file is virtually identical to the corresponding hardcopy.

With PriMus Revolution, users have free access to a vast database of Price Books for Regions, Chambers of Commerce and private publishers. Price lists can be opened directly over the Internet and available data can be copied via Drag and Drop.
The PW-CONV technology, moreover, allows users to convert price lists to PWE, XPWE and DCF formats which are compatible with ACCA programs.

PriMus Features

ACTIVE DROP

Active Drop is an exclusive function of PriMus that allows dynamic control of data with Drag and Drop operations.

OBJECT TECHNOLOGY

PriMus Revolution is the first object driven Bill of Quantities program: the data input process is no longer a separate phase from document preview, but each document view can be used to input or edit data.

DOCUMENT PRINTING

PriMus has its own “print manager” that allows you to produce and customize all documents relating to a project. Each view can be printed, and previews can be worked on directly. You can also save in RTF, PDF, HTML, ASCII and DBF formats.

QUANTITY TAKE OFF FEATURES FROM A DRAWING

During the measurement input phase, PriMus uses an integrated module, PriMus for CAD, that allows the user to retrieve measurements from a drawing created with AutoCAD LT, AutoCAD, etc..; dimensions or “block” attributes can be transferred directly from the drawing to the Bill of Quantities document.

MERGE

The CompMERGE function allows the integration of different document versions that may have changed over time; CompDIFFERENCE highlights the differences or changes in the document during its creation, even by several operators.

MEASUREMENT AND LUMP SUM WORKS

PriMus manages measurement or lump sum mixed contracts and works in both the planning and project management and accounting phases.

SUPERWIZARD

The program’s internal superWizard generates the accounting document, by directly accessing the project document that was previously drawn up with PriMus to retrieve all the necessary information.

SUBQUANTITIES

With the “Subquantities” function, construction site measurements reported in the book can also be recorded with direct reference to the bill of quantities; with automatic display of percentage increases in the rates for the various Work Categories.

WORK VARIATIONS SURVEY WIZARD

To re-align the current accounting document, Lump Sum or Measurement and Lump Sum contract types, PriMus has a unique feature: the Works Variation Wizard. Simply indicate the new rates for each work category to quickly adjust the accounting document to the Works Variation Survey.

Programs Involved and Modules

PriMus-P -Bill of Quantities and Estimate

  • bill of quantities and estimate for design and management of private works
  • integrated processing of: Bills of Quantities (forecasts, resulting costs, works variations, final accounts, etc..), Price Lists, Work Estimates,
  • Requests for proposals, Project forms, Comparison tables (even between additional bills of quantities)
  • both technology and interface are similar to PriMus Revolution

Additional PriMus Modules
