Benchmark Estimating Software fast filled a need in the Australian Civil Contracting market for a simple software estimating system. Many systems were on the market at the time but they were difficult to use. Our extensive experience in Civil Construction has allowed us to understand the needs of our clients, successfully demonstrating to many civil and road contractors, including Government Works Units, that Benchmark Estimating Software is easily integrated to achieve instant results. Benchmark Estimating Software then expanded into new markets, successfully becoming the standard estimating system amongst the major commercial Landscaping companies in Australia. Along the way, the company has demonstrated its amazing versatility as a software system with use also in the manufacturing, building maintenance, construction, telecommunications, rail and water industries.Benchmark Estimating Software is now used by over 3,000 users. The services we provide to our clients include technical support, training, implementation and software customisations. Our support services are widely regarded by our clients as setting the ‘benchmark’ in the industry. We have also developed and deliver a Professional Estimating Workshop to teach people how to estimate.
