Mining Project Confidence
At the heart of HD for Mining is the database - a living repository of estimated and actual data representing costs, production, and man-hours. The standards-based database is open, allowing historical data to be imported as a starting point, new data is then captured and organized automatically as estimates are created. In addition, data from leading third-party sources such as CostMine’s DataMine, RS Means, and Richardson can be leveraged electronically to drive estimate calculations and provide comparisons and validations.
Heighten the success of mining projects with accurate cost estimating and forecasting. HD for Mining handles complex shift and overtime arrangements, multiple currencies, labor bonuses, time-based cost escalations, varying advance rates and productivity factors, extensive equipment modeling, flexible calculations for indirect cost, and more.
- Maintain labor rate files that are specific to the area of work, with the ability to adjust resource rates for each project without impacting master rates.
- Model equipment rates in detail to automatically drive related costs such as mechanics, fuel, tires, and more.
- Pre-define crews and assemblies with advance rate/productivity factors, and use wage scales for automatic calculation of overtime costs and labor bonuses.
- Easily perform “what if” analysis and apply man-hour factors to adjust to project specific conditions.
- Embed existing Excel spreadsheets and dynamically link the values to the HD estimate to handle complex calculations for advance rates, indirect cost, and more.
- Automatically keep track of changes made to the estimate/budget with a full audit trail showing the impact of each change.
- Take advantage of hundreds of pre-defined report output options, or create your own reports.
